Exclamation Chromed Eyebrows... U Like?

So, i got the Chromed Eyebrows (do not confuse with eyelids). My car is Alpine White, and i beleive it looks stunning with them on! it feels ... finished with them. It completes the hood because it is perfectly coordinated with the kidney grill. It also defies the power hump in my car alot better.

I ordered the chrome grill so when i get those on, ill re-post the pictures. after that, ill get the chrome venting strips. PLEASE let me know if you like it. if you are interested in purchasing them, contact me via e-mail @ kiemyster@gmail.com as i will refer you to the person i bought them from, ill get it to you at the cheapest price (around 25$)

This has to be the cheapest, yet most effective add on for my car. (if you would like more pics, let me know, ill get em in ASAP.)

Okay, I'll be the devil's advocate. All these cosmetic add-ons will get different reactions from different people, because we all have our individual tastes.

Personally, it looks a little out of place, because

- as an eyebrow, it only goes over half of the eye.

- from an art design perspective, I feel the chrome atop the kidney grilles accentuate BMW's enduring symbol. Placing similar chrome on the sides above the headlights detracts from this.

I hope you don't take this the wrong way. I'm not hating on your car; just giving an opinion, and it does NOT look awful.

im sorry sir, i don't like it that much... i think if people are going to do brows they should put it on the headlights. some brows look better than others... but thats all preference

Not bad, as they continue the shape of the headlights. But I'll keep mine stock. It doesn't need more dressing up.

Bling blang!

No thanks, though. Stock looks way more aggressive. This just looks... Cheap.

Sorry.

yeah me neither.

1) i'm not a big fan of eyebrows on cars. it seems to cheapen the look of the vehicle, imho.
2) i hate too much chrome on cars...and particularly dislike the two hood/bonnet strips of chrome. adding two more in the form of eyebrows is the opposite direction i'd take it.

if you have to get them...could you maybe try having them paint matched? that might look better.

yea im actually shocked at the results! i personally like it, but i see where you guys are coming from. yeah. some jackass kicked my car with Timberland Boots on (i assume). Jealousy kills.

Personal opinions will vary. everyone here in Trinidad likes it, with the exception of the BMW Haters. i guess i only pull it off because of the euro headlights huh? lol

What's the point? I'm with Frogman on this one. It doesn't look awful, but it does look out of place.
