Thanks for the info. JD. 

I've seen the wrap/lip toward the trunk option, but was concerned about the line you would would see on the left and right edges as it doesn't extend the whole length.

Hi Bob,

Tribute car.  Groups like this helped me immensely when the car was first built in the early 2000's when I had zero knowledge on how to do it.  I'm now going back to clean up a few of the things that have always bugged me :-)  This looked like the most knowledgeable group to help solve the issue.  I'm fine with any type of change to prevent this from happening again.  The simple fiberglass replacement piece on the car now or the one with the integrated light bucket seem to be the two choices, but would rather avoid the latter.

Look forward to any thoughts.

Thank you.

Jeff

P.S. If anyone is interested, some background on the car:

Car now has many changes since articles were written including an aluminum stroked dart block 427, solid roller with 8 stack Hilborn injection, new fuel system/tank, cooling system, cogged tooth belt setup, etc.  Two hoods, stock for short stacks and two oval slots for tall stacks through hood.

Hi All,

Looking for help.  My fiberglass taillight panel top edge is sinking toward the top center of each taillight housing.  The curvature is very noticeable in the attached photo.  We're looking to replace it, but are not sure how to prevent this from occurring again.  We appreciate any thoughts on prevention and what type of replacement panel to get.  I've seen just the taillight panel and one with integrated light housings (much more expensive).

Appreciate any help.  Thank you.

Respectfully,

Jeff
