Think the rear reflector is a fashion that has come and gone.

The cars that still have them have that "period" vibe.

Nothing wrong with that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I like the reflector look, but like the stock look better. Thanks to Oscar, for helping me fill the holes and put it back to stock. I still have the reflector and solenoid collection. Mine was a cut down 911 reflector. I was going to bring it to the next swap meet.


Steve - looking to remove the loose/cracked reflector from my car. Any tips,on how you filled the holes to return to stock?

Thanks - Joe

Oscar had a washer assortment. He tack welded the washer in and then found a smaller washer to fill the center washer hole. Then mig welded everything in including the small washer center hole. The rest was bondo, primer and paint.

These days If I wanted the rear reflector I would use magnetic strips to hold it on versus the big holes. This way you could easily remove it.

I’ve had one for more than 20 years, on the shelf, I can’t bring myself to drill holes that aren’t factory. It’s a great looking piece but holes?

The first one that I installed late 70's had the lettering in black. When the later '84-'89 Carreras came out with the "Ghost" lettering I switched out the early reflector for the Carrera unit. Simple measure + trim the (too long) 911 reflector, left and right sides. I sourced the 12v solenoid at an electric supply house>>still working* The French rear tail lights are the bees knees !
*I also utilize an emerg pull-line...for when the solenoid (eventually) goes kaput.

I like the reflector. It kind of ties the back lights together. Almost like the back of a Rivian.
