Tail Light Fillers?
hey guys.. i know not many of u are into this type of stuff.. but do any of u know where i might find some tail light fillers for the center 2 portions of the 92-95 civic tail lights.. i want to eliminate mine & just leave the outer ones but i didn't wanna make them by hand if i didn't have to.. i'm looking for the peices that i can just weld in & do the finish work.
any info would be appreciated.

You can get CF trunks that would eliminate them http://www.fiberimages.com/images/pr..._hn_cvc_tk.jpg. Unfortunately they also eliminate the lisense plate so you would have to re-locate it. You could also paint them the same color as your car.
I've never seen a kit like what you are talking about. You could probably just weld in your own pieces (the same way people shave their side moldings).

so the only one to possibly know where to get sonething like this would in fact be a body shop,
****go to your local machine shop and ask him how much to cut out some inserts to fill in the holes in your trunk, probly like 15-50 bucks this time of year since they are pretty slow now then you could weld them in and do the finishing body work on it
