This is an early picture of the LED lights on the side of the extension.



Here is a closeup of the of LED cluster for the stop lights. The center, clear bulb is the backup light, and the upper, amber bulb is one of the blinker lights.



This is a close-up of the license plate illumination light. Notice the roughed out spackling job on the extreme edge of the tail?



And a shot of the tail. This picture is from about 4 weeks ago.



A the funny wood thingy is positioned inside the foam and lines up with the rear hatch.



You can see the LED light assembly peeking through the cutout.



And now a wedge of foam is added to the wood piece, which will end up being shaped for acrylic glass is this spot.



The extension is off the car and tipped upside-down, where the bottom side is getting ready for glassing.



The cutout for the acrylic has been finished, and the outer edges are being glassed.



And here is what the surface looks like after the epoxy hardens.



Now the acrylic is fitting inside the cutout.



Here's a telephoto shot of the side of the extension in a parking.



And another shot much closer.



A closeup of several LED lights on the side.



And...



A shot of the rear end of the tail.



You can see the brush-strokes of the red paint. This is just a sealer for the winter.



A straight-on rear view of the tail.



In the lower portion of this picture, you can make out the start of rear wheel spats.
