Check Out My Grid Tail Lights

The topic says it all. I went to junkyard and got the new Grids for $10 Each. Look at the comparison.

We have one Killer Junkyard here. Real cheap prices and the place is hugh. It took me 20 minutes to walk straight to the camaros. They still have old Chargers 1948 Trucks.

I have a buddy that found a set of 98' Ta Leather seats out of a Trans am that was just brought in to the yard a week ago. He got them for $13.00ea. For the front Buckets and 15 for the rear

Great steal. Wish some of the junkyards around here even had some third gens to rob parts off of, but most are goin to the crusher . I just got mine off ebay for about $52.00 with shipping and handling, and they're in about great shape. But, $10.00 bucks, damn.

dude... where in PA is this place? I may have to travel through there sometime! The yards around here are okay and have a decent # of 3rd gens, but finding 4th gens is damn near impossible

That is there Price List
They are very orginized by like Make, Model, Year

Didn't Have too many fourth Gens I think I seen 4.
But I think they had about 35-40 Third gens.
It is just a shame that most of them Were either TBI or crossfire 4cyl NO TPI The ones that were TPI there Was NO enging or trannys in them

Well, I did some research over at mapquest.com and its near Pittsburg. It's only 198 miles from me...Hmmm....a road trip maybe in order. That is unless MTPFI-MAF would be so nice as to find me '91-'92 Firebird parts and ship them to me:lala:

yea I checked out Mapquest and it's about 4 hours away from me. Unfortunately, It's really out of the way from anywhere that I usually travel. There have to be more good yards around... I just have to start searching I guess. Anybody know of any good ones in the Western NY or NYC areas?

PS- hope you don't mind the hijacking of your thread! the grids do look way better. Very nice upgrade

I like the way the grid makes the lights look smaller, the solid one just looks too big for me.
