I say just go all the way and finish what you started with a rear end conversion.

Thanks for all the compliments guys!!!

Also big thanks to X-Vert who helped me with a lot of the work and pushed me to do it (easier when it's not your car! lol)


Sorry guys, no DIY. I was working most of the time when the car was in the shop, so I don't have step by step photos or anything.


Definitely NO plans to do the rear conversion. That would take way too much work and is not worth it I think. My rear doesn't look bad at all.


Also, I'm not done with my tail lights. Doing something unique aswell. Don't want trunk spoiler, I like the clean look. I might consider a roof spoiler later, we'll see.

Maybe we can put up a collection from all of us G enthusiasts to help you do the rear conversion.

I'll put up the cash equivalent of 2 lap dances.

I was thinking just some coupe style tails where the tail is all 1 piece, instead of 2 pieces. SECKSAY!

sedan is lighter, shorter front doors make entry/egress easier in a garage or in b/t cars in a parking lot.
