I contacted a car part maker, and i asked them if they would make us parts. I don't know exactly how much it will cost but if i can get at least 6 orders, they will make us a carbon fiber hood for about 600 bucks, maybe less maybe more. I also want to maybe start a group deal on some eyelids for the headlights. I dont know how much for those though. If you intrested please respond. thanks

the way i made my eye brows is.. i just went to local art store and got some 3m emblem tape and a magnet sheet.. the size of the sheet is like 1ftx2ft.. and its like 2bucks.. but u have to make a templet of how u want your eye brows to look and then just cut it out. paint it with a car paint that u can get a pepboys and if u want u can get a clear coat on it. then put the 3m tape on the back side of the cut out and slap the on your head lights n bam u got eye brows.. nice n ez.. and it looks good.. well to me it dose..

one more thing one the eyebrows

when u put the 3m tape on it.. make sure to get it on the bac side and the whole bac side.. leave no open spaces on it.. and it won't mess up your headlights ither.. so when u need to take it off just pull at it and it will come right off.. and one of the reasons i went with the magnet sheet was that it had thickness to it.. so it looks like a mold, and not like a sticker.. some thing to thin makes it look cheap... take my word on it.. i try'd it.. so the things u need are..

*3m emblem tape* (u can get at pepboys
*Car paint to match car* (u can get at pepboys
*1, 1ftx2ft magnetic sheet*(u can get at ne local arts and craft store
**the rest is all in your art skill**
