WTF angel eyes on non-bmw

Sorry if anyone takes offense to this. I really do not understand why on earth people put the bmw trademark of angel eyes, on other cars. I mean putting angels on an e46 is okay, since it is still a bmw. But come on, you dont see me putting honda emblems on my car....

i don't see the problem with retrofitting things if you think they'll look nice. What you're saying would be similar to saying AWD only belongs to Subaru because their trademark is AWD.

sorry i cant help but laugh

AWD is not for looks, noone can tell by looking at the car. It is for handling purposes. Every company steals eachothere performance mods, however a trademark like angel eyes are not neccasary for DRL, and are the look of modern BMW

I saw a black, possibly murdered out Camaro with cathode looking angels in oncoming traffic yesterday. I was actually surprisingly pissed as I drove away because the angels looked like shit, both that style in general and especially on that car.

It's annoying to see them on pretty much any car other than a Bimmer, especially if the job is sloppy.

However, I have seen some respectable examples on some Audis...

Yeah, I've seen so many Hondas, Scions, and even some Lexus's with angel eyes. Personally, I would never do it because it's what BMW designed on their cars to distinguish themselves from the crowd. It screams rice and poser to me.

You should learn the facts before you try to take someone to school.

You only listed 2 types of BMW's. So what about the E39 M5s? E60 5'ers and M5s? M6s? E9x non 335i's?

"Demon eyes" are the red lights seen on some E46s.

BMW's have coronas AKA halos AKA angel eyes. No BMW comes with 'demon eyes' stock.
