I wonder if there'll be S650 style tailights for S550

[Toretto]

Similar to the Raxiom Profile tailights, I wonder if anybody will come out with a S650 style which i'll cop if they do

I had a similar thought with the dual air intakes and throttle bodies. Wondering if the aftermarket world will create this for the 15-23 models. I have a moderate level of mechanical knowledge so not sure what all it would take to do this or how expensive it would be?

I can see companies being all over the new headlights and taillights as a product for the s550. I would pass on the headlights, I love the current look. Taillights would have me at least thinking, especially in the clear, euro spec.

Why on earth would you want them?

There will definitely be something out there, either with the 24 manifold or some sort of adapter to mate the dual intake to a single TB. My guess is the 24 manifold will become a popular upgrade for the S550, kind of how the 18 manifold is.

The new taillights look pretty cool, but I'd guess it'll be hard to make facsimiles that look as good because the angle on the rear of the 550 is so much higher than on the 650. I mean, they tried to make 550 taillights for the 197 and the design differences defeated the aesthetics there, IMO.

Fair point dude....i do like those raxiom profile lights (but wished it wasn't completely "flat" so if there was another design with the tri bars at least semi raised then i'll snatch em up straight away)

I like the look of the new tails but they don’t quite look right on the S550 in the photos. Concave taillights with a flat taillight panel doesn’t quite jive to my eye.

After looking at them a little more, it looks like they are not so concave, but pointing to the side to give the illusion of being concave.

Could be an optical illusion as far as the concavity. But I think you need the taillight panel to have the same look. Just doesn’t flow right, IMO
