    They didn't for a while, the post you read might have been old.

    But also they only sell the corners not the trunk like part... and I'm pretty sure it was only available for sedans.

    I have seen some decent ones on a 90 model sedan, and thought to myself maybe those could be modified to fit 3g. some one should get some of these and let us all know how they look!!!

    Re: What in heavens name is going on here.

    the most ed item for a 3gee on ebay i think :-/ but the price is just way 2 much

    and roodoo, the lights wont fit unfortunatly, either you mod the light to fit nice and flush with the body, or mod the body flush with the lights. but then you might aswell continue on a 4th gen rear end swap :P

    Re: What in heavens name is going on here.

    yeah, if they made the inner portion, people would acutally buy them.

    I'm sure manufacturers will see these tailligth do not sell and just stop making them... instead of finding out what's wrong.

    i do, the center pieces are different sizes, and they prolly dont wanna bother making both sizes, but i dont see why they could just make the 1 size, and if people really wanted them, they would buy boot lids to fit
