im my area it appears that the guys who do this kind of stuff (ody kits, 12 bore exhausts 20 inch alloys)are trying to make up for their car haveing a smaller willie than other cars with bigger engines, but they tend to grow out of it once they are older and thisr balls drop so to speak, so they can afford a 2.0L.
personally i done like these lights, some of the "lexus" look ok on certain cars not all, hell on one car i like them but on another i doen, its the total package that i look at, like eg, i like the way the black lexus look on the ph2's with the black head lights, the matching asthetically where as on the newer ones with grey the look gash the same with putting these they only look ok on black cars the red look better but thats me, on any other colour of car they'd look abit alien as they so not fit withany other mod.
but they go with your car as the chrom trim match the silver strips. but i'm not a fan of the cup stripes either generially, but i like them of they are "viper/shelby" style stripeage.
its all about PERSONAL taste, like your partner, you might and some people might think she is smoking but others might think she is a munter. but if you like them thats all that really matters.
