Default Design cue

The interior light in the B- piler on my 96 has never looked like it really fit in with the rest of the car to me. Now I think I know why. Its a design cue that plays off the original C4 fender Gills and wasnt updated when the interior changed in 90 or when the body changed in 91. I try to imagine what a 91 and up interior light would look like if it had been changed with the fender gills when they went thinner and horizontal that year or if they would have been updated with the subtle 95 gill change and interior changes. Has any one seen any custom light covers for the B-Piler?

I've never heard of any, but to be honest you're the first person I've ever heard of that even noticed that is was out of place. For me I hardly notice I even have lights back there!

Yet another advantage to owning a vert.

If that is all you have to worry about then you're living the good life.
