Gen 2.5 for Gen 2 Tail Lights -- Wanna Trade?

This was a thread in 6/07 on the West Coast. Let's try it on the other side.

I've decided I'd like to have the tinted upper tail lights for my 2008. Don't
want 'em enough to buy them. However, if they are interchangeable I will
trade for a good, clean 2nd Gen set.

Mine are just 3 months old, used daily but lovingly washed and waxed
regularly, not a scratch on 'em.

Will consider driving between North Carolina and New York (downstate)
for a quick turn around hot-swap.

Your light colored Gen II would look really good with Gen III lights.
Mystify your friends; sow confusion amongst your enemies.

Oops, still another newbie mistake! I'm getting good at that.

Thanks for the gentle correction.

 

Re: Gen III for Gen II Tail Lights -- Wanna Trade?

Thanks narf, interesting info that. If it was/is a widespread problem, I would think there would have been a recall. I see plenty of dark lenses in my area.

So, maybe I'll consider lights from north of the Mason-Dixon line as Grade
A, Primo Stuff.

Call me crazy, I'm still interested in a trade.

Boo,

Thanks for the input. You seem to "get" the spirit of this thing. It's not
a big deal. I've got an itch about wanting the darker lenses. Maybe there's
someone out there who want's to go the other way. There's no harm in
two of us -- consenting adults presumably -- getting what we want.

Thanks for bringing the cites for other options into the thread. As luck would
have it, I've looked at them all, each involves spending money-- $360 US
the pair, yikes!! -- that I'd rather use elsewhere, like maybe BT or Tom's
suspension goodies.

As to tinting films; I may be way out of date on this, but I've seem too many
exterior film applications that got frowsy looking over time -- splits/cracks
at the edges, bubbles, scratches, etc. That's not for me.

Gimme the real thing any day.
