norcal505 Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Or maybe two or three So with some of the spare time I have my hands now and again, I find myself looking at photos of my car. Something that caught my eye recently was the rear end's lines. In many photos, it looks almost as if the right tail light is sorta crooked. Also, I'm aware that my center trim piece is kinked-up on the passenger side - but I believe that's the piece itself being warped. How as I initially thought that this may have been an error in the shop that did the rear-end repair last summer, I flipped through some photos of my car, from way before the accident actually even occured. What do you guys think? Below are some photos of the car, from before the accident (note the panels are all the same color ), and after the accident. Hope you guys aren't bothered by my O.C.D Cheers, Sina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrethx Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 i see a couple of things going on...here's a blown-up pic to show what i'm talking about: first, it seems that the gap between your taillight and your license plate mount panel is bigger on the passenger (right) side than it is on the driver's (left) side...this is the area that i've circled in yellow. this could be your license plate mount panel, though, instead of being your taillight. second, it seems that the gap between your taillight and the rear trim strip is bigger on the passenger (right) side than it is on the driver's (left) side...this is the area that i've circled in red. again, this might not be your taillight, it might be the strip. when one looks at the other pics (besides the one i've blown up) and compares the alignment of the right taillight with the trunk lid and the right rear fender, it looks straight. that's why i'm suggesting that the adjacent pieces, not the taillights, might be the damaged/misaligned ones... fwiw, the "after" pics look better than the before pics... andré Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcal505 Posted May 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Good eye Andre! I'm going to take a closer look when I see the car tomorrow night. Sina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick@nite Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 I have a used set if need be. Our 89' V6 is soon going to be a parts car eventually and that's the only car I have to worry about a tail light getting broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
