Installing EVO VII tails...

got mine in the mail today... 4 days from Japan...

anyone give me any install tips...? is it a direct hook up with the wiring and all...?

they came with some screws and grommets... do i just re-use the stock hardware...?

i'm about as mechanically inclined as a pencil...

I just kept those packages and used the existing screws. No biggie. Pop your trunk, remove the 2 screws attaching the taillamp, unplug the harness once its almost out, and comes out easy. Takes 5 minutes dude.

OMG, I was able to do this in the dark, with a flashlight in my mouth. Seriously, takes 5 minutes and it makes the car look 10X better.

send an email to JSPECTUNE@AOL.COM

this guy is really cool. he lives in japan and hooked me up with a set for ~$300 minues the shipping. When I received mine, one corner was chipped off, but he gladly sent me another one FREE of charge! He is a real good guy to work with. I was really pleased.

If you do email him, tell him Jeremy sent ya! lol
