Thanks guys,

Ordered some C5 lights today. Should be here Wednesday, then I'll start measuring and scheming. After Christmas I'll sculpt one, see how it looks and take it from there.
If 2 or 3 people want one I'll just send you a modified stock panel. If there's more, it'll be less work to make a mold and pop out a few new fiberglass pieces.
Sound good?

All hail Whistler!
What you are doing is awsome. It seems that finally someone has stepped up to make so truely original pieces for our fbodies.
Can't wait to see this spoiler you mention. So far i have been through three wings and have yet to find one i like. Got any secret spy photos?
The C5 tailights would be awsome and so would a targa top kit. Good luck and keep us informed on your develpopements!

Put me on the list of people interested in the C-5 rear with euro tailights, it looks awesome, i would be interested in buying the panel empty, as i can get the tailights. But a whole replacement panel would be sweet, and hopefully cheaper than the whole Japanese tailight swap. I think this would look just as cool.
No spoiler pics until I finish one.
Anybody tries sneeking into the shop for a spy shot like the motor trend papparazi will be shot on sight!!
I've just got it carved out of styrofoam right now, next I cover it in plastic filler, file it until it's perfect, block and primer it about 4 times, then cast a mold off it.
But it's sleek and more designed to compliment the existing lines on the car, not redesign it, so if you're wanting -big look at me- spoiler, take your *** to RK Sport.
This and the C5 light panel will recommence after Christmas- I'll post when I know something new.

There is alot more room to work on a TA. And by the sounds of what you guys are talking about, it would be a lot easier too. I'm just saying it would be an easier mold to make. But I don't think it would look all that great because it would be too rounded. Plus, there is that humungus bumper sticking out.
I'm really interested!! A new spoiler would be nice, and the SS spoiler just... well... is SS - and RKSport is pretty rediculous.
Go Whistler!
Oh, and I won an ebay auction with a SS hood and a pair of brake vents from a early 90's toyota MR2 - (examples: )
