Default looking for eyebrows

In the video section of aufalcon.com there was a transport department add warning of the dangers of speeding : [I think]. There was a silver au ute with a hawk front[?] : .From where the front corner of the bonnet and the top corner of the grill meet ran a slim piece of bodykit across the top and down the side of the headlight, kind of like an eyebrow for want of a better description.I have kept a look out for this piece of kit but havent spotted it as yet. : Does anyone have any info on this kit? Thanks.

the ute in that ad is actually one from AWC
the eyebrow was a custom made job as they were trying to make the AU ute look less like an AU ute for some reason, thats why they liked the Hawk front on it

not sure who made the eyebrow though, definately not available from anyone that i know of

Arent they called "eyelids", if you search that maybe better results may come up. And that ute on the ad was awesome, though they removed all badging, evil SOB's.

i think the way AU Low did his was to get a pair of headlight covers, fit them to the lights, use masking tape to work out where you want painted.

then mask up the area that you dont want paint on and spray them..

I know places that made the raised eyelids for them .. and to cover part of the indicator as well..

Place like:

www.xracing.com.au make similar ones for the Lancer/Mirage.
I think www.newstylemotorsport.com.au made the same.
Other bodykit places might make them as well.
www.jetspeed.com.au I think as well

Don't quote me on the links ... I just know the companies ... not the exact URLs

you could do it directly on the lens, but you wont be getting it off in a hurry if you dont like it / stuff it up

i'd do it to some headlight covers first, make sure you like it before doing it to your actual headlights
