((( curious about what you think... )))

Ok so here's what im thinking... I have a local guy who is going to hopefully go thru with it... I did discover one issue with the headlights and its that the main ring on your cars or the low beam ring goes all the way around...unlike the 335 or M3's which cut off the top of the ring creating a nice aggressive cut.

Due to the fact that nobody in the world makes a LED ring that goes full circle and since I don't think anyone will any time soon... the only thing I can do is what i presented on those images.

edit the ring by doing a little surgery and making the ring physically complete itself, but there wont be LEDs in that top portion, not that that's a bad thing, as getting the headlights to feel more aggressive is my goal!... I'm 100% sure I can make it so it's perfect, but you will see the lights have the top cut out a bit.

hence why I have decided that for this car, the job should include these inner eyelids so that it makes perfect sense.

Here's some more images of my buddy's ride with the treatment in place.

Amber Delete, Angels, and the eyelid treatment in different options. keep in mind that the eyelid treatment will be behind the headlight lens, making it at least 15 to 20% more subtle than these Pshops... its too difficult to get it 100% dead on visually.

It's like putting rhinestones on an Armani suit... a bumper sticker on a Lambo... a garden gnome in front of your house... please don't...

otherside · 02-25-2009, 04:28 PM

purists that dont mod their cars will reject any modification, this is not for those types of people... a lot pf people enjoy individualizing their BMWs, I for one am definitely one of those...

I respect the purity of a stock car but I also respect people who take it to another level of expression and exercise their creativity into their rides.

looking for constructive criticism

+1 .

I for one would like to do this, depending on the pricing. What's the estimated turn around time from 95131 to you.

Well said. No disrespect intended.

I'd like to see the black eyelid with amber delete. thanks!

HighQ · 02-28-2009, 07:05 PM

The more I look at it the more I like the design, but I think it can be improved further.

ptack · 03-01-2009, 11:27 AM

I don't mind the gray eyelids and the plain gray wheels, but just say no to the vinyl on the roof.

1ForAll · 03-04-2009, 05:50 PM

Guys, Otherside and I should have real pics of these on my car in the coming weeks as well as some other goodies...

Sorry I keep staring at the guy driving it's throwing me off- he looks angry.

He's mad all right! He came out of the Starbucks and someone had affixed magic tape all over his headlights!

What dicks!

otherside,
would you mind photoshoping a Vorsteiner lip on this pic you made:

DTR · 03-13-2009, 04:11 PM

the silver gets my vote... it sits better with the white

slog · 03-14-2009, 12:27 AM

I want these sooo bad. Hope someone actually makes these

wmj73 · 03-14-2009, 03:14 AM
