I've been having similar thoughts with my plan too. I quite like the muscle car idea too, but also want a slightly modern take on it, so I am currently torn between:
the style which was on this car in the first few pics, which look good for a retro style.
the style used on the 2005 mustang, but I think will be too big to look right on the back of an MX, so would need to be some sort of custom version, scaled down to size.
a truck-trailer set of lights, with a GRP cover round & over it, to get the desired shape without worrying about conforming to road laws.
a different route, like the rear from a lotus elise.
For my budget, my current preference is to use a set like this, and add a GRP cover over it:
so the rear of the car would look like this photoshopped version... on the left side, so the above light cluster would then slot in behind it:
I'd be very interested to see what you can find which works, cos this car is looking rather good already
