Re: anything wrong with this ??

What's wrong? Looks like the right brake light is half out, like it's missing a few nuts. Someone replace a taillight bulb and forget to screw it back on? Or is it something else?

Re: anything wrong with this ??

ha ha it's outside the car! must have been built in Canada. never seen it before or never noticed it.

I didn't see it until i saw the hint. thought you were talking about the gap between the the spoiler and the right spoiler piece or the exhaust how one hangs lower than the other.

Sorry not trying to make you self conscious.

The 3rd brake light was used on 1986 F-bodies only. AFAIK it's not just the export version... right?

Re: anything wrong with this ??

I am guessing the black strip on the left and the red reflective strip on the right?

Re: anything wrong with this ??

ya for some reason its painted red on one and black on the other. from what i gather it is should be black. and the spoiler is raised on one side because the botls on it pulled through. it is a bit of the camera angle that makes the pipe look lower but i guess it could be raised a bit.
----------
this winter i plan on puting some major work on it. (paint) if i have the money.

Re: anything wrong with this ??

Well yeah, like everyone else mentioned, the red on the right, and black on the left tail lights... But the rear bumper cover says RS, the first year for an RS was 88 california models. The hatch is from an 86 due to the third brake light, or from and 87 Base coupe that didn't originally have a spoiler on it, which could be the reason for the oddness with the wing.
