85-90 Trans Am tail lights very nice
One passenger side light is perfect. I have polished it, taken it apart and cleaned it, and put it back together. To take them apart, you have to pop out a couple of plastic rivets in the top. I have not put rivets back in it yet, and took a picture of where the rivet goes so you know what I'm talking about. I didn't do this, because I planned on siliconing the two halves together to make it water tight before I put the rivets back in. In short, this tail light is restored and looks awesome. On the bottom, however, there is one small chip in the red reflector area. The driver's side one is almost perfect, with one small spot of slight separation as seen at the end of my finger. I have not taken it apart or messed with it in any way, as you can see by it being dusty inside. It is as perfect as the passenger side one with the exception of that one small spot.
I also have a spare passenger tail light that has quite a bit of separation, but is other wise in good shape. It would make a great light for somebody who just needs to replace a broken one, or for someone who wants to practice restoring one. I think it may be missing a mounting peg or two on the back.
I'm asking $70 shipped for the nice pair, and $25 shipped for the not-so-nice one. I'm selling because these were spares in case I ever wrecked my car, but now I sold it and won't be needing them.

The nice right side is the second pic from the bottom. It is also the one with the pic showing the rivet removed. I'd go $60 shipped for it.

No fading at all. You can see the one round spot about the size of a nickel or a quarter where my finger is pointing in the driver's side tailight where there is a little fading or separation. Otherwise, they are great.

Re: 85-90 Trans Am tail lights very nice
I have lowered the price on the tail lights, due to the fact I just noticed a small chip in the red reflector on the bottom of the nice driver's side one.

Make offers. I can't use them, so I'll hook somebody up with a good deal who can use them.

Re: 85-90 Trans Am tail lights very nice
I'm sure you could fill it, but It will never be perfect. It really isn't that noticeable, as I haven't noticed it in the couple years that I had them until just a week or two ago. I too am quite picky though, so I know what you're saying. The ones that I had on the car were spotless; it's just getting harder and harder to find nice OEM parts for these cars.
