Could be export, as the mirrors appear to be the same that I've seen on export cars before.

I've never seen the side skirts & rear fascia like that before tho, ..., or the taillights either, ...

The small rectangular red lights/reflectors are European issue. The attached thumbnail is from a European-spec 'Bird. The '97 model year was the last 'bird to be exported.

It looks ok but I wouldn't do that to my car. I would think the exhaust would melt the rear facia.

Hi, these are not original Euro bumpers , these are heavy modified . You can see that the wing is the small one and the mirrors are different also the taillights seems to have orange colored turn signals (orange) in Europe . It looks like some kind of bodykit on this car.

I recall seeing a European limited run that flopped on Cardomain.com. It had 4 small, round tail lights and only like 3 to 6 were made. Might have been Germany-based. I guess this is completely different.

The person who owned it said they made some there to test the market, and it didn't work out so they cancelled production. I'll try to find it later when I get off work. Was pretty interesting, but not to my tastes.
