Has anyone notice that the Angel Eyes on the new 1-series seem to go all the way 'round the lens?

Is this going to make the e-bay knockoffs less uncool?

but those headlights are in a sealed unit and look to be a one piece unit. they flow with the body lines. the angels on the e34 dont flow that smoothly. as for angels on the e34 well, to each his own, i cant pass judgement because i can't even decide for my own car!

not to hijack, but have you guys seen the prototype m4 yet? its freakin sweet.

If the hood on the E34 came down another couple of inches to "cap" off the top of the lights like the E39 does, then the lights look good on the E34.

I didn't notice this until someone posted a picture of their E34 with one of those Eye-brow kits coupled with the angel eye lights, that's when it looked good, it gave the E34 a mean look, kind of like the E39 does. But the problem is that the Eye-brow kits look like a cheap add on. But if the actual hood was a couple inches lower in the front, it would achieve the effect.

Now all you have to do is a photoshop of a 2 door E34, with a slightly lower hood in the front, with xenon angel eye headlights, and you would have one of the best looking cars in the world!

Any of the photoshop people out there care to try??? You could call it, "DE-Bangled"..........

Ewww. Those are the real deal, that don't meet at the top. But there's nothing to cover up the top part that's wired together all industrial-like because it's not meant to be seen.

Yuck.

I do like the look of Angle Eyes with a pair of well designed Eyebrows. I think I'll make my own so they have a slight dropping inward angle so as to add to the manacing look or expression, if you will.;)
Lending towards the Skyline Gt-R appearence which is by far the toughest street car look IMHO,anyways. I feel the slant inwards pulls this off well.
Maybe I'll just design in this eyebrow as I develope my CF hood ? That way I can avoid the added look all together.
I think I just answered my own question here....lol.:D
Post up pix of your new eyebrows when they arrive please !
