Is it still unavailable? I agree but I feel like with a spoiler it will look pretty good.

yeah, they're both there now, but the 1st pic seems useless? the main texture you can see in that shot hadn't been edited yet.


but awesome job with the photo editing! i consider myself lucky to know how to crop or resize an image..

Well it seems useful as a before and after reference.

Also, could some of the brands like valenti or Toms make one with this housing design?

No. Filler and then use a screw driver and poke holes for some LEDs
