tips on shaving inner taillights

You could weld sheetmetal in, grind it smooth and use body filler to finish it off. Then pick up some white LED's from an Autozone or O'Reily's in the towing/trailer department and carefully cut an opening into the shaved area, or into the rear bumper cover somewhere to mount the LED lights. If you go with the rear bumper idea, you'll have to follow the wire harness on your trunk lid back to where it attaches to the hinge. Follow it from there to an accessible area along the inside of the body. Carefully open up the loom and tap into the reverse light wires there. Extend them from there along the trunk floor towards the rear body panel. Drill a hole through the rear body panel down low in the spare tire well. Install a rubber or plastic grommet to protect the wiring and run the wires through the hole to the LED lights in the rear cover.
I think putting the lights in the rear cover would look much better than putting them in the shaved area. Otherwise, why else shave them in the first place you know??
Good luck!
I know there's members on here who shaved the rear lights. Do some searching and you'll probably find a good example. I just don't know of anyone off hand...

Or you can not ruin the way the car looks. Shaved inners look so retarded.
For some reason, back on the day, I thought it woul dbe cool to shave my inners on my Contour. Yeah, see how fucking rediculous that shit looks? I actually thought that was cool at one time.
Should look like this
Ended up like this
What I did was stupidly just fiberglass and bondo right over the existing lenses and built it up enough that it was flush with the sheetmetal. It actually came out really good, I had like 2 weeks worth of work into it, but it does look really really homo.
On a side note, I do wish I kept that car a little longer. I had quite a bit of work into it. It was fast as hell too. I had all the bolt on SVT parts except for the factory headers. I was probably pushing 180-190hp with it with the 2.5L V6 5 speed.Last edited by crazymikey; 10-16-2010, 01:30 AM.
