Is High-line. You can always spot this car at PJ TTDI area. I love the LED lights. Found it at Brothers cost around RM7++. I wish the price is lower after new sedan launch. More people looking for it. Normally if there is high demand and high supply the price will drop. I plan to get 1 to replace on the new sedan which I already place the booking. Wish it won't effected the warranty. I always see that Gen2 drop by at my apartment. Is High-line. You can always spot this car at PJ TTDI area. I love the LED lights.

However I guess the original rear light of gen2 is the continuation of lotus design cues. Should P1 come out with LED that's gonna be great on the car. I understand the LED cost RM700, that's bloody expensive for a light like that! The original rear light I was told is only RM188. The rear light here looks great, no doubt.

I think Proton bosses purposely left out this design so that one of the "buaya upstairs" (read, 'Boss') can make easy money from his/their nominee aftermarket company. Don't you think? But just in case the design team are really dumb, they should just look at the local car scene/clubs (e.g. Gen2Club/ProHatch) to learn what the owner wants from their car. I once tried to modified my old Satria tail light to LED after seeing Peugeot WRC car back in 2005. Hahah! You know what I think?
