Over the years its gotten deformed, etc. Anyone know what to do with this? Just glue it back on? lol. Also, what's involved in painting the centerpiece?

I say ducktape the thing, that'll look real neat. J/K but just go to a junkyard and swap the center pieces with an lx or ex of the year 90-91 cause they're different. Thats how I replaced my warped std center piece.

remember you cant paint over silicone. take it off the car and glue it with some two part epoxy and put something heavy on it while it drys to keep it together.

mine did that, put some caulk on it but water was still finding it way inside the center tail light. my driver side tail light was leaking water too, so i bought the whole set over at ebay for 30 bucks in pretty good condition :D. try looking at the junkyard, you might get lucky.

All the euro center pieces for the hatchback are crap. The euro tails themselves look better than the center piece on there. Just keep the stock one on there.
