Default Make a coupe into an RS front and rear?

Hi, I've been looking for my ideal car - RS with modern engine, pro touring looks, etc.

I've found one that is a coupe with the regular front and rear. I'm pretty sure I've read on here that its possible to update the front to have the hideaway lights and grill... but is it also possible to change the rear to look like an RS? Meaning the black cover piece that goes across the rear of the car on top of the rear lights, and then also adding the reverse lights in the lower section of the bumper?

Can all of this work be done without worrying about the paint? The car is already painted very nicely.

Best,
Kris

Sure it can be done. Are you wanting to clone a standard coupe to look like an RS?

Yeah exactly thats what I want. But I guess my question is, if the car has just been painted, is it easy to do now, or should that be done before paint?

is nota big issue with the paint at all. not to worry.

you will have to worry when you start pricing the hide-away headlight kits though
