TTA Tail Light TURBO emblem question

I would like to see close up pics of the TURBO center section of the tail lights.

Is the TURBO part a seperate plastic piece? If so, any pics of how they go together?

Bascially it does not have the lower red reflector, and the "Turbo" is really a soft rubber/plastic emblem like the front nose emblem on the '91-'92 GTAs, or the door emblem on the '81-'84 Recaro door handles.

Hope this helps,

George

Thanks to everyone so far

Does anyone have a pic of the emblem by itself before it is attached?

If it still available anywhere?

Here's one of my emblem before I sold it. You can check ebay as someone usually has one for sale all the time.

So the center section was the same, they just changed the bird and stuck on the "Turbo" decal?

Yep. But the Turbo isn't really a decal. Its fairly thick.

you can get it from Johnsperformance; it's at the bottom of this page but no picture http://secure.johnsperformance.com/c...Emblems/Decals

As said above, the center section do not have the red plastic reflective but this emblem strip instead.
