Where could I find one of these?
I'm looking for a rear "filler panel", also known as a "Divider panel" for my 1987 Firebird Trans Am. Its the panel that goes in-between the two tail lights, mine just cracked AND I CANT FIND ANOTHER ONE. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP. Lol. I need to find one, Hawks doesn't have them. Any ideas?

Re: Where could I find one of these?
some people are too lazy to search a junkyard but its usually the best bet for certain pieces with these cars. especially something like a single/handful of bolts and fasteners. sometimes thirdgenranch or hawks will have what you need, other than that, get your hands dirty!

Exactly! Up until my daughter was born last year I spent alot of time hunting the yards. I got several hard to find parts for next to nothing, including my tail lights...all 3 pieces for $20.

I had my daughter outside in her stroller in the driveway with me while I was doing the motor swap on my car. She was 6 months old at the time and was fascinated by the shiny wrenches that I let her play with.

Re: Where could I find one of these?
Not really. I've actually put in WAY more wrench time this year than in the past. 3 motor/tranny swaps on 3 different cars, 2 paint jobs, a quarter panel replacement, etc...The list goes on and on.

Yeah, I pulled a bowtie grille for $5 back in the summer. That goes for what, $60 on hawks new. Alot of times I'll get random bolts and stuff just in case I need them down the road.

Re: Where could I find one of these?
Well honestly Idk, where I love there aren't very many junkyards. What should I call this part? Like the correct term. Is it the Rear Filler Panel? the Divider Panel? lol. I need to know what to call it. Thanks for your help guys.
