Maserati Boomerang lights

[bad_roo]

Is there a retro fit kit for the later Coupe models? I much prefer the old lights to the new 'Prelude' units.

What a confusing thread title; this is the Maserati Boomerang:

Dear Bodo

Don't you think more folks on this forum actually own a 3200gt equipped WITH what is popularly known as "Boomerang rear lights" than the Maserati prototype you have shown?

Its about 4K if you get rear ended first and need an insurance repair.

cant believe they dropped the boomerang lights, apparently because the american market didnt like them.....they were the nicest cosmetic touch on the car!

I love the boomerang lights and would never consider a Maser without then, I think they're stunning.

I've followed craigw several times with his hazard lights flashing thinging how cool they look!

[...] The most remarkable detail of its design were the tail-lights consisting of the LED diodes placed in the shape of boomerang. The car was replaced in the beginning of 2002 by similarly designed successor Maserati Coupe, when Maserati decided to turn back on the US market. The original boomerang tail-lights had to be replaced because they didn't fulfill the US requirements for better visibility of the car's rear end during the driving at night.
