on the right, (blinker delete) looks fine as designed that way from the beginning, along with wind tunnel proven swoops to make up for it

btw... good lord!! i would pay an extra 8-10k for that!!

If I had any photoshop skills at all to correctly test my theory, my personal preference would be to ditch the z tail/signal/reverse lights altogether and french in some c5 or c6 vette LED tails into the rear bumper. I think that might look cool.
Kinda like this:


I know the jdm and ricers boys will probably hate that simple look but I think it would look cool, especially frenched in w/ LEDs and smoked lenses. I am picturing it with a Stillen spoiler and some sort of skirt/diffuser -

Or do some horizontal multi-row LED design that looks hidden until they light up.

Guess I watched too much American Hotrod and Chop, Cut, Rebuild...

you can technically wire the regular tails to be the turn signals (like the FX's) you would just have to incorporate a reverse light....maybe do something like an LED strip on either side of the plate? to stay legal of course...

oh my... you just gave me a really good way of boosting my turn signals lumen output... double up on the LED tails and incoporate a reverse light on the license plate frame


thanks,

You are gonna have to rig up some kind of circuit to seperate the blinkers from the brake lights - otherwise the blinkers wont blink if the brakes are applied. It is not as simple as just splicing the blinker wires into the tail lights.

Default LEDs

Put halo rings of leds around the exhaust tips, for the reverse lights or signal lights
