SOLD - Just sent $100 to Cliff via paypunks to support PFF.

They have about an inch of delam at the top, otherwise very good condition. They do have a little red paint on the black edge but that can be re-painted. I can't post photos from this computer but I can email them to someone - if you can post them for me that would be great.
Best offer over $600. $100 goes to Cliff to support PFF.
You can PM me or email me at ImThaDriver at yahoo.
Thanks,

Yes you should be able to get a grand for a perfect set.
As everyone can see, I didn't bother wiping the dust off of the back of them...

Your price might be a little high based on condition. A more reasonable price is probably around 250 to 300 for these. It's going to cost 200 for someone to refinish them. From my experience selling a few sets over the last year the going price for a clean set no delam that just need some clean up is between 400 and 600. I haven't seen anyone get north of 800 in the past year. Unless on eBay.

I sold a set of new Fiero Store repros for $900 ($1000 shipped). Plenty of people posted in my thread dogging my price, but one person messaged me and bought them...

to each his own, this set is extremely delaminated. if you just need a replacement because yours are broken these would work. If you need a replacement for a show car these wont work!

Its all supply and demand, GT fastback tail lights are worth what the top buyer will pay. Its like low mile GT's some people think their worth 10k+ others don't. To get a grand for a perfect set of tail lights is all about timing. If you want to sell them and not sit and wait then my average prices are where the market is at.

Yea, you`re right, I didn`t really notice the delamination upon first look but now I see.
Mine are in really good shape.
I`m going to be replacing mine with a single panel with the 4 cutouts for lights but you can bet I will be holding onto mine.

What exhaust tips are those? I have been trying to look for those ones but I don't know where to find them? are they straight or the same L bend as the original tips?

They are C5 or C6 Corvette tips.
I got mine from a company on Ebay that used to remove them from Corvettes but I think they are made by some aftermarket companies.
They have straight cut and slash cut.
Here are a few sellers.

I've seen a set with a lot worse delam go for $600 - so that's what I based my price on.
One person interested, so I guess he gets them...
Thanks everyone,

Slightly delaminated, as the first post stated. Extremely delaminated is far, far worse.

The problem with NOS tail lights is that they will delaminate more quickly now than they would have when new, and then will need the same repair that any set would need. So, for $600 for the lights, plus $200 for the repair, you could have a beautiful set that won't delaminate, or you could wait for a $900 set that will delaminate.

Disagree but to each his own. the delem is caused by the car sitting out in the sun most of its life. If you have a set of nearly new lights with no delam, so long as you don't leave the car outside for days on end with the hot sun beating on them, you will be fine.

The PFF member who was making them has not produced them in ages... I think he will never make them available again...

I was going to ask if I should start making the one-piece panel, but I see in another thread that someone is going to start making them again...
The person who said they wanted the taillights has not responded to two PMs. So they're still up for grabs. Or maybe I should restore them myself & put them on egay.
