If you take your tail lights out and give them to a body shop, I think most places charge like $100 to paint them.

I'd say you have 3 possible options:
1) Keep the OEM lights in case you decide to go back to the OEM look and get the old ones repainted.
2) Sell the ones you just bought and get the old ones repainted.
3) Paint the new ones and sell the old ones.

Personally I'd go with option 2 because that could get you like 3 more tank fulls of gas in the Z

b1adesofcha0s · 02-01-2013, 07:56 PM

Or 2 tanks of gas and a Costco membership
