Lower bumper LED strip ala Pininfarina?

So I've taken a liking to the Pininfarina's lower bumper LED strips.



What does the Z4 community think about making this mod to our cars? The existing plastic piece pulls out fairly easy from the Z4 bumper. Just need to find appropriately-sized LED light strip, and hook in the electrical wiring...

Someone on this forum did that a while back. There is a thread with some pics. It may ave been z4phuket, if I got the name right. It's not for me, but he did a nice job.

BMWs are identified by their angel eyes. Let's leave these types of LEDs to Audi Merc and Porsche.

The halos is the signature feature of a BMW. You already have that as DRL. I think adding the light strip would look tacky personally.

Signature feature or not, I actually recently disabled my AE because I am embarrassed of the dimly lit circa 2000 halogens.

there's a solution for that, as you may well know. Many options to choose from

Yeah, I was looking at the Lux V4s that just came out. Trying to wait it out to see if I can pick up a totaled LCI and grab the headlights though. I'm a hopeful.

I can see you standing on the side of the road, greedily rubbing your hands in anticipation of an accident.
