yea it will look great...but there's plenty of crap you can do to your car to make it look great but you shouldn't do it.

somethings are special to certain brands.

What do you mean by "got away with"? I'd make just as much fun of 1st gen owners with those.

Why would we want to turn our Lexus into a BMW look-alike?

We need to have a unique lexus "Angle Eye" type design.





P.S.

This looks like an original BMW (which i think it is), with the LEXUS Grill... LOL

the 2nd one looks hot

First thought is angel eyes look good on the IS; however, why not originate a distiguishing IS characteristic, rather than duplicate a BMW one? Just seems like ricer activity to me, i.e., every brand, especially aftermarket (Honda Civic), whether they should have or not has duplicated this one aspect of BMW's design.

I agree with the guy above... Angel eyes belongs to BMWs.

Imagine putting the M3 vent on the side fenders of the car, then having a M3 lip kit... then debadge it and have M350... yuck

Yes, it belongs on BMW's. However, there's no denying it looks good on the IS as evident in the pics posted. Would I want them on my IS? Maybe

Also as stated above, if every car in the future had M3 Vents, shark fins, or angel eyes, than should it be consider a copy of the BMW? Eventually makers will come out with similar things.

Call to TW and ask the shopkeeper and he said the price for the kit is $3000TWD and you could DIY at home... he said you will need to get the whole headlight set down and get everything apart to install the kit and the angle eye kit will connect to the parking light and the original parking should be goen... I don't know if I could do that without breaking the light set!! Hope the above information could help... I am also checking if I could get whole with the kit in HK.
