Best Way Of Removing Eyebrows?

[Dan_Harris]

Ok guys, It has finally dawned on me that I really don't like the eyebrows on my IS. They look great from the front but from the side it just doesn't look right, how is the easiest/best way of getting these off as i'm fairly sure they are siliconed on:(?

Part of the beauty of the IS is it's headlights and how it perfectly follows the lines of the car :)

If they have just been siliconed on I would try using dental floss. insert between light and eyebrow and pull to cut silicon.

hope this helps mate

Thanks Adrian, Have a week off coming up so hopefully will get the hairdryer / heatgun if I can find one onto these and get them off. Will be taking the lenses apart to give them a good clean anyways as all the condensation that had been getting in has really made a mess of the insides :(

Get a Bic and some shaving foam and job done mate , looks strange tho , can't think why you want to do it >.LOL.

[Dan_Harris]

Want to do it because, they were on it when I bought the car and haven't really grown on me. So am going to take them off (+ it will also keep me busy during my week off work :P), why will it look strange?

Oh I see Dan , on your car :D sorry mate LOL

Sorry i couldnt resist!

It is worth noting that it may be cheaper to buy a different IS than the replace the razorblades on the Gillette Fusion

Ohdear can't believe I missed that joke first time round , I look like a complete muppet now (at first I actually thought you meant use a bic+shaving foam on my car) :P meanwhile back on track any ideas lol ?

Dental floss is a good one. Then remove the silicone with some kinda tar/bug remover, strong cleaning fluid.

[Steviewevie]

why will it look strange?

*Ahem* Sorry mate :D

Yeah, tar remover (e.g. Autoglym) is good at removing remnants of sticky stuff. Or you could try WD40.

You mentioned a heat gun, but I wouldn't try anything hotter than a hair dryer if I were you, in case you start melting the plastic.

[Dan_Harris]

Ahh ok thanks Steve, would you recommend this for also seperating the headlight unit itself?

Sorry I have no experience of opening up the headlamps myself, but I'm pretty sure there are some threads around here discussing just that (even a YouTube video link as well if I recall correctly ?).

[Dan_Harris]

hmm i recall that video they opted for the oven tactic, thing my parents would kill me if the sunday roast started smelling and tasting like plastic :P. :)

Have you tried waxing? Put it on, let it harden and then just give it a good sharp tug. Hurts like buggery but smooth results and no monobrow!

You are talking about those kind of eyebrows right?!
