First Iteration (Lights)
The lights are from Amazon (4 front, 4 rear), hot glued into the front and rear bumpers. The front license plate is made from printer paper backed by aluminum foil covered in tape hot glued onto a small folded piece of aluminum (self-made). Everything else is unmodified. The lights were later removed after the lights started to go out. The license plate was removed after a crash. Both were never reinstalled.
