I used to have painted brows on my car too.....some helpful tips....
-Use some kind of glass adhesion promoter first...unless you want to repaint them every week, they tend to chip very easily.
-Use a duplicolor paint that matches your cars color code (adjust for paint fading, etc.), it looks better that way.
-Blue Painters tape is very helpful in masking off the area you want painted, remember to accurately measure out each side, so the angles line up the same, otherwise it'll look like your car was punched in the face. lol
-Don't paint the corner lenses if you ever plan on removing the eyebrows, their clear plastic finish makes it impossible to get the paint off without scratching them. Also don't cover too much of the headlight beam, you don't wanna drive blind at night.
-Last, put the paint on nice and heavy, each coat thickening till your desire, otherwise you'll end up being able to see through the paint, and it'll look crappy. Make sure you use plenty of clearcoat too.
Good luck!
Oh yea, and if you need to remove them to repaint them or w/e, a razor blade is your best friend, it won't hurt the glass headlights at all.
that looks like a cheap rip off of fake s15's with a different hood. but hoods that double as eyelids aren't really that nice. plus, the color of that car almost matches to vomit forced out when seeing the ugly body kit
