keep in mind that the lower middle piece is like $90 new... you can modify the lower metal piece, but just know oem one sits at a different depth. iirc, it wont sit flush with the middle garnish.. but you really can't tell unless you're really up close

Buy the tails for 300 and then go online and find the lower garnish piece, dont try to modify it yourself, just incase you want to switch the tails back for any reason.

Lol I pray they are still ^ that cheap when i get my broke a** around to saving up 400+ for a completely unnecessary (but very stylish and desired) cosmetic upgrade. Hopefully tax return-ish time.

Have they gone up in price in the last few years? I ordered my second set a few years ago for just over $300 shipped from....hell I can't remember, but they do have a good rep here on NICO. Somewhere in Connecticut I think. 240sx Motorsports? I don't know, it will come back eventually.

just wait, advertisers have that on sale once a few months. I would rather get a new set for 400 other than 300 for a uncomplete used set.

nope, that wont do it. you will never be able to get the us trim to fit perfectly. you can easily make it work by gently hammering the trim where the curve of the taillights is, but it will still be inset. even with some sort of spacer wont work because by the time the top is flush the bottom is hanging out. the jdm trim has a crease half way up so that its flush every where
