Installing rear bumper fillers
OK. I'm about to start pulling things apart to remove my original fillers and replace them with G-body parts fiberglass fillers.
Help me save some time. I'm about to start this job. I looked under there and it's obvious the rear bumper needs to come off, and also the gas door, but do the tail lights need to come off? Any tips for fitting them properly? Thanks! Last edited by meanchicken; May 31st, 2009 at 08:04 PM.

yes tail lights need to come off
only tip is be generous on the holes when you drill them, they are easy to see where they need to be drilled out I also like to drill large holes on the depressed area under taillamps so that water can drain out

thanks, guys.
Is there a seal or gasket behind the tail lights that I need to replace?

This is taking longer than I expected.
I got the driver side on there, but need to do more tweaking on the filler. There is some interference at the panel that goes behind the gas door. The filler will slip behind it, as I assume it should, but it bumps into that panel and also on the nut that the gas dooe bolts to. Due to that interference, the gao between the tail light and the filler gets larger as you get closer to the centr of the car, and the top of the filler on the side does ot line up very well. with a little clearancing....I should be able to make that better. So I need to pull it back off and grind away more filler. to be continued tomorrow... I'll take some poix and post them also...should help others who are thinking about going fiberglass.
