Default Why Did No One Ever Try To Redo Whistler's Rear C5 Light Mod? [PIC.S]

i remember seeing it a few years back and likeing it and recently stumbled back across it doing some research on the whistler mod for my brothers ss

why has no one ever tryed it do it again? or have they?

i think it would look great on a black ss with the rear smoothed out

post up your thoughts

Those pics were in process. That panel was never finished. There were a few huge threads on it years back and he still gets PMs from people wanting it...

Damn those are old pics I didn't like it either , it was only on the car for a week or so.
Plus there physically isn't room for the far right light.. it requires either sledgehammering the rear of the car, or cutting and welding in a patch for clearance.

Im sorry guys but I love it, I think finished it would be really slick. Imagine it body color, rear filled, and SLP CME. It would be nice!

At what point? I don't remember, really. Those pics are from early 2002. I didn't personally want it on my car, but there was a list of people wanting to buy one over a hundred and forty long.

I took it to a shop that builds fiberglass hoods to have it replicated, and they never did anything with it. I kept getting the "when the shop slows down" excuse, and I was in college and didn't have time to screw with it.
