no its not a CP wide body kit is a Mariah Motorsports "Pacifica" body kit which is out of production

I was up at the shop when they began development of the light kit, and I gotta say I wasn't a big fan of it at the time. I finda like the pop-ups, and I'm not generally a fan of flush-light conversions.

That said, they did a good job engineering the kit, and I have to admit it looks DAMN sweet on your car...

Of course I have other plans for my lights...
