Visual Mods: add your opinion

So I'm thinking to myself, getting the MOTM nod was great, but... does this mean people think it's perfect the way it is? Could it get... better?

I have my own opinions, but I'm always interested in yours. A couple of us 3rd genners have been toying with projector mods, and like a few of us I'm sure, I've been eyeing the G35 coupe rims for a while.
*Note to GRNMAXDMON: I realize doing both the wheels and projectors will have us looking identical except body color lol, but if it looks good...

Anyway, what do you all think? Here's a few different combos. Which one is your preference? Use the poll to vote, or elaborate in a post below, or both.

#1: Current Look


#2: G35 Coupe Rims Only


#3: G35 Coupe Rims & E36 Projectors


#4: E36 Projectors with Current Rims

I've never been a fan of any of the bmw light mods done to these cars, imo the stock, or in your case stock looking lights look better, but all opinion.

Oh btw, dibs on your current rims if you upgrade to g35's

current rims w/ FX35 or similar combined high/low projector set into the very back of the euro housing like this guy did




but if you don't want to do that, then still go w/ the E36 projectors. i've never seen a good beam pattern coming out of the headlights you have on there right now...

I honestly like number 4 the best; the rims you have are perfect and the G35 rims look too big on the car in my opinion.

Current is best; u have to get another vehicle if this is not good enough...

nono the no3 setting where one lamp is projector, another is current non stock...

The E36/hood gap is smtg which gives shoddy feelin.

Your current lights would stop my trip, 500$ ticket, plates officially off... Real Nice looking BUT: how do u see at night? Do they blind oncoming blondies?

Keep current rims! Only change the headlights because the other ones have awful output...

if the G wheels are as dark as the current ones then yes, if they are the chrome/polished ones I normally see then skip them.
The headlights need a more custom projector IMO
