well the internal led units are custom made and mounted inside the tails...

it's not really something i was planning on selling as a kit. if i were to sell these (though i can't say if am am since i am not a vendor ), they would be as a send-out conversion (you send me the lights, i do them and send them back).

that way i know that if there is a problem with anything its my fault and not the person installing them (since i might not be able to warranty any problems if someone else does the install...)

keep an eye out for a group buy thread in the near future if you are interested.

And I will be your first customer right? Of course, that's in theory as you are not currently a vendor...

Yes we all know you want to be the first to have the conversion. To be honest, you need it captain lol.... You did all that work and didn't bother converting to 99 spec tails along the way

Just wasn't ever convinced they modernized the car much so I didn't do it. It wasn't a matter of not bothering, just aesthetics. Now, the LEDs with the 99 spec lights are different and add the modern touch I have been looking for so they need to be on the car

OK if that's the way you guys want it, i was trying to be fair but starting next year everyone entering the car show better come with it cause everyone will go head to head

Beautiful car, love the photo shoot! Punished did a great job! Found the LED lights grew on me, pretty cool! any plans to find ones that are spaced out a little more in the future like the Audi ones? And yeah if the tails do end up being offered, they would be a perfect upgrade!

Thanks for the compliments. My body guy says he can retrofit the Audi style (spaced out and bigger) LEDs in the turn signals and I am going to see him on Monday about this so you just might see that done soon

BEAUTIFUL!
David-I know this is kinda trivial with all the work you put into this rolling masterpiece (especially the engine bay), but would you happen to remember what tint you used on your windows? Thanks, Bill.

I don't know what this says about me, but yes, I do have that info:

Front: LLumar ATR30
Back: LLUMAR ATR15

The stuff is now 9 years old so I'd say it's pretty good film.
