Custom Light Brows

Post by Scotty »

Hey all,
Over the last week i started to custom fabricate my own light brows from fibreglass. The 1st one has come out really well and is ready to be painted. Now just to do the second one.

I commend you, your quality of work is very high, and the finished product looks quite good, but eyelids/brows were never my thing.

The only thing that might be a problem is that they come down fairly far over the headlights, and might block some portion of the light.

If it doesn't block it and the Cops are OK with it, then, GOOD WORK!

that should look pretty good when its done... nice job!

@BosnianLanos: over here in the UK some people like headlight 'eye-lids' so much... some almost completely cover the lights. havnt ever police say anything about it... altho some people take theirs off when having the car tested.

Basically all i did was mask up my lights with masking tape. (Really think so no fiberglasss leaked through) Then i applied a wax substance so when i have finnished the fiberglassing i could easily pull it off. Then simply fiberglassed straight onto the light. When the qst 2 layers were done i waited for it to set and peeled it off. I then kept adding more layers untill it was suitably thick enough. Then just added filler to even it out, and alot of sanding.

This was my 1st ever attempt at fiberglassing and have since gone on to make other things. Its a good place to start.

Batteryops, im really interested in your bonnet. Post up picks
