If u get the monaro lights they have the reverse lights in the tail light themselves as 4 the normal VT lights they dont so u disconect them and yer paint over the reverse lights on the garnish or u can try wat daron did, looks good and try put the reverse lights in with the indicators

I hate the half jobs some people do on cars.

I agree especially different or multicoloured panels a brown panel looks so good on a red car. Why not add a few patches here and there!

some ppl dont always have the cash to finish off the project perfectly. i'd rather have my only car on the road with a different coloured panel then totally off the road. if you can step your progress so ur car looks good all the time then great, but sometimes its just not possible ;)
