Here's an idea I'd like to see. Basically, a fairly standard eyelid line along the face, but capping the side of the headlight. If it was body color it could be pretty cool.

Here is my submition for the eyelid project. The first is a rough idea on your original pic, and the second is cleaner on a front pic. Enjoy

I actually wonder what it would look like if there was another curve over the turn signal, and filling the rest in. It would be like two curves sections for the light output and the rest would be body color. Pretty extreme, but it could look cool.

Never heard of it.

Thanks.

Lets just say its a type of plastic not many work with or should I say have the tools to work with. Used on dirt bikes, ATVs, Rhinos, Street bikes and now scions. Way better and stronger than fiberglass and ABS. Wont Crack no Real bodie work needed to paint and fits great. Vacume formed and cut out on a 5 axis cnc router.

The alloy part threw me for a loop? Not sure why they call it a alloy being theres no metals in it. It a plastic sheet with fillers (Micro Beads) aka glass beads. Glass beads are often used to reduce shrinkage durning cooling. Stronger? Well, if you say so I've never worked with the product you mention. But, looks like a great product.

Good luck on your eyelids. Just might pick up a set when ready.

Reinforced nylon/propylene alloys are a unique family of products developed by Ferro Corporation. These products address the needs of the users in the automotive, appliance, liquid handling, power tool and industrial markets requiring minimizing the adverse effects of water absorption commonly experienced with nylon molding compounds. This product offers stability in processing and physical properties in humid conditions.


Polypropylene fibres which can be conventionally dyeable using disperse dyes have been prepared by alloying with nylon 6 and a polypropylene grafted maleic anhydride compatibiliser during extrusion. The dyeing performance of fibres containing various amounts of these components has been assessed. Received: 22 July 2003; Accepted: 12 November 2003
