Curious - one of my AIB v2.0s has decided to return to where angels roam. I was looking to maybe pickup a replacement, but their website has been sold/removed. I'll check out other options, but was curious why AIB as a business has apparently failed.

My Ride: BMW E60

Model Year: 2016

Don't know if they're still around... but as a product, they were expensive and rather unsatisfying. I can kind of see why that business strategy couldn't sustain over the initial margin from people that didn't really have a choice when it came to aftermarket angel eyes back when.
