tail light fillers?

Anyone know any companies that make steel fillers for our tails? I'm thinking about shaving them.

Never seen it done nor have I ever heard of a company that has a ready made product for your application.

Here's a pic of mine next to my buddies with shaved tails. His was like that when he got it. Body work is perfect, cant tell there was ever a light there. I think they look clean, however i think I want to keep my bumper, and I'm not sure what it'll look like with a bumper vs a roll pan.

The Excursion has different shaped lights than the pickups. Those may require modification...

I wonder if you could find the filler for the Econoline if that would be a direct fit. I believe the tail lights are a match.

They are but who pimps out Econolines in such a manner as to create enough demand for these fillers?

It's a pretty simple curve. I would imagine any craftsman worth his salt could fab up fillers in no time.

Does have a different look, but here in VA and alot of other states I think you would be driving a "pull over" vehicle

Yeah, my first response was going to be "Is that even legal?" but it looks like there are lights mounted below the roll pan. As high as he's lifted, they look about the right height.

Of course, there are states where you could be pulled over just for sitting that high.

Yeah now that I look I see the back-up lights, and with the old eyes didn't notice the white inclosure next to the back-up lights, probably brake lights

If you have the skill to weld in the panels, fill them, and paint them you should be able to bend a sheet of metal around a pipe to make them.
