A direct switch won't work..the tail lights are completely different shapes. The aftermarket is bound to come out with something eventually...maybe?

I think there's a thread somewhere on here where American Muscle said they are working on something like this, but there's no date for when it will be available.

Well, like they said, it is a completely different shape. I don't know how it would look as far as the lines of the car, but you could always try doing a rear end conversion to the '13. It would take a lot of fab work, and a TON of money, but that's the only way.

I'm currently working on a design to make vinyls for the '05-'09 body. I already have them for the '10-'12 body.

2010 is a lot closer match for the new taillights. 2005-2009 not even close. Goto a dealer and just have a look and see.
