Default "ANGRY EYES" not ''Sleepy eye' mod!!!!

I am prepared for the mixed bag of reviews.... I can take it.

I was inspired by the angry hoods on the E46 M3's...

All you need is heavy duty black 'decal material' and a good heat gun.... VERY difficult to mold around the top of the 'eyes.' Just be patient, lightly warm and stretch the material.
I lined up one large piece across both eyes so that they look even from lens to lens, then cut the large piece down the middle between the two.

I tried to make mine look angry, but they came out angry/sleepy. Same boeser Blick inspiration though.



Took mine off a while ago.

It's German for "angry look." Germans have been using it since the early 1990's or possibly earlier. "Tief und Breit" (lowered and wide) is another common term for what we've recently coined as "stanced" here in the States.

Gibt es eigentlich ein paar Mitglieder hier im Forum aus Deutschland? Habe bisher noch niemand aus dem Vaterland gesehen. Wenn je, dann willkommen und post dochmal!

I too am feeling it! Looks great.

Jeremy, I definetly dig yours as well, too bad you removed them. But then again I really really dig your car anyways!

So my vote for both vehicles 4 thumbs up (2 each)!

I have an HTC HD2 phone, with which I took that particular photo. It is the same camera as the EVO described here:

YouTube - iPhone4 vs HTC Evo

I have mentally equated Apple to BMW over time, and while I find both attractive from an industrial design and performance perspective, I dislike both brands.

What is the bulb type for the egg yolk removal? I assume it's a reflective-coated amber bulb, correct? 1157?

The headlight trims look very nice on your car. I think I need them. Where did you buy them?

Pic as promised. I swapped the left and right eyelid to produce more anger than the previous iteration.



I would say mine is "somewhat angry and in deep thought, but not sleepy" now.
