Angel eyes are purely a BMW feature... leave it be.

The only thing I personally despise about the 3 series, and most BMW's for that matter is the interior... I've always been very fond of the exterior styling on most bimmers and that includes the angel eyes.

On a side note... $91.51 seems a bit cheap. If I put anything on my car, it would have to be a high quality "imitation" not a cheap one.

I don't despise the bmw 3-series. I think they are great cars. regardless, I think the angel eyes look great on that black IS and I wouldn't mind having them on my IS350.

As Angel eyes belongs to BMWs, Vertical "Lambo" Doors should stick to the real Lamborghinis.

I would never put angel eyes on my IS350. That is just lame (IMO).

Although, I do love them--ON A BMW

No, you see, the angle eyes look good... the fart can exhasut does not look, sound nor perform well... There IS a difference.

I love the new 2IS's and I love the Lexus brand. I plan on sticking with them to the end. However I can never understand why people make it seem like if you have a Lexus you have to be completely against BMW. Alright there's nothing wrong with having pride in your car. But the battle between the Lexus 2IS and the BMW 3-series is between the dealers . It doesn't have to be between you and the guy who bought the BMW 330. Once you buy your car, its your car. If you want to debadge it, tint it, put a spoiler, put angel eyes on it thats all up to you. Its your car and you are allowed to make it look the best you can without being punished for copying something from another brand. Buying a Lexus doesn't mean you now have to "represent" Lexus like it's your country. You're not even an employee of the Lexus corp. You just simply bought something that they make. Plenty of us buy the 2IS then get a spoiler, bodykit, sound system from some other company other than Lexus because we feel it will enhace our car. So if another company someone comes out with Angel eye lights for the 2IS theres nothing wrong with getting them.
I honestly dont know if I will get the angel eyes but think about it...If you're driving down the road with your hooked up IS with angel eyes you can just imagine the conversation..

-What car is that?
-Looks like a 3 series
-Hold up, no its not, its the new Lexus IS?
-With angel eyes!? That car is sick!!!

I say, we do a bmw + lexus meet and play dogeball. Or, we just have e90 and 2IS meet so we can all be friends and not hate or love just one of the cars.
