He's talking about gen 1 DPs, which originally had to use headlights, tail lights, and side mirrors from a production car (this made some degree of sense at the time as it's basically what the 911 GT1-98 did). The mirror requirement went first for safety reasons and eventually the lights got dropped because a Focus headlight turned 90 degrees sideways to fit on a Multimatic didn't accomplish much of anything. Gen 3s were supposed to be all as distinct as the Corvette DP but it turns out nobody was really interested.

L.P.
Works just fine for pretty much everyone but Toyota. There's a reason Honda keeps threatening to bring out the ARX-04 again.
