We are working on 2 style
this style is probably our first option
We are going to work on more of a straighter version
too, one that may look better with the 97 Grills

yeah SVX is not one for eyebrows ........there's no lines that they could possibly flow with and the headlights are small to begin with

Just looks weird

Looks like it is squinting - or that there is something wrong with it. :)

Very true. There is an ass for every seat.

Not a big fan of things blocking the light output. :) But to each their own.

I am interested in the front lip though. Will call later.

too, one that may look better with the 97 Grills It might look ok with any grille other than that one (97, Smallcar, or even just painted). Even then, I think it goes down a little too much.

IMO, if you're going to use the waterfall grille unpainted, the eyelids really need to start on the grille and then go to the corner of the lights. So it might have to be 2 pieces (and then people with 97 grilles could just use the part that goes on the light).

Anyways, here's a quick chop of what I was thinking:

I like your idea, Thanks for the input

those are pretty nice, looks sorta like the 97-98 nissan 240sx headlights. How about a eyelid that wraps around the corner signal lights to?

I always liked the way that model Nissan looked too
We thought about having them wrap around, but one problem
is the gap between the headlight and corner lite tends to vary
quite a bit from car to car.
Hey, you are in the Bronx area, do you have time to run over
to my manufacturer next week with your Svx to make a template?
Hes in Staten Island ?

The grill would have to be changed to match. This reminds me of Mike's former SVX:

Would these be something paintable, or would it just be like colored vinyl to match your car?

i was thinking of the same thing, those are usually done by fiberglass, but i prefer doing them in Vynil. Two layers per headlight are more than enough...
