Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior The wait is over! Bat's New h8 Headlight Overlay[PICS]!

Wow, back to my roots with the Celica . I present my new Overlay for the headlights. It's been over 2 years since I did my last headlight overlay, maybe longer. Okay lets cut to the chase. I wanted something different, something that took the hood line and brought down in a nice manner to the bottom of the headlight. This is a 1 piece kit! This is also the prototype, and I've provided pics at the bottom showing the revisions for the final Overlay. I hope you like it, if not, you still have 7 more to choose from . Enjoy!

h8 Headlight Overlay $25 pr







Revisions for productions Overlay:

Overlay will match up with hoodline and continue it.



Overlay will be cut back a bit to match up with edge of projector lamp. Also, corner will be slightly rounded so overlay does not appear to end abrubtly.



Lower half will be narrower to give it a more streamlined look. More pics up soon .

i like it! it looks meaner

very different from anything ive seen , but looks pretty damn cool i think. no oem hid overlays huh haha?

get me a test car in San Diego and I'll do the kit for the HID version

Bat-

Hmm neat, however I still would like the TRD look. I bet others would as well. What yah say Bat, you into putting together a TRD style as well?

whats the trd look? what does it look like?

can't wait to see the final product
we'll see how it'll look like in black...

I'll wait until the final revision is posted before making a decision...

oh he means the eyelids! i thought i was missing something. ok i know what that is

that's hot. I'd buy it!

The Overlay is available now if anyone is interested. Revisions are subtle as you can see, so I don't plan on reapplying the kit on the test car at this time .

I do plan on attending the meet on the 17th of this month. If anyone's interested in it, email me with the color you want, and I'll bring it along with me

Bat-

sweet...see you at the meet andy. oh btw...I love how its an "1 Piece Kit"!!!

Oh damn those are cool, give the celica a mean look

hmmmm...idk... cant make decision...

from the pics, i dont like them

hmm i think i might actually like this overlay i probably need to see it on a red celi 00-02's ...

otherwise another nice overlay

have you tried making the other half of the headlight? like the bottom half covered with overlay and the top half? i wanna see what that looks liek

anyone near san diego with oem hids? hey, worth a shot right?

i like that

like it

But keep up the good work

Bat,

Would you accept sketches/photoshops of custom vinyls that I or someone else may make as a reference for a new vinyl?

Not saying that you would have to make it or anything, but possibly a way to have people send you ideas that you may or may not like and wish to put into mass production.

And by vinyls, I don't mean flames, penises, or jap crap that no one can read, but rather headlight covers, tail light covers, etc.

it would look hotter if it had it on both sides of the light, I think

freakin sweet! i gotta get the smoked overlays first, then add that one

I think they would look and flow better if the section above the low beam light would be convexly shaped to flow better with the hoodline, rather than a straight line cutting the headlight in half. Not really sure i like the style...but i like your others!

I knew this design might not please everyone, but it was one I wanted to do for a while now. I like it, and it's available to those that wish to get it. Can't wait to see it on other colors .

Bat-

Nice , they look like eyelids missing a part, make the car look aggressive

where can i get trd covers??? or a overlay that loks like trd

This is your "TRD style." Its the h4 kit.



Then it would look like a h4 kit ^^^.


I think it flows well. If you check it out from hood level, it flows with the lines on the hood that come inward before the hood squares off.



I'm going to be uploading my pictures soon.

BTW, i'm gonna try to make it out to Chino on Sunday. No guarantees, but i'll try.

I had a VERY similar idea back in April.

wow i like the H4 kit, im getting that...

Development

left

right

Awesome. I still think I'm going to get the h5 kit, but the new h8 kit is great because it is aggressive and different. Please keep up the good work.

Thanks. That's what I had in mind when doing this kit. Something different from my previous Overlays yet aggressive

Bat-

hey blue batmobile or anyone with a black celica, would the carbon fiber h4 match? Or should I stick to black?

I've had a few people order carbon fiber for black or carbon blue. I think it'll look cool

Bat-

need to look into the HID bulbs. I'd be ur tester but all the way in florida so it woudl be a long drive

Anyone in San Diego?

Bat-

ah come on!! anyone in sandiego with oem hids? i love all of your overlays bat, i just dont have any that will fit mine. glad ur still down with the celi though

Hey Tito Andy, how about having Billy (Evil Irish) be your test car? He has an HID Celica. Plus, i heard he's going to the meet

these are the HID headlights, right

I hope Billy doesnt mind me posting a pic of his car.

yup thats them!! a nice trd style overlay for the hids would be fackin awesome!!

I'd like to do this kit before attempting anything else on HID's.

Bat-

Andy, can you do a matching smoked part for these? to cover the remainder of the headlights?
