Is there anyone in the USA seliing a rear light conversion similar to 2003=2004 Esprit V8 ? Is this conversion available in UK vendor only?
It will be nice if its a carbon fiber too...

Do you think that guy who did the GT1 conversion has the kit?

There out there but quite expensive. I've been on the lookout for sometime for a used one. Carbon would be cool!

A reasonable option is sj sportscars in the UK.

It was pricey. I paid $1800 but that included paint, installation, and wiring for the LED lights. They also filled the V8 indentation.

I went with the OEM pannel. It has one less body line between the bumper and the pannel itself

BOTH ARE NICE !!
i HAVE A yellow esprit -- I like the idea of different color -- say black instead of yellow, what do you think?

I think a black panel on a yellow car would like very nice and HEY those are my Elise lights!

I seen a picture of a grey car with the pannel painted black it looked ok.

This is my opinion only but I think a black panel or carbon fiber panel would look wierd especially on a yellow Esprit. I would keep it the same color but what the hell do I know and it's not my car. :facepalm

On another note, do you have spacers on your car? The wheels come out flush and nice! Mine are tucked in a bit or maybe it's the angle of the pic?

Thanks,

Maybe it's just me. Your's seem to fit nicer than mine. Maybe my head is crooked.

 

[G8nightman]

maybe the brake upgrade pushed the wheel out a bit but i dont think so.
