Default Mix/match taillights

Is this possible? Haven't ever seen or heard anyone doing this before: has anyone ever paired up the '09+ outer tails with the pre-facelift inner pieces? Curious to see how it looks!

That's like in the old days when people put those civic taillights and new version of the outside so it's flipped around.

Don't do it, not just because they will look different at night, also the taillight shapes are different.

I was always thinking the 2009+ inners and the 06-08 outers since the 2009+ inners have nicer leds...

Someone should try it lol

If anything I'd think mixing/matching 09-10 with 11 would look okay, other than that, I can't see it looking that great. Who knows though, I'd probably have to see it.

It would look absolutely retarded. Different shapes, different styles. Don't do it.

I see here people are staying it won't fit. I'm able to pick up a pair of 12+ 2IS tailights from my friend. Wanted to confirm its complete plug and play right into my 08' IS F? Don't need to buy new harness or anything?
