Smile Eyebrows

I always wanted to give my 128i that 5 series eyebrow look. I came across this web site http://de.csr-shop.info/public/catal...ductid=9406283 and lucky for me they were located one hour away from me (I am in Germany for few more months). So made contact with the company, got a response (in English) and the next day I went to pick up my Brows. I didn't want to buy some cheap crap that will fall off few days later but these looked pretty well. The only doubt I had is if the tape (3M tape) will hold, but the product itself looked promising. Eyebrows are sold unpainted so I went to BMW dealership and bought a spray pain to match my paint job (another 18 Euro). I took my time to paint. I used 100 sand paper, then cleaned it with the rubbing alcohol. I applied three layers of paint with 15 minute interval and after third coat I left it to dry. Came back the next day to finish it off with clear coating. Same deal, three coats, fifteen minutes in between. Then left it over night and when I came back the eyebrows looked great. I immediately cleaned my headlights and applied them. The tape did it job and secured the brows with no problem. I am very impressed with the look. It really makes the car look grumpy I will post pictured within few days so you guys can take a look.

What kind of mines do you like? Are they free floating? or the ones that are moored at the bottom of the ocean?
