I don't like the new narrow width of the rear of the car, and I wish there was room for amber turn signals. I will probably try to leave the original tail lights in place, to supplement the new tail lights.
Robert, good idea about the license plate, which is shown by the rectangle with the X through the middle.

Yes, the backup lights too. Almost forgot about those.

The reflective strips sounds good except for the adhesive. That stuff always seems to peel off after a while. Now if it could be glued on with some expoxy to make it permanent....

Yes, I was also quite thrown back when first seeing just how small the back end looked for the first time.

I definitely don't want to leave the Honda tail lights on the car, as their present location will make an excellent attachment point for the extension to the car.

Jim.
