Evotech tail tidy?

Just saw one on eBay and look pretty cool, but don't know anything about the company/product...

If that was $90 with shipping I'd have it on order right now. It'd be nice if their were some other photos. It has the potential to be ugly but the usefulness for bungee attachments might over rule the ugly.

Here's their website.

Nope. With a license plate mounted I don't think it would look bad, and anything is better than the stock look. But to each their own.

I saw pics of a new version of the R&G tidy, but the reviews of the original one will keep me away until the new one has been around for a while.

I like the R&G tail tidy but the one thing it's seriously lacking for me is turn signal visibility. This is very important to me having known many people ass packed by cars because the car didn't realize they were turning and the person was downshifting without using the brakes.

Turn signal separation is very important. I think the R&G would be perfect is the signals were at the bottom of the plate so they could at least be as wide as the OEM signals.

The thing with this tidy is it allows you different configurations for your indis, scroll through the images for the many variations of mounting which ever indicators you like

blackun,

Which tail tidy are you talking about and where are these images you speak of?

edit: Ahh you must be referring to the R&G. Just a tip but when you are referring to something that is different then the item being discussed by the OP it helps to name it specifically and links are good too.

* being unemployed sucks. Too bad we can't get the new R&G from a reseller here stateside. With shipping the new R&G is $158.92. Which is actually pretty good since that's only $24 for S&H.
