As a 07 owner my car has , as i call them the bug eye shape lights. I like the newer more aggressive lights. Question is, has any one seen eyebrow type covers as would go onto the light to give it a more sleeker look. Would be a cheaper and easier option if done well, and would look good. I don't want to go down the road of changing lights as to many issues. Also i have seen the threads on splitting open the lights and spraying the inside, don't want that hassle either.
Picture below is only an example of the type of item i mean.

 

Just found this pictures looks sweet, could be an answer,

Chris at Mina Gallery told me they were coming out with them as a paintable product but have not seen it yet.

 

I had a email from Chris some time ago saying he had developed them in C/Fiber. ? I will check.

 

Sent an e-mail to them but no answer yet

 

I sent one also, will keep you informed.

 

Got an e-mail back from Chris today and he said he should have an image in 4-5 days.

 

Yes I got the same email .Should be interesting.

 

Yes should be, hope they give a aggressive look and not to expensive.

 

I'm a few minutes away from Chris, I'll stop in there next week and see what he's got.

 

That would be great tberg, for me i would be looking for a pair i could spray the same as my car if he has that option. Don't forget plenty of pics.

 

Will do. I will probably stop this Tuesday or Wednesday and report back.

 

Both you guys got me thinking about this, so I spent a little time and a half-roll of electrical tape putting on different shape and size covers like what you're trying to find. I agree that the XKRs look better with a smaller, more aggressive headlight.
So anyway, it got a little too cold for the tape to stick after a few attempts, but I'd recommend that you use the Tape trick (color-matched tape if that's your thing) to try out as many shapes/styles as you can think of to determine what you best prefer.
My thoughts are the more of the top part you cover and the "anglier" they get, the better they look. I even overdid it for a minute and covered too much of the light and blocked some of the beam. Looked cool for a minute though.
Still waiting on those pics from Chris!

 

Thanks/ maybe you can check on the seat deleate also,last time I spoke with him on this he was just waiting for brackets. ? Bernie.

 

I did the tape thing on the light on Sunday and the vinyl tape was a near enough match to my car color, looked OK, but it looked to flat. The eyebrows need to be a bit raised, similar to other types available for other cars. This would give the right effect.

 

I did mine merely to find the shape I preferred, not as a permanent solution. I agree it would be too flat to the lens to look correct.
If one wouldn't mind the flatness of the tape, the shape could be made out of that vinyl body-wrap stuff in whatever color imaginable. Even carbon fiber or whatever graphic imaginable. The "stock" colors and patterns are pretty cheap on eBay.

Got another message from Chris yesterday and he said he is waiting on the image, had you any chance to stop over and see any results.

 

I will stop this afternoon.

 

Brilliant, looking forward to see results

 

i agree , cant wait. To see.
