Default Stainless steel headlamp eyebrows.

Good Afternoon.
Some of you are familiar with The eyebrows I have made for the crossfire.
See here https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...ead.php?t=9519
I know some of you have requested more colors and I am going to try to get to them.
I have a stainless steel project coming up that I need to cut on a water jet so while I'm at it,
I am going to make a set of stainless steel eyebrows for my crossfire.
Here is the question?
Anyone else interested?
I am not sure on price as I need to figure the material and cut and polish time.
If you want some please post, Of course this is just a feeler and you will not be required to buy if you think they are too much or just don't like the look.
I'll post some pics before selling.
Thanks.

Talk about a thread jack.

EDIT: Another thing, CTD; you're not going to generate any interest from forum members here until you can at least match stryfox's price, which is roughly 55 EUR.

i don’t want to compare stryfox eyebrows with ours. our eyebrows are made of FRP and molded around the headlight housing.

They look good tino but most members don't want to have to paint theirs themselves. It gets expensive when you need to take them to a body shop.
If I saw yours before I made mine I probably would have bought them.

I prefer the material and the look of mine but that is just my opinion.


I'll keep you guys posted on the polished stainless ones as I am excited to see how they will look on the car.
I feel they will accent the inside of the headlamps quite nicely.
Plus they will be peel and stick. Does not get any easier than that.

I'm not wild about the eyebrows, but I sure like the looks of that bumper, Is that a stock bumper for later models??

~ according to the pic... it is an overlay.

it attaches to the stock bumper (look at the seam located toward the top of the fog lamp on the right & left side of it).

Good eye Andrew, I think you are right.
I kinda like it. The grooves in the lower part really make it.

I wanted Alabaster real bad. I have some very bad heavy scratches deep into the lense on the driver's side right where the eyebrows would cover it. I could go for stainless steel if it would look right on Alabaster. If not, I'm going to have to replace the whole lense.

Since it doesn't look like alabaster is going to come about, I was thinking of CTD's but then I don't want to have to paint them. Dang.

Hey Cissy,
If you can barley feel the scratch in the headlamp lens with your fingernail it could be polished out using wet sand paper and compound.
Let me know if you need details.

I'll keep you guys and gals posted on the stainless project as I have the program done but have not been to the machine shop to cut them yet.
I can't wait to see them on the car, should look great with my chrome grille!

Anyone ever see that "overlay" on the bumper picture? I thinks that looks great. Probably would not even be able to see that seam on a black car. I'd like to know if that's an available accessory.

You can contact CTD to find out.
I don't see it listed on their web site as an item for sale.
