What did they do with the roof panels?
Do you have LEDs inside your headlights like the Audi?
I would like to get some eyebrows for my car but can't justify the cost to get them from the ONLY supplier I could find (they're in Germany!). Are your eyebrows just stuck on with the film? If so, I wonder what material I could use (my car is Thunder Blue) and what the template looks like.

roof panels are gloss black, to complement the glass roof.

I put the LED below my headlight, wun wanna risk my warranty by removing the covers, might do it when the warranty's over hahahahaha

eyebrows are of same carbon material, by 3M. Streamline wise, its free hand. U have to take certain points of reference to stick it :D

Do you have any shots of the LEDs on, and how do you have them wired. I would love to see how they look. How did you do them too btw, did you buy a strip piece?

i'll take the pics and post later.

the Philips LED @ the grill is linked to ignition, its always on whenever I crank my car. The ones below my headlamp is linked to a switch tho :D

Very cool! This is just a 3M sitcker that has been cut to the EOS' panels? Where did you get the LED lighting? Do you know if you can purchase replacement headlight enclosures with the "eyebrow" lighting?

yep, 3M dry carbon stickers cut to fit the panels etc.

I got the Philips LED and wired them up to the ignition wires.

I dun think Vw or after market ones make headlamps with lighting alike Audi, but u can choose to open the casing and DIY, tho it aint easy and if u aint familiar, u might burn a fuse or worse. I only got weatherproof LED strips below the headlamp tho I hardly use them, except in poor lit areas :D

i forgot the names of those makers but some hail from Taiwan and they make for the Golf GTI or Passat, EOS has 0 options :mad:

Hey Tortoise,

Welcome back - I had been wondering what had happened to you as I missed your contributions.

Keep the Singapore connection going.

This style of vehicle presentation is quite common in Asia and looks better in real life than it does in images as the depth of the colour does not photograph as well as it could.

Asia is the cutting edge for new technology for performance and styling modifications for 4 cylinder and rotary engine vehicles. Japan and Australia for improving 6 cylinder engines. V8 engines are still an American specialty. V12 and V16 engines belong to the Europeans [including the UK].

hahahaha i never expect the Europeans etc to like the styling we have over here, like wat we did on the matt black stickers / paint on the Lamborghini / Nissan GTR R35 etc, they prefer the original paint etc.

I went for the dry carbon cos it looks good to me and its almost scratch proof, good for my construction work and travels, i dun get stone chips at all.

EOS is ok here, some think its overpriced and not many will get it. Would you pay S$151,000 for a 2.0T EOS here? Only a small group would I guess, but we like it cos its a CSC, and locally, we get to enjoy sunny weathers mostly so its worth the bucks :D
