Angry Scratch on my taillight lens

I was putting a bicycle into the trunk of my 13 GT/CS when the front forks scratched the taillight lens ! Does anyone know of a way I can make the scratch less visible ?

that is an expensive taillight to scratch lol. You can buff them just like you can paint, if you have a porter cable try some m105 on it. You can try wetsanding and buffing if it is really deep, I had to do that on my 06 once.

They're trash. I'll give you $300 for them.

Yeah we need pics to see how bad it is... And to be able to offer the correct steps that you can take until then...

Any update on this? I just bought a pair off Ebay for $599. I couldn't pass it up for that price. They're lightly scratched, but the pictures make them look very lightly scratched. I'll try some M105 or 205 and see what I can do.


If I completely disappear, it's because my wife killed me.
