Turbo Tail rust
 
Over the last year or so i noticed the rubber lip on my turbo tail started warping in some areas. After picking at it, I noticed there was a good amount of rust inside the rubber.

1. do i need a new rubber only, or a new rubber + tail.

2. The lip which the rubber bolts on to... Is that fiber glass? Im concerned that the lip itself on the tail is rusted out also. (Picture below is from google images, not my car)

It is possible to replace the studs / repair rust inside the rubber:

Thats a good read! I actually found a replacement rubber lip locally from a pelican. My concern was that the actual tail was rusted as well, but i assume the entire tail is fiber glass so i should be fine [emoji106]
