Does anyone have pictures or could take pictures of the rear of the '74-'76 Eldorado tail light fillers? I'm trying to make 3D models of these parts and I have not found a good reference for what that part is actually supposed to look like on the back side.

Here’s a link to a webpage I created as a guide to installing rear fillers.
I need to edit it to remove E and K as a source.

Personally I don’t think 3D printing will be a viable option for this as these parts are being made already. There are other sources for these.
Stick with the those that make them in the ABS material, not fiberglass.
With enlarging the mounting holes you can get a good fit.

Good luck

While the current ABS parts are much better than the fiberglass parts, they are still a poor replacement for the real thing. I have a real GM rear fender extension and a reproduction ABS version and there are vast differences between the two parts. I will have my first prototype printed fender extension done soon for test fitting. It will be printed out of ABS also so it should be quite strong.

I have a NOS rear extension available. Can’t remember which side it is at this writing

Extension or tail light filler?
