Yes ,the fitment was good on my car although it is a aftermarket GT2 Tail from Presision Porsche, I had autocraft install it. It seemed to be the exact size as the factory unit I took out. I went with the clear. Good luck.

I am waiting for a bit of cool air so they start getting ripe. I have a decent crop this year

Not that it matters, but it looks like the lower edge and the end radii are "rough". Does it fit perfect? Looks like it is not quite perfect.

I did not clean the area before the install... did it quickly for the photo. I will remove it again to clean, polish, wax the area and then install it.

The seal of the new light is not as big as the old one, correct. But, you can't see any gaps around the new seal so that is good. But I wonder how the sun and aging will change that... Bottom line, looks good, but if you want the perfect fit and seal you have to go with the factory red unit...

It looks good to me. Maybe the "rough" look is really light reflection off the body work radius/edge.

Yes, that looks better. I know I tried to install these (twice) on my cab and they just don't fit....there was actually a gap (that water could easily get through). Glad to see it worked for you.
