no stripe

 

Hmmmmmmmm.

 

No stripe FTW!!!!

Thanks for these pics. They made my decision for me!!! Great work

 

I kept the stripe for a few reasons, none of which I'll mention here

 

So I'll say this. Even after having experience opening taillights, the 2nd one still took an hour. I first gave it 25 minutes at 230 to soften it up good. I think took my flathead screwdriver and removed as much silicone as possible along the top.

Back in the oven at 230 to 10.

I then took my flathead screwdriver and removed as much silicone as possible along the bottom.

Back in the oven at 230 for 10.

I then began to pry from the top, by the time it made some progress the silicone was hardening back up again.

Back in the oven at 230 for 10.

I then pried from the bottom until it seperated. Because the top was already loose I was able to pry it off 100% without going back in the oven again.

Long story short, it takes a long time and your fingers will hurt like HELL when done because you need to push hard with the tips of your fingers. This is very very painful .

 

Trying to read your mind on it... I can't think of any laws off hand that require the tail like be visible from the side.

 

It has very little to do with legality

 

No Stripe!!! Wow that looks awesome, you might be getting mine to do this winter!

 

I think both ways look good. nice job Mike.

I think the stripe looks out of place. what about a vertical stripe? similar your front corners?
