Eyebrows? (pics)
 
I found some eyebrows that I bought on eBay a few months ago for £14 (about $20-ish), but but completely forgot about and never got round to installing. I test fitted them, and I am now debating wether to paint them gloss black (to match my wheels, grills, badges... (other trim that I have/Going to paint black)) or silver. what do you guy think?

They are very good quality (surprisingly) and sit pretty much perfect.

Opinons are welcome :)

negatory... my opinion is leave it off

I don't think of them as trim, so I would go the same color as the car.

Agree, must match body color.

This is what I was thinking, and they would stand out more in silver. I don't really like the cutoff line between the headlight and fender, but I don't think that I will mind it too much... I hope...

If you're going to run them I'd color match them to the body.

Are the roads in the UK really this narrow? Your X5 doesn't even fit into one lane.

haha, yes, yes they are :) My X is usually parked in the garage/driveway around the back alongside my 8. I hate parking it on the road, there is not a parking space in London that my X does not stick out of :rolleyes: This is the only reason why I have not added spacers :banghead:

Not sure why anyone would install these eyebrows. I don't think it's a good look and it's possibly impacting headlight capability?

It doesn't impact headlight capability, just cuts off the tip of the angle eyes. To each his own I guess...
