Rear license area filler?

[jonstr]

A question for you ZR1 owners out there. I've had a 91 and 93 ZR1 in the past, but I can't recall this for sure. Isn't there a black plastic filler panel on the rear bumper that goes between the backup lights? This would fill the gaps on each side of a standard US license plate.

If there is, could someone tell me what the dimensions of that filler plate are? I'm trying to determine if that piece will fit in the same area of a Callaway Aerobody.

Josh,

Yes there is. I can tell you that between the license plate and the backup light, it is approximately 2 inches wide and 6.5 inches tall on each side.

Thanks Rob. The gap on the sides of my plate are a bit wider, about 3". Would it be possible for you to measure the distance between your back up lights? Mine measures 17.5".

If the space on the ZR1 is the same or greater, I can make the part work. If it is less than that, I'll have to fabricate something.

Thanks again.

Mine measures 16" between backup lights.

Rats. I guess I'll have to look at making something. Shouldn't be too tough, all I really need is a flat sheet of textured plastic to fit behind the plate. I just want something to cover the spaces surrounding the license plate. Right now they're body color (yellow) and it just doesn't look right.

Thanks for the quick response!

jonstr... I wanted to let you know that Rob may not see this immediately because (I think) he's on his way to Carlisle and I'm not sure when he'll check in. I'm glad Aurora was able to give you an answer.

what about just painting it black?

Mostly because I don't want to spray it until I'm sure I want that look.

Better yet, I found someone who already has it done. This was posted in the Callaway forum, so I think I'm good.

This isnt so much a filler panel as its the plate holder.

Why would anybody put this tire/wheel setup on a Callaway?

Maybe it's easier to armor-all the treads if they are outside the bodywork?

Sounds good to me.:cool

...Or maybe like me they look at it and see nothing wrong with it. :L

To each his own.
