I noticed that too. It must be related to CHMSL visibility requirements. This reminds me of the last A60's losing the louver option in '86 when CHMSL was mandated.

For the design I am playing with, I have thought about integrating the third brake light into the louver. Modern LEDs come in all sorts of convenient sizes and shapes. Doubt that would make it to production, simply because it adds cost and complication, but I might do it for myself just for fun. Of course this may all be immaterial if we get some better shots of the TRD piece and we all fall in love with them.
