Thanks with definition help guys.
I am looking at a set of Lotus Elise tail lights for my car. Does anyone know the diameter of them. As far as I can find they are about 4.5". If you know please post the info and the year of the car (S1/S2). Thanks!

I found out that they have two different sizes of light for the Lotus Elise. The first gen (S1) have 95mm 3.75" and the later Elise (S2) have 122 mm which is about 4.8". I ordered a set of S1 LED lights. We will French them in a little and have some stainless trim made . It should look killer but I have to wait for the light to come over from the UK.

Here are the new tires in their place. I will move the back spacing out by about 1/4" to allow the new wheels to all all the extra width to the inside thus allowing the old and new wheels to look exactly the same. No need for wheel spacers. The only change is to relocate the lower link to the inside.

I had a conversation with my body guy last week about wanting to take the car to another shop so it will progress at a faster pace. He asked for anther chance and has really picked up the pace. He finished the hood and has the new buckets for the tail lights built and ready to mold in. I am really pleased with the progress he is making now.

The light turned out terrific! I couldn't be more pleased with the results. It is almost identical to the VOX rendering except the inside light is slightly smaller on the rendering.

Here are a couple pictures of the rear suspension bar and brackets installed. And welded in place. The entire piece is removable for service if needed. Now it needs a little paint!

Thanks guys.
I got the new wheels in and tires mounted. The prancing moose center caps set them off nicely.

When I was welding the brackets on the housing to move the link bars to the inside I had a little problem. I must have warped them and now the housing is leaking gear oil. I think I am just going to get a new housing and call this a learning experience. A 9" is now on the way as well as a new Dutchman 3rd member with truetrac.
