DF, as I have stated on more than one occasion, I'd be more than happy to reproduce the FB version of this filler piece. I will however need a commitment of at least 10 units, including a deposit. PM me for details. The version I'm looking to duplicate is the old school red reflector style that I posted on the first page.

Thanks Scott. I am willing to wait a little longer for
Akiratdk to see the final product. He seems to be 90%
of the way finished already.

The old-skool red type would probably not go with my
intended color combination anyway. That's why I
was so eager to see the stock style with glowing letters
thing.

You could still make a prototype though, you never know,
alot of people here prefer the old-skool style for everything.

My car is kinda of Modern Vintage.

i'd be down for an SA piece if it's under 200 without the lighting. i can set up a decent lighting system for it myself. oh, and the old school type font would be nice too. and major props go to akiratdk. you're the man. you know you could start an ebay store and start selling them on there and even make your own website and put a link to it on here. don't let the admins screw over your own business plan.

For the SA I will need to meet Wackyracer and see the rear of the car for myself~~ I will contact him as soon as possible~~ Then I can measure the surface more accurately.
However for the FB I have them ready to produce~~ PM me if you want one~

i wish there was a way you could make it so the plates stay in the same spot and you just put rx 7 above the plates. but if i have to move my plate i will.

Can you post a current picture of what they look like? I'm planning on painting my car dark blue this winter and want to make sure it will look good.

When you say they are ready to produce, I assume you mean without the light, right?

Thanks,
Rich

you might as well make a single piece light/center panel like the fd. i think it would clean up the look.

I would acctually be very interested if someone did make a full rear light and plate replacement, since we don't have many options on customizing our rear lights anyways.
