Looking at those, they seem to have a single bulb. Does this mean that they are indicators only or running lights only? I suppose I should probably flick a question towards the ebay guy...

*Edit* Nevermind. Got lazy again and just bought them instead...

Let us know how they turn out, I'm super keen for these in the future, one of my turn signals has a crack in it!

^ I love that white NA :D! I've seen it around so much, it's rad as hell.

I bought a pair of the clear version last year and yes they only take a single bulb. I popped in a white bulb instead of the amber one the supplied and just wired my park lights to my side/ front reflectors instead.
Love em!

Yeah that coupe/fastback hardtop is awesome! I want to make one now.
Just have to figure out how to make the boot work properly.
It could also be made to contribute to the torsional rigidity as well.
Dya reckon you would need a LVVT cert for a mod like that? Esp. if you made it removable.

Another thing, if it totally replaced the bootlid, youd have way more space in the back.
Probably better aerodynamics too.

Garage Vary

Post by Angreal » Sat Oct 06, 2012 3:26 pm

Found a picture of what I assume is a Garage Vary hardtop as it came with my garage vary pieces of plastic material stuff things...

More importantly, this Garage Vary Hardtop is SEEEEEEXXXXYYYYY (I assume it isn't a fastback as it looks to be a bit more solid looking). I want

These guys make a fibreglass kit. It would make an awsome race car!

The fastbacks don't add much rigidity as they are fibreglass pieces, they are very light but flimsy when not on the car if you want rigidity your better off with a rollcage
Fastbacks are mostly for aero and the bad ass factor

They make the bootlids push in then pull up to avoid the GT wing most of them use, at least thats how the autokonexion one works
