Default rear tail lights

Notice how the rear bumper covers the lower half of the tail lights.. I guess those new lights on the bottom of the bumper are where you re-wire your turn signals to.

I saw this one on the other thread, and I thought it looked great, so I did some research.

This kit, from what I read on some Japanese forums, is a custom one-off job. The creator mentioned that it will slightly cover the lower section of the headlights (about 1cm), and partially the high beams as well (angled). He also did an LED-conversion on the taillights.

Again from what I've read, he has no plans to mass-produce the kit, though he seems to be hinting at perhaps making a few kits for some people if the demand is high enough. He's been asking people what price range would be acceptible and such...People have asked him if he'd make/sell just the front bumper, but he only wants to sell the whole kit.

That's about all it said, sadly.

BTW- I bet its a pain in the *** to pull the headlights or tail lights with this set up- you have to take off the rear or front bumper just to remove a light!!!
