I've always liked round tail lamps. My Mazda REPU, Lotus Elan, Mini Moke, and others have them. I was very disappointed when the Corvette lost them!
So it's natural for me to like the look of the 911R tail lamps. Rebel Racing makes replicas of the late 60s 911R race lamps using period-correct Hella lamps. When I realized what the stock G-model tail lamp housings weigh, I liked the round ones even more! I wanted a set in carbon fiber.
Unfortunately, Rebel Racing had problems with their supplier of carbon. On top of Covid nonsense!
After a good part of a year waiting while I worked on other things, I went with the fiberglass housings in the video.
As soon as I got them, I did not like the way they went together in the one page instructions. To say "some assembly required" is an understatement with these, and I bet many kits are destroyed in step 1... involving a 2 3/4 inch hole saw and brittle fiberglass! I'm not sure what happens with carbon.
If you do cut 4 perfect holes, you are left with a small rim in which to mount the Hella fixtures from the back (ok, technically the front of the car) side, using the extra-long but tiny lens screws provided with the kit. Imagine if you have to change a bulb!
Watch the video for a better solution. And how to perfectly match the contour of the body when fitting to the car...
