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.
The pic below is the Bangle rear light with Shebs trunck and bumper line.
Time to go to the workshop and use the lathe and milling machine on my car

[/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?
Is that just design cost or does it include labor, material, and shipping?

[/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
. And that is a special price for E60 forums users . If I just had the appropriate machining and forming tools
.
