LOL. I took vote locally and 95% went for 'leave them as they are'. And since that's the way I like them ... that's it. Seriously, the photos don't do justice to the real thing.
They might look better in JPCarbon's Carbon Fiber though!
Thank you though.

Very nice! Where did they mount your ballasts for the HIDs? I've bought the headlight assembly, but I'm still searching for an HID kit that I like so I want to see where's the optimal placement for the ballasts.

I stayed with 5800 lumen halogen. However, they do sell and mount a HID kit. Email rui@marsperformance.com.au and ask him for a picture.

I see. Can you show us a night pic with the beam pattern and how well these projectors light up?

Cool Smoked LED sidelights

These smoked LED sidelights from Bimmian.com sure are the ticket. Great company to deal with ... even from another continent.

Cool Ceiling-mounted sunglasses holder

I have now taken care of where to put my prescription sunglasses in this ceiling-mounted holder. Worked a treat for me, but wouldn't suit big wraparound glasses.
