I was recently rear-ended (bumper will need respray) I may just have a 2010 bumper sprayed vs. my 2009 bumper.

Unfortunately he's pulled the plug on the project...sorry to have got everyone's and my hopes up.

I'll try and see if I can find someone in Dubai to do the project as a lot of modded cars are running around with modified lenses containing LED's.

Jet, why did he pull the plug if you don't mind us asking? Complexity, cost, "it's not an NSX", etc?

His career is asking a lot of him and he feels there won't be enough time to tinker with the project.

I found a local shop who was interested but once I sent him picts of 997 housing, he thought the project would be too expensive given the curvature of the lens?!?

I am interested in these (if developed and not too $$$) as well. Front 997.1 leds would be nice too!
