[Mk2] [Generic] Anyone know any more about these rear light louvres?

Post by OwenK »

Saw these on this vid:

I'm sure its been bandied about a lot as I've seen it a few times before but always interesting for a look :)

Here's the screen of the things in question:

Not great but it looks like ti came from a VHS source or something, and I can't find ANYTHING else on the web about it, anywhere!

Looks like some kind of Ferrari 348-style louvre over rev1-2 rear lights?

The most I've been able to find out about it on the web is here:
http://mr2.com/Toms.html



Which suggests it's a Tom's part, but only gives us the price (in yen) and part number.

Rear Louver - 75083-TSW02 - 48,000 - Covers rear taillights and center panel




Does anybody know any more about it? I've not been able to find ANYTHING else, anywhere!

Thanks Duke! With that little bit more information I managed to find a single pic -

But again I've reached a dead end. I've never seen this piece on anything except the white Tom's demo car, or for sale anywhere, or anything. Does anybody have any more info?

Not really a big fan of tinted lights. For me the appeal isn't really the darkness of the lights but the actual grill over the top - I guess it's hard to explain, but I love it :D

Will have to look into maybe knocking up some parts myself then maybe as the Tom's one sounds impossible to come by (and probably really expensive if it ever does!)
