First I would like to say hi! I am new here, I live in the U.S.. I was happy to find this site though, because I am hoping to find a set of export tail lights for my 4th gen Z28. Anybody here got any ideas how I will go about this task? (see pic for tail lights I seek)

TIA
Dave

The so called export lights for the rear are a Japanese thing . I have yet to see a fbody of any year in Germany running them.

Thanks for the compliment!:-burnout:
The licence bracket is from NAPA, about 4 bucks...
It is black painted metal, I had to tweak it very slighty to match the contour of the facia. I drilled 4 small holes and stuffed in those blue plastic expanding drywall anchors, then just used the matching screws in black. I will be re-doing it soon as a kid backed into the drivers side near the running light. Insurance is buying a new nose and the body shop is going to fill the grille mounting holes and install the standard white plastic lic. plate nuts into the facia.
Again thanks for the good words.
And thanks for any help in my quest...
Dave

This is an original euro-model ... should look exactly like yours ...
