I love the center section, just not sure if I like the left/right sections. Still badass overall though!! Really nice to see something diffrent!

I wonder how it'd look if you did the center section like yours, then had "Rx-7" light up on the right/left sections?!

Or maybe do the 99 lights, and had the center section light up "Rx-7."

Yes...and the general concensus was it looked awful. This isn't bad though. VERY original.


PS. Search 911GT2 for the rotor shape ones.

I have tried the Rota shaped lights and they look real *****, trust me.
I looked at the S7 three round shape and thought, hmmmm well thats boring.
So I just simply made up heaps of cardboard inserts with different cutout designs until I came up with this one that I was happy with.
I'm proud to say that my inspiration for this shape came from absolultey nothing what-so-ever

Here's a pic of the rotor shaped tail-lights. I don't think it looks that bad it, I just think its not worth doing.

It looks OK, but I think 99'spec looks a little better.. Full marks for originality though

As a matter of interest, I've often seen the 99' spec round lights referred to as Series 7 lights. They're not. Series 7's stopped production in '98, and had the same tails as Series 6's.

The round tail lights are S7. They just get constantly referred to as 99 spec so people started calling them that. Once again the circle tail lights were introduced in '96 not '99.
