over all i like the kit. they put allot of time into getting it just right. i wish it had the Fabulous rear though

It seems strange to me that they change the look of almost every part of the car drastically except the rear. I'm pretty picky about the rear kits and from what I've seen I only like a few of them. I think they had a good opportunity to add something really nice to the rear of the car but they left it stock. Seems slightly strange to me.

Here you go people, best close-up of those taillights. You can buy them without getting the whole kit.

I'm not a big fan of those lenses, they look too 1980's. I like the overall layout though, if I got those I'd get that black part painted blue to match my car.

The lights were added on to the site 2 days ago, they cost 719.00 GBP which is roughly about 1,463.00 USD. Here is the link.. http://trojan-sport.co.uk/store/prod...b331f042522090

I'm not sure if that price would be accurate. Duck's Garden is a Japanese company right? It would cost more to export them to the UK than to the US. I doubt it'd be 1400, but by the look of it they would still probably be way too expensive for most people.

only looks good from far, look at the ugly rectangular shape signal cover, like a cheap 80's design. dissapointment.

edit: with the kind of price, should make the black part carbon fiber.

I revoke my previous comment about liking the taillights. The clear klenses could have been better as others have mentioned

The taillights would be so much nicer if they were clear colored plastic (or glass?) with LEDs. For exmaple, the red portion should be a pair of lines of 3 to 5 mm LEDs, or one line of 8 - 10 mm LEDs...

Otherwise, it looks worse as you get closer...

Having seen the Kabura at SSX, I definitely see some similarities between them. It actually made me like this kit a little more.

Since the rear window appliqué didn't seem to line up I wondered what it wold look like body color. Sorry for the crappy image, I only have paint on this computer. It makes it look more like a sedan bc it looks thicker, but I think it looks less tacked on and more integrated

Hooray for thread revival! I like those taillights blue. It looks a lot better and I could possibly forget the cheap 80's lense covers.
