Okay, let me make this clear, My car being "banged up" has no affect on the fitment, my regular tail lights fit on fine.
second, I did trying installing them by putting the tail lights on first, it didn't work. would you like me to make a video of me trying to put it on to show you every detail on how much it sucks and why it wont fit? It doesn't fit, im not re tarted, I know how to put a panel on, I tried fitting it as many different ways as I could. If you test fitted it before you sent it to me you would have seen that it doesnt fit.
