Default Bad Fit Steel Roll Pan

I have a 96 ram
I ordered a steel roll pan with Toyota supra tail lights from FBI Rides
The tail light openings were all off (lights fit like crap)
Then the clearance for the tail gate is all wrong (totally rubs can’t open the tail gate)
I had to majorly modify my tail gate to allow for open clearance
Anyone else have this situation

On some of them have a cut-out where the license plate is and the plate is on a spring hinge, so the hitch is concealed.

I just had a cool idea. Forget about the Supra headlights, not so much Dodgey... Replace them with some taillights from a 68-70 Dodge Charger. That would look much cooler.

I know that, but I see no such provision in this case. Also, if you look at the hitch in the 1st pic, it is weird. The receiver part is mounted on top of the crossmember. If it were mounted below then the hitch stick would go in under the roll pan as it would be below the body line. Strange.

At first i wondered how you were gonna get supra lights to fit in the stock location and how welding a patch in the old corner lights would help any.. then I realized what you had done..

This gonna be a show truck or something?

Do you see the faint lines shaped like a box. Maybe there is a provision and they just dont ship then with it cut out incase you dont have a hidden hitch.
