Need some help with my K.I.T.T. !!!!!!!!

Post by OZ KNIGHT » Thu Feb 23, 2006 9:58 am

Hi guys. This might sound like a silly question but I had a single piece of thin tinted perspex (plexi-glass) cut out (from an accurate card-board template i made up) to go over the rear tail lights and i was just wondering, how would one attach it? Would you just screw some screws into it and the tail lights, or is there a bit more of a proffesional way? Any help and suggestions would be appreciated. :)

What year is your car? Most People prefer to put a screw on each edge. If it was Lexan and If you made the top a tad longer, you can bend it to screw on top of the tailights (under the rear hatch) to be hidden from outside view..

Something Liek this,

And just only have two screws showing on the bottom

But since its plexiglass it isnt that flexible so your stuck putting a screw on each edge.

Maybe THIS thread can be of some help. 8)

The "correct" way is to drill 8 mounting holes thru the blackout and into the taillight housings.

I have marked the locations thusly:
