Default Removing brake light

How tough would it be to fill the holes left by the 3rd brake light if I removed it? I like the way the 84's & 85's look better. Looks more sleek.

Little bit of filler, little bit of paint. It shouldn't be a big job.

Like Scorp said, mine is history. Its on Kale's car now.

I filled it with fiberglass, but the panel is metal, so you can see the circles if you're looking for them, but most people will never see them.

I wouldn't recommend bondo because it would undoubtedly seperate from the impact of shutting the glass.

Hey, what can I say, I like deleting stuff. http://www.corvetteforum.net/c5/noworries/antenna.jpg
