Last time I went nosing around a junkyard I didnt find shit for my truck, so I told a buddy dont waste his time there. Two days later he calls me back saying he just got back from the same yard with red Recaro seats, practically brand new, cheap as shit, and clean as fuck.

FML.

^~ damn that sucks. I have had some good scores throughout the year. Just trying to broaden my search to of makes and models. Just didnt know whats worth a damn. I have always remained with Nissan and Honda's.

I would pull all of the stock Honda tail lights I could find... cause there's always people stupid enough to pay you double what you got them for at the junk yard.

Also, I noticed a long time ago, people don't seem to take the lights unless both are there/unbroken. Dummies.
