Are you sure that car even belongs in this forum? The Brabus I mean.

Interesting...!

Ok, so the start up cost looks to be the major challenge. But, I plan on making a working prototype and then offer a group buy (of course with approval of our Almighty AK

). If the GB works out and we get enough interest, I will go ahead with the plan and invest in proper molds, etc...

So to clarify, you will have a whole new set of tail light replacements for purchase? Or our modified stock tail lights?

I think it's great that you are tackling this. I hate that cars like Scion TC's have taillight housings that look better than ours...meaning there are black/smoked sections, not actual overall design.

I still can't believe we not have one option, being the JDM tails. I honestly contemplated getting them and having them professionally tinted lightly.

zefaulter · 03-09-2014, 12:41 PM

I understand that the low sales numbers in our car could be reason why no one else has invested in a new design. It just doesn't make too much sense to invest in something with zero to very low return

Riptide67 · 03-09-2014, 12:58 PM

Agreed, we eat so much of the R&D.
