    I wanted some pictures and key dimensions of the spaced out lights and frame for the rear. My car is missing the strakes and the black frame around the lights has been modified. I am trying to see if I can rig up some spacers to push the lights outs. The frame and end cap will be a tougher proposition.

    I am enclosing pictures and dimensions of my light as they stand today. I need the equivalent for the Speciale.

    Specifically:
    1) Distance between tail light and rear frame: 3.25" in my case (see picture 1)
    2) Distance between tail light and rear bumper: 3" in my case ((see picture 1)
    3) distance between black plastic screw head on the inner frame: 3" in my case (see picture 2)

    looks good! Is it just me or do the lights droop down towards the center? the top of the light cluster does not look parallel to the floor...

    My lights always drooped a little inward - see the first set of pictures. I guess bringing the lights out has accentuated it. There is a slight droop with the regular Speciale as well - see the picture below shows. But the droop here has been concealed by the horizontal strakes in the center section (behind the horsie).

    I don't think mine droop, and I just happen to have some extra end caps. So PM me if you can't find any, you may just be able to get me to part with a pair! :)

    It looks great. Mine have a slight droop. I have yet to see a SS without a slight droop. Again, it looks great. ;)
