Chartoo Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I was mucking around the other day with my spares set of taillight surrounds. I love the lights but dont really dig the number plate surround as it drops in. I wanted a more filled out smoothed look. So i got a spare EB Ford Falcon (Australia) taillight panel and chopped it up and added it in. Its only loose in there and diff colours but i think it has potential. Funny thing is that it fits really well... after you chop out heaps of it. I will just have to put a small fill along the bottem of it and put some small holes to access the reverse lights bulbs Will go nice with my shaved rear end...when i get around to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryb Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Show us a pick with the lenses...it hard to picture the final look. Thanx!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chartoo Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 round 2 - i broke one of the reverse light lenses but you get the idea Still needs fibreglassing and bondo (bog in aust) and painting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryb Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I guess its OK but I prefer the stock look. In my eyes its not enough of a difference. Im also not a big fan of the reverse lights on each side of the plate Thanx for posting the pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chartoo Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 Yeah thanks for the feedback. My only gripe is that the reverse lights arent in the centre of the number plate section, theyre a bit low but i can live with it. I just like that is all smooth and at the same height / depth as the taillights and the hatch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryb Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 All I say is ...if you like it go for it! Im sure it will turn out great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefjaren Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 i like the look, i think you should keep with it see how it pans out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psdenno Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I like the look, too. Let us know when you're finished. Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chartoo Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 i had another idea. there is those clear taillight lenses now to replace the orange ones. that means i can run reverse and indicator bulbs both through that ones lense and remove the reverse lights near the number plate but that will make it a really simple panel looks wise in the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
