Product Description:
Hawks Motorsports is proud to offer our clients this : 1979-1981 Pontiac Trans Am RH/LH Smoked Tail-Lamp Lens and Gold-Emblem Fuel-Door Kit, OER R278144.
Restore the complete rear appearance of your Trans Am with this comprehensive OER reproduction tail-lamp lens and fuel-door kit. It includes the driver- and passenger-side tail-lamp lenses, center smoked fuel door, operating hinge and spring, and gold-and-black Firebird bird emblem.
Each injection-molded lens is manufactured to duplicate the original configuration, fit, appearance, and detailing. The outer tail-lamp lenses feature the correct smoked finish, factory-style black accents, and authentic OEM-style markings. Inner red stop-lamp lenses and clear backup-lamp lenses are supplied for both sides.
The center fuel door includes the hinge and tension spring, along with the correct gold-and-black Firebird emblem for applicable Trans Am models. OER also specifies five lens-to-housing retaining clips with the kit.
This is a lens and fuel-door restoration kit. Tail-lamp housings, bulb sockets, wiring, and bulbs are separate.
OER catalogs R278144 specifically for 1979-1981 Pontiac Trans Am models equipped with the gold Firebird fuel-door emblem. It is not the appearance-correct emblem configuration for Base Firebird, Esprit, or Formula models requiring a silver-and-black rear bird emblem.
