thanks brother! i have to change my stock tail, i F'n HATE IT!!!! i wanted to go flush and eliminate it but that is not in the plans with all my other projects... when you looked at your light, if i was to cut off the bracket, sand it smooth, and powder it.. think that is possible? or by cuttin off the bracket part would that leave a big hole there?

I think that would definitely work - there seems to be plenty of metal around that area. In fact, that was my exact initial plan. However, I just got lazy and tired of procrastinating the install, so I improvised a half-assed solution.

That is really sharp! I like the winged skull, it really ties in well.

Hey roc312,
Thanks for the link to this ebay seller, I just purchased a black (tombstone) tail light like yours. I have been on the lookout for one of these. Again, thanks...
