Someone should manufacture a center reflector with an interchangeable lens so that whenever yours turns pink you can just replace it with a new lens and not the whole reflector

I bought one of Al's for my ducktail. Looks awesome. Would be cool to have a center reflector to match it.

Really good , well done !! it must have a purpose for cooling so we must drill somewhere it would be a shame to be just for look .

Maybe behind the grill so it is very settle , 2 little withe light on the sides and a red light in the middle .

I really want this, but am I wrong in thinking that the piece would have to be a relatively complex shape both in order to properly match the contours of the taillight and also attach to the mounting holes?

I would definitely want to be on the list to purchase a piece like this.

If we could incorporate discreet reverse lights and maybe another brake light, it could be even better!

Can't wait to see what more creative minds on this forum come up with.

Interesting idea Rob , is piece 1 the rear part of the tinware ?

Do you maybe know what is the diameter of the holes? I will be buying a sheet of perforated metal today and have no idea what diameter holes to take...

There used to be link right to a place to buy the perforated aluminum on the Pelican thread about the grills, but I can't find it now. I'll measure a hole when I get home tonight.

The easiest way would be to take and old reflector, remove the clear red lens, and modify it to fit the grill.

I'm asking a guy in Japan if he can find anything out, so maybe he will come through. Also, Nakai of RWB is building a car ten minutes from my house, so maybe I can ask him in sign language or something.
