So like many others here, I hated the way our stock tail lights looked. I wanted something different, something that was not chrome. I met a guy on here, several years ago, who was trading in his car. He had some custom red out tails. They looked pretty good. I traded my stock lights for them and I was very happy. However, after about a year one of the lights started to fade considerably. By the beginning of this year it was like I had one red light and one orange light. It looked horrible. Here is a picture of the good light off of the car. I can't find any pictures of them on the car, if I find any I will post them.
My plan was to purchase some more stock lights and have them painted again. So I bought some off of here. Well the guy stated in the listing that one of the lights had a crack on it, he said nothing major. So, I decided not to ask for pics.
. Turns out that the small crack was actually pretty big, and lets in tons of water. So they were pretty useless, as far as my project went. I decided to wait around for a good deal. I found a guy on craigslist who had some SE-R tails that he would trade for stock ones, plus cash obviously. I asked if he would take my broken one, he said HELL NO. Finally after a few days of trying to find some cheap lights I could buy then trade for the SE-Rs, I found some on craigslist. The listing said that they were lightly smoked and in the picture, the chrome part appeared to be a tad bit darker than stock. I offered them 40 since they wanted 75. I was just trying to keep my costs down, since I still had to put up cash for the SE-Rs. I go pick them up today and I was in for a surprise, these were SE-R tails.
I think I got a sweet deal.

Sorry for the long post, I am just excited about my purchase.
