Haven't ever seen a set I particularly like. I'd say just tint the (orange) indicator lense red.

I think you're right, I seem to remember someone in the UK being on here before that made his own kits. Dont know if he was gay though............

there are ( were ) 2 cars in the club with carbon rear lights AFAIK
Aidan's car and Ftolam13's car.

I think Aidan had up his lights for sale on ebay before he sold his GPX .

This car still has them on

That picture with the yellow strip was taken while he was still working on it.
This is the finished article.

Agreed though, it'd be nice to see them switched on.

yes very tasty work with the paint.yellow gone would be best and wonder how long the paint would hold up.u would almost have to laquer the whole lamp to stop pealing.but its a real option as there is not much out their.

Its actually quite nice, and definately unique. Much better than a lot of other options I've seen out there.

Agree they're nice but hardly unique - its an Aston Martin copy of their rear lenses. You need to thread carefully when it comes to trying to make your car look like something its not.

Does look like top quality work though and the FTO does already have a mini AM look to it.

Theres kits like this for the Zed too but I'd never go there -

Well when I mean unique I mean on an FTO, I knew they were a copy of the Aston lights. They are extremely well done though.

That kit does not suit the Zed at all! Am I seeing an Aston badge on the front of it too??

Ah ya - I knew you'd see the AM connection MJ - just pointing it out to a wider audience.

Yep - thats an AM badge on a Zed. WFT like! - its a Jap sports car - making it look like an AM is almost as bad as those MR2/Ferrari wannabe's.

Covers are not for me either,and that covers doesnt fit the car perfectly,the few ones i saw installed always had like a space between the cover and the body in some spots.
Just wanted to offer options hehe
For me i was thinking about tinting them black,but here in Japan is illegal,so..... :cry: if you people can i think that looks badass :D
