Sure, if your really good at metal fabrication! Kidding aside, no, they don't fit.

K, now here's one for you guys - I know we can do turbos, but what about a supercharger? Any one ever found one for the 2nd gens? Or that a custom job only?

here's an idea if you want "euro-ish" tail light, just take it out carefully, and smash all that defracting lense behind the clear, colored plastic casing, then if you're good, you can dremel the front off, spray paint the inside with chrome, reasemble it (reglue, superglue, heatmelt, whatever it takes to keep the two halves together) and you should be ok, and for short, I don't think there is a euro tailight made for the second gen.

I don't think there werer any supercharger kit made for the 2nd gen max, 3rd gen for that too even, its a custom job, I know one of the guy in the 3rd gen forum is tinkering with a supercharger from a domestic car, I forgot what it was, but go in there and ask and maybe you can find a way to fit it onto the second gen since its somewhat similar.

Ummm....guys where is the common sense? What are you all talking about will the lights fit this car? Of course they don't!! You need to do some custom body work to do it...plain and simple.
