Yeah the Azect ones actually get subtley fatter as they go along. They don't actually look right to me, as if someone without any design expertease or an eye for lines sculpted them, whereas the copies are much better in my opinion, but the man's a sucker for a brand name and I can understand that :P

i bought them off sol-lude on LB a few years ago - was told they were copies - wasnt sure what they were so i guessed they were azect ones as that was the only name id heard of at that time associated with eyebrows- looks like i was wrong - im sure nafe said they were hiro or wings west copies - i think they are wings west so they do go perfectly with the front bumper :)
imo they set the front of the car nicely :D

Wings west made the skinny versions originally, then they got copied by every man and his dog in the US, didn't take long to spread.
