I think it'd look pretty good actually, you'd have to use that red tint spray, just just paint them. Might not be exactly legal either, but would probably look pretty good, definitly something i haven't seen before.

I want to get the IS300 trunk lights the round ones and mold those in for backup lights...only get the clear ones they make. But I am worried they will be too big....i think they are..

if you were going to mold them in, why would it matter how big they are?

I don't know, maybe convert the inner rear light to white; that'll be the reverse light. Then have the former reverse lights as on/off turn signals, the mid piece of the turn signals rigged to go with the stop light, and the outer rear lights go on when the headlights are on.

I just wanted to shave them altogether, move them to left and right of license plate (like a blitz kit)

Also wanted to shave that grooving right in the lower-middle... (again to emulate blitz) But that seems like it'd take more artistry as it's kind of on a bend...

if you're toying aroudn with moving them or remolding things, why don't you move the lexus lights or the mitsu lights up to where the center tail light is, and use the stock reverse lights for blinkers...

only have like 2 min, so no photoshop, but what i'm sayin is this:

TAIL LIGHT SECTION:
Right brake light|center piece|Left brake light

to

Right brake light|reverse light reverse light|Left brake light
