Well, you tell me , haha if i can get away with it i will , thats what im asking. Are the GT and the Lx tail lenses much different looking. I dont mean the tail light if that makes a difference. I only broke the right lens.

Yes they look completely diffferent.. I dont know of anyone who makes the GT tail lights, I like mine and they are in very good condition, most switch to the LX's but I want to stay stock sleeper looking. Yes they are direct bolt on's as they are the same cars.. Hope this helps.. Get a new set (as in 2) of tail lights LX.. You will be happy with the turnout.

One of mine was all cracked so I just bought some altezza ones off ebay for $75 or so. Although they completely don't make your car look like a sleeper what so ever, I like them a heck of a lot better than my broken cheese graters.

I was thinking of trying the smoke myself! But to all you american guys or girls, feel lucky to have soo many option at your fingertips. I bought a few parts for 50 resto (amazing store) but i got taxed soo baddly, bored fees, and a few others that i didnt even care to remeber.

i would go to the junkyard and get a pair. i got mine for 12.00 per lense. they'll probally charge you for the whole tail light tho. but if you can get a descent pair or just one for 12.00. thats alot better than paying 75.00 for a brand new pair.
