    NO.

    You need "Tail Lights" from a 1988-89 Sedan.

    your car would look major stupid with the black plastic from the coupe on one side and the metal one on the other side!

    the only way to remove the metal piece is to cut it off!

    Dude, 1. Coupe Tails are harder to find in good shape then sedan tails.
    2. it's alot of work to get that metal piece and and chances are if you cut it your gonna have a mis-cut razor edge on your car.
    3. Sedan Tails are cheaper and easy to find on ebay and most junk yards and can even be had for $40 a piece BRAND NEW!

    So the moral of my post is:

    YOU WOULD BE STUPID TO DO THAT!, JUST BUY A 88-89 SEDAN TAIL AND BE DONE WITH IT!!!!!

    dude. the coupe lights are completly different. the black piece goes alll the way through the back and connects to the plate piece. plus i believe the center piece is completly different as well. here you compare and tell me
