I would be very grateful for some info & ideas.

My '92 Laser RS had sat in the drive for nearly 4 years. Thanks to Frank Wise, the Phoenix MitsuMD, she got up & running, passed emission, and made a 2400 mile relocation to Virginia Beach. So I went for an inspection in "The Commonwealth" & the minorly broke & cracked tail lens that has been on the car since I picked it up in San Fran in '03 (& lord only knows how long it was like that b4 I bought it) MUST be replaced. So I call the graveyard, they had a complete mitsubishi assy & said it would work. It got here yesterday, & to my surprise, I have a 1-3/4 gap between the assy & my bumper.:ohdamn:

So here's the meat & potatoes: 1) is this 1-3/4" strip something that should be there that I can easily find (I already left a message & sent an e-mail to the graveyard about this). 2) Do any of you have it? :pray: 3) Do I just cut & dremel the 1-3/4" strip off the bottom of my laser assy & silicone & gorilla tape it to the mitsu assy???

Thanx guys,
Rach:banghead:
 
sorry man, I slapped the orig's back in there until I could figure out what was gonna happen.

OK, so in the pick, the reflective strip that runs around the bottom of the original assembly is not a part of what I received from DSM Graveyard, which gives me a gap of that size. The mitsu assy is only the size of the upper portions of the Plymouth assy.

I've been outta the car mod life for a few years doing school... :(

I think we have a couple of Lasers at a salvage yard around here that'd have what you'd need. I should be due for a trip to them within this coming week. My buddy has a 2g Talon and he's having issues so he's in need of parts. But, I'll check them out and see if they have the part you need and I can snag one for you. I'm in Newport News, but I'm always making trips to VB on the weekends.
 
While you're there, I could use a drivers side like the one in the picture. Let me know how much shipped to 32117. Add in $20 for your trouble.
 
Hey man if you get on vadsm.com were all local guys there and we got people who can help you find what you need(or already have it on parts cars) and help get you a deal on a inspection ok man.
