Estate Tail lights...cheap find
I was at Pull a Part today looking for a tps for my 91 RX7 convertible and ran across a 96 850 Estate that had just arrived. This 850 was a total dog but I noticed the tail lights looked good so I took a closer look and they looked NEW!
I removed them from the car and took them to the counter expecting to pay $20 per piece x4 but the cool chic, that I flirt with, was at the counter and she let me have them for $20 per side. I got all four pieces for less than $44. Woohoo!!
It was weird because my 850 Platinum looks like it was garaged it's entire life except for the tail lights that are faded and spider cracked and this piece of crap in the junk yard had faded and cracked paint but perfect tail lights. They had to have been replaced recently.
I was planning to buy all new tail lights on Ebay for $50 each x4 in the next couple weeks so this was like X-mas early for me.

It would definitely look better. I had a 97 Eclipse and the plastic headlights were so faded barely any light would pass through. I got one of those lens buffing kits from AutoZone and it worked amazingly well.
