Tails and Carpet

Our electric vehicle project was equipped with stock '87-93 LX tail lights. Although the stock lights are nice the lens was both faded and cracked. The lenses provided from Latemodel Restoration are of the older SVO style. We love the black stripes and the retro look!!! We removed the stock lens from the housing by simply prying them off. Next Tyler Haney scraped out the adhesive and Clinton cleaned the housings.


The housing was cleaned...some Mothers' Back to Black was added on top of the housing to provide the rich black look.







Clinton adding the adhesive so the new lens can be glued into place.








As expected the interior carpet from 2 decades of use was extremely pitiful. Again Latemodel helped us out by supplying a new titanium gray carpet. The pics below show how the install went.

This is the interior before cleaning. We also removed the console bracket behind the parking brake since we are doing a console delete.

Holes have to be cut for the shifter, parking brake, seat. The carpet is easy to cut but hard not to cut too much.

Spencer and Eli check out a job well done.
