Whenever you go to Italy with your ZR-1, be sure your anti theft equipment is okay.
Never let the car alone. Me for my part I would never drive a Corvette to Italy,
especially not a ZR-1. I have to say I like some Italian cars. I would like to get
one day an Alfa Romeo Montreal V8. The car was built from 1970-1977. Its V8
is amazing, 2.6 litre, 4 overhead cams, dry sump, fuel injection and 200 hp! This was great at that time with such a small V8.
My wife drives a new Abarth 500. Small car, but really fast. If I would have already one, I would never drive
a Montreal to Italy, nor an Abarth 500, never an outstanding car.
A normal Fiat, yes!
By the way, I never liked these Europeans lights on Corvettes. In my opinion
they are ugly!

I think that the first part of your message is OFF TOPIC, and i don't want continue to be OFF TOPIC....

We was speaking of tail light...
OK...i need to do this midify because here in Italy the totally red lenses are illegal....
I think my modify is the right compromise between totally red or external orange lens and internl red lens (orrible for me)

Thomas ZR-1 · 02-05-2013

Yes...sure but you can buy Europian tail lights at corvette central or ecklers. This are complete lamps not only lenses...have a look:

But, do you have see how much are that?
I have Reprodutc the same tail light (home made...are not so nice as that in picture) using original tail light...so much less expensive!!!!

Thomas ZR-1 · 02-05-2013

The picture is from corvette central:

TAILLIGHT - EUROPEAN STYLE

Item# 4941671991-1996

$129.95 EACH

quite expensive but fits perfect

max76 · 02-05-2013

Thomas:
129.95$*4=519.8$+shipping+27% (italian tax)

You must buy also the new harness: 200$

I think the total is about 820$ (with shipping)
In Italy you take the price in euro and add the tax: 605euro+27%=about 770 euros

For me so much expensive...
My tail light fit perfectly too!!!!

$520 for the tail lights + $60 for the shipping is $580...this are 445 Euro + the Italian taxes: 567 Euro. The original tail light harness is very easily to modify, you won`t need a new one...it`s no problem.

Hi Nelson

Augsburg is in the deep south of Germany...that`s not my area, but: BEWARE OF LARGER COMPANIES (Geiger in Munich) AND SHOPS! They will take your money but they don`t have the needed knowledge for a those kind of special cars. Look for a small specialized shop, RENZ US CARS in Jettingen should be a good choice in your area. In my region (north-west) I know the specialists but that would be 600 km from you.

Btw...I´m the only mechanic that works on my car...my job is my hobby, I´m a master mechanic and I´m empolyed in a company for engine development.

Gruß, Thomas

Hallo Thomas,
Thanks for the information. My 95 Z just arrived this morning. This is the one I'm thinking of shipping to Germany. When I'm able, I want to make sure the car is running good. I would probally ship it to Bremerhafen are you near there?
Danke
Lieben Gruß
