Hello ALL,
Been busy with the change of duty station. Now I'm back here in SoCal.
I've been playing with masking tape to see how it would look without the
usual eyelids.

The eyelids seem to have grown in me. It gives the car a little more character and balances both front and tail lights especially from the side view. Just my humble opinion...

Joe,
Leave the lids alone.
Are you going to be able to make it to the SLO Meet since you're finally back on the mainland?

I' ve done the same thing to the eyebrows about a year ago during some tests. I ended up removing them 4-5 days later...
Eyebrows are piece of the personality/face/character of the car.
Just my opinion...

I agree. Leave the eye brows. Your makeover lights look like the ones on the E90s. Nothing wrong with them but I think the eye brows add a unique character to the E60.
And yes, what about the SLO Meet? I sent you a PM about that as well. Let me know.
