    I found a set of Bobcat tails today, now I just need to find a maverick. LOL
    Wish these things would fit my Comet.

    Not sure how the comet lights hook up, but i would guess they didn't drill more holes and cut more out of the tail panel.

    Good question!

    Comet taillight panel is quite different from the Mavericks.

    you are right...there wasn't really a question.

    I was just wondering how the comet taillight panel looked under the lights.

    Acornridge cleared that up for me, Thanks!!!

    So, the bobcat lights won't cover all that crap up?

    Besides the difference in the openings and bolt holes. The raised area that the lights mount to on the Comet, does not run the full length of the rear panel the way it does on a Maverick.

    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    I tried selling mine once but no one would bite. I've only seen one set in the past five years in my area. So you would figure they would be somewhat rare.
