About Us
Left Lane Designs, based out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, started out in September 2010 with an engineering student who wanted automotive parts that didn't exist in the aftermarket.
It began with headlight customization for Chevy Cobalts as that was the easily accessible car to modify at the time. Simple aesthetic changes, like painting the headlight housings black, were found to completely change how the car looked. Aftermarket options existed, but the "fast and furious" style of those parts wasn't great considering most people just wanted something simple, good performing, and clean. As time went on, aftermarket companies started coming out with HID projector kits that, with some creative thinking and basic rotary tools, you could fit where the OEM halogen bulb went. Better light output and a customized OEM style look. Can you say yes? This became known to the car community as headlight retrofitting. Throughout the years, projector kits became cheaper and more durable. Accent lighting options, such as LED halos and strips, have exploded in the market giving retrofit installers the capability to build nearly anything imaginable. This explosion of available products naturally led to tail light customization as well!
In 2018, after owning multiple vehicles with retrofits ranging from 800hp Cadillac's to 600cc sportbikes, we found ourselves with a Mazda Miata being built for road course use. We naturally had to build headlights and tail lights like never seen before in the miata community, but we also wanted a clean and functional way to duct air out of fenders without the aesthetically unappealing way of just cutting off the lower half of our fenders. You probably guessed it, this product didn't exist! This situation should sound familiar... Fast forward a couple months, and this led to the aerodynamic side of what you see on our website and the first miata lower fender vents on the market.
We are hoping to continue growing with new innovative automotive products. Function AND form is our goal, from headlights to taillights and everything between.
