I hope to soon make a whole new lens for the 944 model, once solid piece, none of that black plastic in between the individual lenses.

The mold will be made on a CNC and and then sent off to a plastics company. I will then be making these available to the public

When looking at the 944, the only thing that makes the car look its age is the tail lights, i think by updating the rear of the car it will modernize it significantly.

I believe there is a european supplier that makes all white tail lights. You could get those ($$$$$) and lightly spray them with candy apple transparent. I just simply matched my turn signals with 3 coats.

How far into this project are you? Have you contacted any compaines yet? If you have not messed with the 944 tail lights, it's not going to be an easy task to make one peace tail lights.
I have clear/red tail lights but would love one piece tail lights. It would significantly modernize the rear.

This would look so much better than the stock version. Please keep us updated.
