Default Custom blinkers?

I have always hated the rear turn signals. They draw to much attention and conflict with the flow of the car. I was wondering if it was possible to have my turn signal trigger from inside the rear tail lights. That way I could just have those nasty crevasses filled. I found this picture on google and was immediately drawn to it. Look how smooth and clean that looks. btw searched and didn't find anything on this topic.

^^You sure thats an aftermarket bumper? Looks like the stock one with c20 or cwest add ons, can't exactly recall which add ons they are.

personally I like the rear turn signals, that pics looks good, but also looks like something is missing and looks too bare.

Meh, I see why you and people may like it, but personally it makes the *** look even bigger and more empty. Unless you incorporated a unique turn signal of your own to accent the flow of the rear bumper better than OEM.

But hey - to each their own and while I am not a fan, I definitely don't hate it either!

I'm undecided. I guess I am so used to seeing the turn signals there.

I'm leaning towards liking it solely based on being different and the fact that you put the work into it to be unique.

So if you do as the picture above, what do you do about reverse lamps?

Function>Form, all day everyday

Edit: Come to think of it you wouldn't pass inspection in most states without a reverse lamp of some sort.

I think no lights makes the rear bumper look bigger than it already is.
