What kind of difficulties were involved with retrofitting the LCI headlamps? Ive been thinking of doing the same thing myself.

Apart from financial difficulties, not much

Let the dealer worry about the install. Decided it would be less hassle that way. Much more expensive though. It's probably possible to get it working yourself as you saw me researching. But in the end the dealer did a deal on the install and I used them.

Are we talking about paint matched carbon hoods and trunks for lighter weight? Neat stuff.

well coupe hoods work just fine. Its essentially the same car ahead of the firewall.

But out back we get no love as a group. Im being told that no one wants to make trunks for the vert because it would require a minuscule change in the shape to integrate into the lines of the decklid that apparently would cost tens of thousands of dollars to execute.
