Easy enough itll be a little more for the custom part on the tails another 10 over the price unless you wanna go ahead and tape em off tonight or pm me and I may be able to do something really custom like z28 tinted just a little lighter than the light and that would shine while braking. you have lots of options.

Nothing custom just the red part black. How much will everything be for the tails, side markers, third brake light, and corners?

I didnt ask. I like the 2002 Steering wheel with radio controls better than the 1998 wheel anyways. I also found out today it has weld in sub frame connectors.
