Anyone want something like this? Headlight filler panel

EDIT 11/28
They are live now!

I came up with this filler panel idea when I retrofitted my headlights. The factory plastic plate at the bottom corner has a "fin" look and is completely useless other than to take up space(2nd Gens have them too..not sure what Toyota was thinking?). In my opinion a color matched, smooth panel accentuates the headlight lines and makes them look more aggressive.

Example:




At first I was going to 3d print a cover, but now I am looking into tooling up and having brand new smooth replacement panels injection molded. Then painted with OEM color matched paint.


NEW protoype:


There inside was cutout and a smooth panel flushed so there will be no added thickness or clearance issues.



FITS LIKE OEM:







So back to the point...

-WOULD ANYONE BE INTERESTED IN A PAIR OF THESE?
-WHAT WOULD YOU PAY? (1 pair, complete replacements, Automotive grade paint, color matched to your paint code)

If there is enough interest, I'll cut a mold for them. Lets hear it!

 

Awesome look

I”m often thinking of that useless spot too. But since you’re a light mod king. How about work your talent with some smoked out led lights there to compliment the DRLs?

 

I thought about lights, and its still doable. But I just felt with all the lights in the headlight it might be a little overkill..

 

$30 shipped

 

Would this be in the $60-$75 range for the pair?

Looks very nice!

 

Looks like I’m the outlier

 

That's why I'm asking you guys and feeling the market. I was thinking around $40-50 shipped. The painting is the most time consuming, maybe even offer a raw if someone wants to DIY, or even a color matched vinyl sticker from @rrentrop

 

Have you thought about bringing out the panel to make them flush with the light / grille?

I'm not wild about the body colored look with an inset panel but it might be kinda neat if it were flush.

 

I’m in

 

I would pay $50 shipped with no paint. And I'd do it tomorrow too!

 

Never thought about that.. I'll have to mock it up and see how it looks.

Just a ballpark, give or take. More important questions is if there is any demand for this.

 

Flush would be better. It would make it look part of the grill surround.

 

Interested. Maybe “TRD” or something else cool in there

 

I’d give it a shot in the $40-50 range.

 

I’m in! I’d take a diy set if you end up offering that.

 

I’d be down for a flush mount in the $50-$60 range

 

TW will swarm on any products that you make

 

I would take a DIY pair, I don't like how water traps in the stock one.

 

YESSS I've been wanting these since I saw them on your build page. I'm in for these and the 4runner fuse panel cover whenever they are available.

 

you're always coming up with innovative ideas
