    Default Rear LI Placement Suggestions



    I marked in red and blue where I think they can go. What do you guys think?

    I think those tail light assemblies are deadly, and that you should open them up and black them out. Otherwise, they're going to be practically impossible to protect.

    A nice coating of Veil would do too, wouldn't it?

    It would certainly help. But that's a lot of chrome reflecting off-axis, which is hard to protect. And it's ghetto fugly on that black car too. It'd be safer to black it out and Veil it too.

    I wonder if the LEO'S paid Nissan to put in tail lights like that. He definitely needs black out and Veil.

    Not quite as bad, but definitely the same boat. Those "Euro style" tail light assemblies are bad news. The rear end is hard enough to protect as it is. All that chrome on the outer edge of the car, far away from the heads, is a laser magnet.

    So assuming the tailights get addressed, would you put the heads over the license plate or out towards the tail-lights?

    In the red or under the outer ends of the spoiler (on the Nissan, that is, not the Lexus).

    You would be ok with just a dual.

    You don't have it near as bad as him or me. I would a LIHP.
