Why Can't we have nice looking...

aftermarket head lights and tail lights??

who's the bonehead who decided we should only get single agel eyes and not double ones like they offer on most other imports?

why are ALL the altezza tail lights (coupe) so ugly? If they arent nasty chrome or fake carbon fiber- theyre full of ugly retro-circle and donut lights. ahhh, if only someone would put up some nice cheap 04' coupe lights on ebay...

when will the day come when we don't have to worry about fitment or leaking problems, or poor lighting from our aftermarket parts? It really sucks spending all sorts of money on body kits and paint jobs and going through all the frustrations of installation just to find it looks like crap!

Maybe this hobby has taken its toll on my nerves. maybe I'll just stick to computers and guitars until I can afford a factory fresh bmw that doesnt need any mods in the first place!

They do make dual halos for our cars. I guess they just came out recently so not that many people know. Search for it. Some members have them.

Damnit, I accidentally deleted my post. Well I thought you were talking about dual projectors. But you meant dual halos. Those dont look all that good IMO.

I think it's because all Altezza-style lights are ugly rip-offs of the original. Our factory lights are nice.
