I got these smoked headlight covers from DAMD. They fit the Japanese bB headlights and if you have the TYC projectors. The US model headlights have the bump by unlike the completely flat lens from the Japanese model.

I wanted to see your opinion on these covers. Several companies that I know of have the ability to make these but I was not sure how the US Scion owners would react to this - will it sell or will it flop.

Of course to make it, it wil be designed to fit the US headlights and will change it to make sure it is not the exact copy of the DAMD one for legal reasons.

Also I was thinking of maybe doing them in clear and smoke. Maybe have an xB logo etched in the center.

Please let my know your opinions..good or bad ....it is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

By the way in the following pictures, I did not close the hood completely just FYI.

 

That looks SWEEEEET! How much $?

 

hmmm... *scratching head*

Would look better if the fog in the bumpers were smoked.

BTW...Are those lights in your front lip bright?

 

Is that the top-secret TRF kit that will be revealed in a couple hours?

 

I believe thats a Nish special (modified red genie)

 

I like it! How much would something like that cost.

 

I like it very nice especially if we get it clear and paint with a tinted clearcoat to match paint. . . .that would look sick
How much??

 

I'd hit it, depending on the price.

 

i likie

 

that looks sweet imo..i'd get it (depends on how much it would be though)

bosing,
if your known company can make those, can they copy(well a little tweaking) your E-sam visor? dude i'm dead to the bone on those but can't justify its price. maybe you can do something about it.

 

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! Please. I 've been wanting one!

 

will it be street legal?
that might have a big impact on people rocking them..
imagine u sell like 20 of them and then cops harass them?
i dunno....

but it does look cool

 

Thanks so far for some of your inputs.

As far as prices..not sure what the cost would be.

What would you pay for something like this?

I still would have to see if companies are willing to build this part and what the tooling will cost.

Also, Joey brought up a good point in regards to it being legal or not.
It depends on each state and locality. I see a lot of trucks and cars with smoked head lights etc.
I think if it is visible at night and it does not affect the brightness of the headlights to make it unsafe for driving then that would be an issue.
These covers don't affect the brightness at all when I tried them on.

In the day, you can visibly see the turn signals blinking etc...

I think it's just when you have it too dark is when you'll run into problems.

I like the idea of making them clear so people can tint them to what ever they prefer.

I think it would be cool to have them clear so that it will still look stock but now you have headlight protection. I am sure headlight lenses cause more than this product.

We'll have to see if this is something we are going to pursue....I think the question really is..will people buy it? How much is someone willing to pay for it? Will there be enough buyers out there to get back your initial investment and eventually make profit?

Once again, thanks for the input. Please keep them coming.

 

I'd be interested if the pricing is right.

 

the thing shouldn't cost that much to product(it'll be like 2 vent visors put together worth of material) i say let it list price at 100 bucks even(with appropriate hardware)
and it'll be a done deal..

i think it'll be cool..

hey adrian.. can u guys produce a smoked color
rear like wing/deflector(like suvs, vans and whatever has) for the upper rear?

 

I would be intrested if the price wasn't stupid high.

 

I'd pay anywhere from $35-65 on this, it's only a piece of plastic.

 

that makes sense, but people also pay 250 bucks for vent visors.
and those are pieces of plastic..

people pay 150 bucks on that gas cap thingy as well..

i hope this smoke thing will be 35-65 thats awesome for the price

 

The real deal cost $270 plus shipping which should be around $60 to $100 so we are looking at $3XX something cover here, hope they can lower the price, wondering how he did fit that on the car if its for bB, take care Sean
