Default Someone hit my car... Upgrades?

Its not a bad accident, all I have to do is wait for my insurance to give me an estimate.



I don't want to replace the left tail light with a stock tail light, I want to take this advantage and buy after market tail lights. Can anyone recommend any good tail lights, and maybe a place where I can buy a new or good condition used rear bumper?

97+ tail lights is the only way to keep it clean. aftermarket ebay lights will make your car look cheap and crappy ... like civics lol

everything you need can be found in the classifieds section. 95 or 97 tails, and bumper can both be had for fairly cheap...forgot to add, pm Aliga. He is the go-to guy for good oem parts. I have ordered a few things from him, and everything was more than what I expected, and he ships very quickly.

What color is your bumper? is it new or used? I also heard that the style of the body of the car changed at 98+ So is this the new or the old style rear bumper? I have a 1999 sc400.

If the lights are cracked id get the 95-96 tails, and a 97+ bumper. Thats just my opinion though.

And you can ask anyone here, there are no good looking aftermarket tails avaliable for our cars that dont cost like $2000. lol
