86 tailights on 87?

is it possibly to put 86 tail lights on an 87 without fabrication? i haven't had time to see what would be involved.

i love the old ones... i think they have much more character.. the light bar on the 87 just seems to leave me wanting more shape and style.

Most people? Like who? MOST people hate the newer tails.

And I seriously can't believe this question was asked (again). How do people not look at the tail lights and not realize THE REAR PANEL DOESN'T UNBOLT FROM THE CAR?

No. How about you go look at your car before asking stupid questions. Seriously. LOOK AT THE CAR FIRST.

you know what zbum... i respect you for your extensive knowledge on these cars. but i certainly do not respect your ability to go out of your own way to make people feel like an idiot for asking a simple question. thank you for your answer but i would appreciate it if you would just refrain from being abrasive. i plan on asking you many more questions and some of them might just be stupid.. sorry.. i don't know anything about these cars that's why i joined this forum.

It's not hard. Just before you ask a question, look at your car and think about it. YOU make YOU look like an idiot when you ask questions that show you haven't put any thought into them.
