Moving to the back, it gets new tail-lamp graphics and a large blacked-out part featuring reflectors. Also, there is a diffuser-style element accompanied by larger exhaust units. The entire line-up will be available with a choice of four shades including Crystal Black, Hamilton White, Mars Red, and Cocoa Brown.
