So we can be different, even just a little bit, from all the other people who have the same "bad *** car."

Spell checker please :p

Well, the eyebrows is not a huge issue with me, but if you look at my pics, you can see how it just doesn't match the HID of the headlights. This is why I'm getting HID fogs. If we could clear out the eyebrows and do like an led strip or some other solution, I think it would look much better. If you have stock halogen or maybe 6000k, it might not be as bad. I've nearly got my external mods locked down, so moving on to lighting as the next step. When more performance mods come out, I'll look inside the car, but there isn't much out there. Also, performance tuning isn't really a DIY type mod, so conversations would basically come to "Go here to buy that" liners. Part of the fun for enthusiast and hobbyist is to work on something yourself. That's why mods like this are excellent because it's something we amateurs can talk and possibly do.

Here's a very crude and poor Photoshop.
Looks like the rear lights of a 5-series kinda.

I've always been a huge fan of those tail lights. They look awesome at night.

Some crazy person got them to work for the W203.



Umnitza has an offer, if you make a DIY for a car they don't currently support, they'll reimburse you 1/2 the price of the kit.

Hmf it doesn't look that great, IMO.
I'm not a fan of the tri-tone paint either.

I think the angel eyes looks good on any car. Even the W203 right there.

I'd be interested, depending on price, reliability, ease of installation, etc.

Install doesn't look that easy. I quickly read some instructions and it talked about opening up the headlights by breaking some seal with a heat gun, getting the rings in place and then baking them in the oven at 200F for 20 minutes. At first I thought it was a joke...

Sure thing, micropower... but nothing nice is easy!

But yes, I dunno how I feel about "baking" my headlights. What if keep them in too long and they get overdone? They'll be too tough to eat.

This picture looks EVIL. How about something like this, except without the fancy curves. Straight across might look more...... masculine?
