Does anyone else get that sand looking stuff in their brake lights?....I mean I wipe it or wash it out and it shows back up right away....What's up with that?
Yeah it's a pain -- I'm sure it has to do w/ the way air swirls around back there when in motion. Be careful not to scratch the way-too-soft clearcoat on the paint when cleaning; some people use an aftermarket kit to move the lights out so the lens cover is flush w/ the body.

hey thanks a ton....is this mod fairly simply to install?
hey its a semi race car-since my nephew was in the trans am series-and i was on the crew and clean the car-even after just 10 laps of practice-the car would be a dirty mess..its road grim,rubber,brake dust, exhaust grit-you name it..it gets all over it-so what do we do-We clean a dirty car..drive it like ya stole it-and maybe put on some ceramic pads and
LET THE CLEANING BEGIN
I'm seriously considering the flush-mount tail light mod just for this reason. At least it would eliminate four of the crap collectors.

Ahh, the dreaded "dirty butt" syndrome.
I hate it.

Thanks for the picts Looks like there is black around the light assembly. What is the shape of the weather strip that you put around the light & where did you get it?
Did you put the foam strip around the hole & the light?
That mod rates up there with the CAGS for price & practicality.
