More headlight mods, opinions needed
Hi folks,
I just visited a friend of mine who owns a shop that specializes in BMW lighting and aftermarket parts. When I asked him about the eyebrow and fog lights, those could be done easily, but he REALLY WANTS to put angel eyes on my car and paint the inside of the headlight assembly red to match the body color.
What do you think? Should I do the angel eyes? Should I paint the headlight assembly red or some other color?

Here is some Angel Eyes for C63 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/07-08-09-...ht_5935wt_1165 Not sure how they would look on the car though as it's more of a BMW thing

Alright, looks like I'm not doing either mod, just changing out the eyebrow and fog lamps to match the headlight color.
Thanks for the blunt opinions everyone.
Now, the amber blinkers on the quarter panels...should I paint those over in red or do something else?

I'd do something else, probably smoked. The look of the painted lenses has never appealed to me. They're just too visible even in body color, better to fine tune the "functional look." IMHO.

Umnitza does carry some great HID products though. Since they are local for me, I can just go to their store and pick up some HID's. They also warranty there products which I like.

I think the folks on the bmw forums will have a field day if they ever snap a pic of a C63 with angel eyes on the street.
agree with everyone above me... leave the angel eyes for BMWs

I've attempted the angel eye for my fogs just for giggles to see what it looks like. Basically I'd say no, it just doesn't work.
Although if you do end up doing it, throw on an e90 front bumper just to fully **** off the BMW crowd lol
more pics of this car can be found here for those interested: https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...ting-sd88.html
