Very Pleased with IVA Conversion on 2014 RS

Just had my IVA Conversion done by Luxlimo on Canvey Island, they usually specialise in limousines, Mustangs and Pick up Trucks but after having my Mustang done by them in 08' and never having a days issue with it I took my 14 Camaro RS with LED taillights to them and I'm over the moon with the work they have done and highly recommend them, everything looks factory.

Here's a few pics,

Mirror casing mounted LEDs for Turn signal.



New Amber LEDs installed inside tail light for a factory look.



Rear red LED fog light installed inside rear taillight to give it that untouched factory look

Thanks! Got some mods to do to it yet too, should look better once it's done.

I have gloss black ZL1 rims and red brembo brake conversion to fit.

That looks nice, black/silver plates look cool, I'll give you 3 weeks though before you get a pull

@L7EWB - It's looking really good! The silver on black plates make it look evil :-)
I've got a replica Texas plates on mine at the moment and I got followed by police for 15 minutes last night. They didn't pull me but I guess it's down to how they're feeling on the day. Just have some good excuses ready.

Correct, very much who you get & what mood the copper is in. I've been nicked 7 times on the bike for 'smaller than legal' plates over the yrs. But since the ANPR's have come on board, they seem to bang that one down ya throat all the time. It never seems to cheer the miserable tossers up when you tell 'em, a satellite can read a newspaper from 20 miles up, but according to them theirs can't read a funny plate from 20 yards.

Thanks guys! I'm really pleased with it! The back plate will probably be changed to a yellow one but I'll risk the front one as I've actually run that plate on my mustang for the last 6 & 12 yrs and they're usually going the other way when they spot it, but I think the back will be asking for a pull as like you say if they follow you it's right in front of they're eyes and they love to bring up ANPR ha ha! I've got a 53' Stepside that has one of those black and silver pressed rear Florida plate, I'd love to put one of those on this but we'll see!

The only time I've been pulled in 12 years with R1CK M is in Wales (where else) and I asked the Old Bill why - " Because illegally spaced numbers can't be read by the cameras".

He had no answer why two weeks earlier a letter came through the post with a ticket for speeding - read of course by a camera !!

Now that Jammers (it's a park sensor officer) are a great risk (you'll get a knock on the door from the Old Bill a few days later when Mr Camera Operator in a white police van - now civilians - gets the error code on his beloved "gun") the obvious solution is to do a SteveSS and forget the front plate !

Nice Conversion, and great looking car especially with those 10 spokes.

what are these black plates? custom made? I didn't get it...
They look good on the black.


Why did you let them install a fog light behind the reflective area in the taillights, and not where the factory fog light is (on EU models at least)?
Is this light used for something different?

Back up lights in the middle, turn signals on the outside, whats on the inside?

Yes the black plates look great, but in the UK they are only legal for vehicles registered before 1972
