The reflectors on the lower part of the bumper. Lexus has them too.
Our tC already have the place to put them, we just need the reflectors.
Anybody makes them for tCs?

Try some reflective tape. . .
Your application would be purely cosmetic. . . it's only necessary for tail lights that do not have an integrated relfector and/or altezza (clear) tails. Many people assume that clear tails are legal, but they are only if there is a set of red reflectors present.
But it's not a luxury item nor is it really functional. . . do you just like the look?

I'd have to see a better chop. I really can't say since I have no idea what it would look like. My best guess is that it would look sissy.
But that chop isn't very accurate; you just cut the bumper off the Mazda, so the tC's rear bumer is now lower, wider, and has dual exhaust. A big part of the visual improvement is from the appearance of having a body kit!

And if somebody made a kit like that, I would totally buy it! that's the best looking rear to a tC I have ever seen. I'm not a fan of overdone bumpers, unnecessary bents, etc.

I haven't looked at the area, but possibly get some bicycle reflectors that are larger than the area and trim them down? You could just fasten them with double sided tape. Should be pretty cheap if you can find large enough reflectors.

That's how it pretty much is though. I remember the import scene, post fast and furious, everyone wanted clear tails, corners, etc. The tc comes with clear lenses on pretty much everything other than the tails and heads...but we're smoking them and overlaying them amber.
It's mostly because we want it to look different...don't you agree?

Well, I do want them but I don't want it to look "homemade". I'm gonna go to the Lexus and Mazda dealer and measure them, then buy it off the dealer parts dep.
I'll keep you guys posted.
