Someone posted a link to this car that has "eyelids" over the front headlights.

Does anyone have info on purchasing these?? I saw them mentioned on MG racing's site, but no price, etc.

Also, anyone have pics of these on a black S2000 ??

A friend at work and I have also noticed those eyelids and how sharp they look. But $185??? It looks like tape to me.

I don't see why I can't make a set out of polycarbon or other materials. The problem is the paint matching: touch up paint will probably not help very much. Any suggestions?

Mingster,

If you can make a set out of polycarbonate or any other materials, i think you would have better business if you can make a set of the clear (instead of orange) signal lights people have been taking out. Not that many people would see the $1000 euro clear lights as reasonable and a replacement sold for say $200, i think people would much rather do that... and the cost of manufacturing after the mold would be minimal. I have know idea what is involved with manufacturing. don't you need plastic injection molding or something?

*hopes someone is in the manufacturing biz*

Look where he put his lic. plate. If you gotta put one on, that is not a bad place to put it!
