just like brady said stylin concepts. you can do the caddy lights like you said. shave the lights first and then cut out for the buckets. i have tried body filler and stuff but kittie hair always worked best for me.

A friend of mine had this done at a shop I was working at, what the bodyman did was cut the end off of a cadillac, the whole area around the tail light, since it was fiberglass from the factory, I believe. He then leveled and flushed the Cadillac factory bucket, and glassed it in, with resin and chopped mat, and then made fillers out of mat and resin to finish the job. He then glassed and kitty haired it all together, been done for 2-3 years, no cracks or lifts.
