After reading the posts asking for changing the shape of the rear lights I decided to give it a try. I think now it is looking like a face-lifeted old 5-series, but IMHO I think it looks better this way
. I've also revised the trunk line, so tell me what you think of the new design.

[/quote]Hey, those tail lights look good!! If its too small for the car, you can enlarge it, but that shapes looks a lot better than the original. Nice job. Do I make the $1000 check payable to Sheb Bangle?

[/quote]In our humble design center located in Microsoft Paint, we accept credit cards and checks. The price is $1000 per tail light, so if you want the trunk and bumper revised, along with both tail lights, you should pay $2000
