So i wake up and get in the shower today,
my younger brother knocks on the door to tell me my father needs to talk to me.

this is out of the ordinary...
so i ask,
whats he wanna talk to me about?
and my chest sunk and i was short of breath,
(anyone who has had this happen)
"he said its about your car"
and there is why.

luckily its just the tail light and a MINOR blemish just above the tail.
so im sure ill be getting a touch up pen with this new light.

but what i wanted to know if anyone knew the best place to get a a left oem tail?

 

dealer? junkyard?

Sucks. Who backed into it?

 

the dealer wants $243.62 PER.
but it is really just the cover...
its just been cracked bad enough he had to tape it together.
and it was my father,
who has no cash, so im gonna have to foot the bill.
should i be looking at aftermarket pairs if i wanna save some cash?

 

found this...

any input / advice would be amazing and appreciated...

 

If you check the classifieds, I'm trying to unload the OEM tails for $100 shipped. Other than that, your best option is either aftermarket or search online junk yards for a single tail.

 

unless you want to pay out the ***, then yes. Aftermarket is much cheaper, and you can get rid of that super shiny fake *** chrome looking taillights the car comes with

 

what ya got now man?

 

Es.

 

figures

 

sucks man...go with the depo's tho. also how bad is the "blemish"? maybe a good detailer will be able to clean it up.

 

sucks to hear, i just got my car fixed the other day from an accident that happened in october. i like the es tails better but the depos will probably be cheaper.

 

nah, its actually a paint chip,
dont think that can be cleaned up.

otter, whats shipping usually go for from you to 14127?
(i did search the classifieds, but they are so hard to navigate i never found yours)

 

could of been worse!

 

Some drivers these days only have eyesight that enables them to see 10 ft away. Sucks to hear your story. Hope the repairs come to a minimum. And btw, not trying to pry you away from Otter's deal(which is a good deal imo), but I love the black housing tailights, I have em and it is worth the upgrade from OEM.

But for Otter's offer you can't beat that
