Does the G5 have a 'duck tail' like the Cobalt- the little hump? It seems that the quarter panels' trailing edge have these humps above the taillamps as well to flow w/ the trunk. If the G5 does not have it, it might look strange having a flat trunk w/ humps next to it.

I always thought this idea was stupid, but to be honest - but it looks pretty ******* badass in my opinion. Maybe do a gen2 eclipse mod and put the round reverse lights in the rear bumper or something like that.

jacobrollins - if you do the switch and wanna get those reverse lights off your hands, I'll buy 'em off you. They are blacked out except the center right??

It looks kind of weird keeping the round lights in my opinion. The g5 lights 'flow' better with the lines that are already there.
