Yeah, but I don't have any tools or any skills to know how to do that on my own...lol.

Plus the pictures are misleading. The pictures are really bad and the car is really dirty so you can't see how bad the scratches are, it looks worse in person. The is paint chipping from the bumper and the scratches are nail deep. I don't think rubbing compound will take those scratches off. Plus the bumper is off alignment with the quarter panel and trunk.

you know i didnt even notice the tail light was cracked.

To be honest i think it looks really nice without the red lens on top.
you could break the other sides red lens off and put red led bulbs in there.
and then you will have an es300 with clear tails. =)
