On the rear tail light chrome, was the border blacked out or not? I have seen some with and with out. On the C/S I found some black left on the originals, but John came by today and said it should not be blacked out. Also, what about a fuel splash guard? I found no signs of one on the car, but I would think it should be there? Pic show yellow arrows where my two question are referring to. Thanks for any help.

No fuel splash guard, but there is a rubber strip (about 2"x18-24" IIRC) that helped black out the license lamp from shining up onto the back tail panel... used on non GT/CS not 100% sure if it was used on these or not..

Thanks guys, I always believed it was a fuel shield. I have one but just not sure if a C/S should have it.
