You need both left & right tail light extensions and tail lights, rear bumper cover, the bumper filler and the license plate pocket.

I prefer the cleaner look of the 87' -88' tail lights and I bought and stripped an 88" to acquire all the parts needed for the swap and sold the rest , made a profit and got my parts for free.
I also recently changed my tail light lenses to ones without emblems to clean it up even more plus that was the last of the chrome left on the car.

Im with you^^^ The 87-88 definatley looked better thats why I converted my 83, the sleeker look goes alot better with the sleek front end.

I had to replace my 87's rear tail lights. The driver side was cracked and dull and the passenger side was different shade of red. Much darker. Let me tell you now these puppy's are not cheap to find brand new OEM. Just for the pair of lens for both sides was Gulp $260.00 however they were shipped to me unharmed and came in packaging w/ GM labels and numbers. Now the rear looks fresh and new. My 59 caddy brake lights are in the trunk lid and are tied into the third brake light wiring...

I see it as rear facing t*ts . Make's the car look much different with than without . Most 87's look the same,
this one is really different. won first place trophy with it just 2 months ago.

****ed up or not I like it. :puke: :rofl:
