hey Ed, love the wheels. Try ebay for taillights. I dont know if anyone else sells them.
you can always check www.protegegarage.com for oem and aftermarket stuff. Ken has everything just about.

Good looking car man, love the hood (try to see if you can tell why). I have CF tails (well, plastic-painted to look like CF, but they do a good job) and I found them on e-bay. I paid like $99 for them plus a little shipping. It sounds like a lot, but considering that I was quoted $119 for just ONE oem tailight, it was a great deal and they look good. Keep up the good work and representing the all-powerful Protege.

[QUOTE=zerocover]Lovin the blacked tail lights. Howd you do it?[/QUO
believe it or not its rattle can. its called nightshades and i bought it at O'reilys and it cost about 15 and u have to special order it. all i did was took them off cleaned them scuffed them sprayed it on till they got how i wanted let them dry and clear coated them with automotive clear. i shot the clear with a paint gun so thats why it looks so good cuz i used actual automotive paint i did the same with the interior.

Seems to be in NY.
I bought a can of niteshades when i did a test spray on some clear plastic. It tuned out all purple. I would want a real black.

no offense but please tell me u didn't pay for those "new" headlights when u could have done that yourself for the price of a can of spray paint. Tail lights are nice.
