Aren't they just standard lights with the indicator de-oranged?

A good effort I think- the first true Lexus'd up rear Puma lights I've seen.

Shame about the bodykit skirts, they look like concrete battlements and clash with the curvy bits mellow.gif

Hahaha, what a piece of crap. laugh.gif
Get rid of the chrome paint in the rear lights and they would be ok though, they must have taken ages to do! ohmy.gif

Admitedly that body kit does look rather poo, but, those tail lights... Mmm, an idea for #0062 methinks...

...but TRUE Lexus lights should have a chromed finish.

I agree with you all that the Puma is ruined but I still think the lights look nicely done.

J...you need to track down what kind of paint gives that very convincing chrome effect. I've now seen several show cars using this paint on the bodywork, like this one:

An FRP done like this would be a totally amazing showcar IMO cool.gif

Mmm... I've actually got two tins of "chrome" Plastikote paint in work...Might have a go at liberating one of them and having a go on some test parts..see what gives.

If you look through various car mags, there are Lexus clone rear clusters for every car and his dog, bar the Puma mad.gif

I've already experimented with the plasticote stuff- it's just a very bright silver and the finish scratches very easily (it's very soft). And you can't really lacquer it because it dulls the finish unsure.gif

Well... there's virtually no chance of scratching it, given it lives behind a polycarbonate cover wink.gif
