I have always liked Atomic's car. A perfect combo, the blue with yellow brakes and the GT wheels. Beautiful... but now even better! Really great change of pace from the black/grey/silver TT world.

Parts for 07-08:
Taillights - $400 each
Front and rear control modules - $350 each

Make it work:
1. Cut a little bit of plastic tabbing from the LED taillights to work with the wiring harness
2. Install front and rear control modules to get option in the PIWIS to turn the LED mode on. Swap in the rear module the pins from #42 to 31.
3. Done, ready, no warning or flashing lights, big smile, enjoy your leds...
Don't forget the bumper bracket and the exhaust surrounds too. I doubt you'd be able to get the new exhaust tips to fit in the older exhaust surrounds. It's quite a bit bigger. But you could always give it a shot.

Thanks! Really...I had a bunch of car guys follow me today on the track and they thought my new taillights looked GREAT! Very visible on the track they said.

Yep, the lip fits perfectly. We were able to move everything over except for the ones mentioned earlier.

Car looks fantastic! I did the same thing with my C2S. The LED tails do freshen up the look of the car. Great work!
