Quarter panel end cap
« on: March 13, 2016, 08:08:08 PM »
Ok not sure if that's the correct name for it or not; however, would someone verify for me that there is a gap between the end cap and the inside corner of the taillight panel? It's been awhile since I've seen mine in one piece and pictures are hard to tell. Appears to be about a finger tip width gap?

  Picture, my car, is of the areas I think your are describing.  On the Left the gap is about 1/4" and on the right closer to 1/8".  Brian

Brian, your car looks amazing! Same color as mine, well as mine will be again anyway. Yes that's the area I'm talking about. Mine looks a little bigger I think, I did the best I could to get the panel pulled back as far as possible against the quarter extension piece, but I think some times that's the raw deal with after market parts even when u buy the best sold..
