SAFETY REFLECTOR...

Is this a Standard feature, or has the Previous Owner put it there???

Yer we get the stupid looking 3rd brake light, i've removed mine though.

I have two, you want one?? lol

Have never seen this reflector on any calibras, so i'd say previous owner.

It's not such a bad idea then, being that the Calibra doesn't have Door Lights as Standard...

The 'Centre Brake Light' is a Legal Requirement here in Australia, for all vehicles Post 1990...

that third brake-light looks gash, i would rather have a spoiler with the brake-light built in if it was a requirement

I appreciate the suggestion, but I don't really like the flatness of it...

I actually dislike most of the Calibra Rear Spoilers I've seen...

Except for this one!!!

I like it's Style and Shape...

It looks like a dodgy copy of a VR/VS Commodore wing

Nice One...

I thought it looked familiar...

I wish there was a 'Rear Spoiler' for the Calibra, that looked like this...

If you are dead set on one of the commodore wings, buy one.

Cut out the centre so it's not as wide, rejoin to suit the calibra.
