Finished the black around the top half of the tails. much better
and 3rd brake light led. I used what was left over from the length I wanted for the side mirror turn signals. perfect fit.

Temporary. Have to extend both of them still. One side is 1/2 short and the other is 3/8 short.
So have to reglass them and reshape.

**Scot... did you have them cut at the front or back to extend? Why not go right in the middle to extend, or will it be easier to reshape just the end vs the middle? I haven't tackled mine yet hence all the questions lol  I'm having a shop do it for me at this point just want to have a good game plan when I go in.... thanks for any advice!

We went with the front to cut and extend. It was the flattest of the rocker and would be easier
To shape. Also because the driver side end was not square at all. We had to cut and reposition and make it straight. The rear of that rocker is the same but not as bad. The glass quality is thick/thin all over. I still have to get metal so we can attach the bottom to the car and build a ledge for the door opening so it has something to sit on.
It appears they intended for the rockers to sit out at a angle rather than straight. This based on the ledge on the inside of the rocker that I had to cut off. Which this would look stupid coming down from wheelwell and then angling out rather than continuing the body lines.
