Eyebrow ???
Hi all,
I saw this carbon fiber headlight eyebrow set on eBay. I am not a big fan of carbon fiber add ons as too many ricers use them extensively.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2013-16-Carr...JX4A7k&vxp=mtr
The only reason I consider it is when I got xpel headlight protection film installed on my car, the installer screwed it up little bit. There is some delamination around the edges. I was thinking about using the eyebrows to cover it. My car is 2014 c2 guards red.
Too ricey/cheesey? Anyone has any experience wit them? Your input is appreciated.
Thanks

This will end up being a personal design decision. You will get tons of different opinions on here - but at the end of the day, it's your baby, and you should do what makes you happy, personally.
That's my opinion anyway.

I would personally skip it as well. The stock in my eye looks better. But, that's me. That's why they offer cars in different colors and better - black door handles - different wheels - aftermarket products.
You should design the car that makes YOUR eyes happy.

I disagree with the previous posters. I don't care at all if you are pleased with the car. I only want 2 things:
1) to not throw-up in my mouth if I ever happen to see your car, and
2) to not see the 911's reputation degraded for the rest of us.
If you didn't need help with this decision you wouldn't have asked for help.
Don't do it.

Do you peeps really think that a man who has managed to acquire a late-model 911 doesn't KNOW that it's his car, he paid for and he can do whatever he damn well pleases to it? Is it really helpful to remind him of that?
His was a desperate cry for help, a plea to someone with taste to stop him from this misstep before somebody is injured. If he was holding a syringe full of liquid drain opener would you say, "Hey man, whatever feels good to ya?"

This time I think you might have drifted a little too close to Donald Trumpism.
OP- I agree that some mods are over the top but brother unless someone is contributing to the payments the only opinion that matters is yours. I also hate to see people eviscerated on the forums no matter how the question or comment aggravates someone.
With that said if you put these on a dark car they would be lost anyway. I wouldn't personally like them on a lighter car. I think Carbon Fiber is a nice interior accent.

The problem with the film not working well on the 991 headlights is that Porsche coats the headlights with a very thin anti-UV coating and any film on the headlights will likely pull some of that UV coating off, especially at the edges where the film pulls after stretching over the bulged shape of the 991 lens. So when you see a film on the headlights that seems to be peeling at the edges, it isn't the film that's peeling, it is the UV coating. It is something that a film installer can't beat.

Sure why not.
Used to see those on a Miata with pop-ups at track days twenty years ago.

Thank you, that's kind to say.
Fair enough. But to be clear, any evisceration I inflicted was aimed not at the question asker, but at people who feel the need every time somebody asks for our opinion, to fall all over themselves iterating, reiterating, and post-iterating the fact that the decision is, after all, the asker's to make, and no matter what we might be saying, he needs to make sure he understands that we support his right to do whatever he wants to his own car, because, after all, we're not making the payments, ya know.
Myamymy, if you were caught in my eviscerating crossfire, my apologies. I personally might not do the eyebrows on my personal car, but I can see how it might appeal to some people and after all, in case you have forgotten, it is your car, and ultimately, you may not realize this, but you, and only you, can make this decision about eyebrows on the front of your Porsche.
Unless of course, I start making the payments, in which case I will rip those ugly bastards off the front so fast it'll pull the paint and primer off with them.
Oh, and just to further render my post ridiculous: I have no idea what eyebrows we're even talking about (assuming it's not the ones pictured right above.) So I'm just going on the sound of it.
