Thinking of this conversion

Im not saying I want to do this, I just thought of it a few days ago when I was driving home.

The new 7 Series...if you've seen it you'll know that the the tail-lights slightly resemble that of a civic. I think it would be pretty cool to a 7 series conversion on a Vic, it would definitely be original.

to someone who tries it.

After studying the 7 series picture more, Ive realized that the tail lights extend farther into the body towards the hood than ours do. It could still be done though IMO....

I meant the shape of the housings from a rear view. The almost triangular slant that they have.

I dunno, I think it would be one hell of a swap.

The back tailights on the new 7 series is the ONE thing I dont like on it. The middle lights above the licence plate are just FUGLY.

I've seen them in person and still am of the opinion that it would look better without them. Hassoomi's picture of it makes the whole car look awful. I think the car is an AMAZING machine, but not a fan of the lights. Not too sure of that i-Drive either. Heard mixed reviews on it. I personally like a center console shifter.

i've been seening many 7-series driving around (this town run off of rich bastards on retirement) and i actually like that line in the back, it gives a mystic look...

You know what would be better?
A 7th gen tail light conversion on a 7 series!
lol

Man, ugly rear lights or not, I'd take one in a heartbeat. I sat in one a while back at a dealer car show and my friends couldn't get me out of it.

I wouldn't change my stock tails. Horseshoe tails OwN.
And i think someone is better off trying to put focus tails in a vic rather then the 7 series tails. But, who would want anything off a focus:barf:
