Wow, Rampant... i should give you pictures of the new-construction house im trying to buy and have u photoshop the cabinet colors, floor, and counter top so i can make up my mind. lol

great work!

I hvnt had any experience with overlays, but anyone who has... i wonder if it would be possible to combine Rampant's Rattle Snake eyelids with the smoked GTR style tail light overlays.
Hmmm... wonder how that would even look. In my head it looks amazing, but there would be some overlap on the vinyl prolly.

Don't laugh, I am putting the finishing touches on software that could actually be used for that purpose. It isn't yet, but it could be.....

All they do is make the read taillights look like they have $150 lids stuck on them. It ain't easy being cheesy.

I think the integrated spoiler in the p.s. sticks out too much, kinda like a 6-series, other than that it looks pretty.

The body color eyelids give a different enough look than either larger taillight look or narrower simply by original body design. It is also substantially different than overlays which look more like masks. I've seen eyelids used in headlights before, but can't recall them being used in taillights, I wonder if Rampant has started a trend.

The permanent eyelid look used in some BMW headlights give almost a droopy look (i.e. can't lift sleepy eyes) whereas the eyelid addition (separate from body) give more an impression of "focus with intent".

As with any mod, it's not for everyone, but it gives a nice option to those who like to be a little different without being too ricey, it's almost discrete unless you look for it. The double exhaust tips complements, kinda like snake fangs lol.

I wonder how a set can be made? Body color is best but it is possible to use vinyl overlays to create the look; however, it may end up looking like mascara though. Body color may require swapping out the lense which many won't consider unless it's of high quality. I hope someone has talent to mockup a pair, it would be good to see the look in more angles, distances, colors, lights on, etc. I think it's gonna look mean with taillights on.

As an aftermarket opportunity, I think it's there.
Rampant Snake EyEs trademark! I give Kazaam35x credit for the name.

EDIT: Btw, not to take all the attention away from the rear bumper, that is nice work too.
