Angel Eye Copy Cats

I can see why it would bother you. However, that Camaro looks sweet and with the aftermarket as popular as it is, it was only a matter of time. AEs don't define the BMW look. They are a distinct feature that complete the look. It's really the combination of the lines, AEs, kidney grill, fogs and front end in general. That's the differentiator. No Civic is going to look as sweet no matter how bright or what color his halos are.

I saw a Dodge Magnum with AE's the other day.
I am surprised Lexus hasn't copied the Angel Eyes. Since they copy every other BMW and Mercedes.

LEDs, AE, eyebrows, clocks...these are all just design elements that make up the overall product copying the design elements doesn't make the product any better. Last night I was at a restaurant and out the corner of my eye caught the amber glow of an eyebrow and the partial curve of an AE I knew right away what it was. If you look at any of these 'copies' you are not going to mistake them for a BMW.

I dont think copied AE's look too bad, especially the pics posted by the OP! .... I feel sorry for the Audi drivers! It seems everyone is putting the LED strips under their headlamps nowadays imitating the R8!
