What are tail light covers?

FGarcia1 · 05-23-2002, 10:56 AM

I found these kinda ghetto covers that go on the taillights, they black out the edges and have a circular cut-out where the bulb is, and also cutouts for the turn signals and reverse lights. I have to take a pic, I think it looks pretty nice when they're on the car. Just need to get them painted...

PreludeNYC · 05-23-2002, 11:03 AM

local shop (r-eracing.com). It's a domestic shop basically and at first he ordered me maxspeed springs, the struts, and front camber kit (he told me the camber kit was for all four wheels

). Later that day I decided that I wanted Eibachs instead of maxspeed, and he changed my order for Eibachs and I was supposed to pay like 190 for the sportlines. But he forgot that he changed my order and that I owed him more money

But thats what he gets for telling me that the camber kit was for all 4 wheels.
