If you are still looking for inspirations on taillights, maybe do a variation of S5 tails with LED rings (a la sexy knights FC) also with a MKIV supra style clear lense display

I like the rear design! Kinda looks Aston-Martin'ish, and there's nothing wrong with that

Iv already done several trials of S5 style tails and concluded that they done work well, which is why i decided to go with S4 because bars lights work better when flowing with a more square edge of the body line.

If i do go circle lights i have to extend the rear panel which im trying to avoid because the design should be simplistic enough to do away with expecting certain costs in modifications.

the taillights you drew might be alittle hard to make but so worth every second and penny.

1st of all let me say the concept version of your widebody vert idea, is excelleeennt. Perhaps, if you make a sellable kit out it, I'll line up to be one of the first buyers. My widebody kit was basically a knock off of a GP KIT with some personal added creativity to the sideskirts, so I could be a little bit different than the others. Here's some picts, if you like them, see some more, under "introduce yourself" posts, under (rxvert always in progres.)

Never really been a fan of l.e.d.less modernized s5s.

Francogti arrow is clever.

How do you remove the lights in that blue/grey widebody.

Clear s5s look really good.

The s4s look good for a cutoff tool and cafeteria flourescent tube shields.

Truck trailer lights in cars are one of my biggest botherers.

Your vert looks good, man.

The stock gpsport side skirt molding location really works.

Nice work.

Sorry I missed the second page my bad. I would so buy this kit. If you do ever make it and decide you want to share this beautiful thing with the world please please please make the carbon lips and light inserts to go with it. Question. Do the dimensions allow the doors to be opened?? That rear side scoop looks pretty meat

The design has been sitting on the back burner for awhile. I have been meaning to finish up the design in CAD, and share with everyone the other renderings. But school, work and my girlfriend takes up a good portion of my time, so its difficult to come back to it.

Hey everyone just wanted to share some small work and changes done to the kit, also added the rear view getting closer to the finalization.

I threw out the FC2000 model and went for a bumper and more aggressive lights made from scratch, Let me know what you think of the changes.
