Tail light surrounds

Thanks guys, one more question, do all the surrounds fit or do you need to somehow reshape them to fit the body shape? thanks again

The lugs on the surrounds are pretty brittle, I've seen a few with one or two lugs broken off, and silicone used to hold a corner etc, you want the lugs all lining up nice and straight with the holes, if one or more have to even slightly bend to fit in, under even mild tension, then the ones under tension will very easily, and (I think) usually, snap off, thus defeating the purpose of tryna get it right. Not a biggy, but these parts are getting less common now.

P.S. Thanks to Nocturne and Taily (above) for correcting my memory regarding those fasteners. I wonder if Rares could do em, these would seem so cheap to manufacture, but, if Rares are are watching I reckon an even better option would be an improved aftermarket tail light surround with threaded lugs. !!
