Why we can't have nice things.

If you decide to go OEM here is what I just bought because the same thing happened.

How about life is too short to be angry about something that happened that you can't do anything about but pick up and deal with it.

You can sit there and rant and rave, but it's not going to change anything. As small as that damage is the person who bumped into it probably had no idea they bumped it.

I agree completely with what you said "No fools fuck with someone else's shit". As you grow older you realize many things, and you will see at the end of it, I'm right.

 

I hope you got his plate number and busted him. I did when I saw a hit and run. The victim was very thankful when they found my note on their windshield with a vivid description of the perps vehicle.

 

As far as I think a better security option for the tailgate get this.

thanks unchained. But ill just go with the 50 cent hose clamp

 

Sounds good.

 

Go with Depo Black Led Tails! I love them.

 

I wish some one would steal my tailgate To many dents more then likely.

Then I would have no excuse for not building a new one.

 

If you're going to get new taillights, I'd personally get a pair of 12+ from somebody who is replacing theirs and then lamin-x them. You can choose the tint (from none to dark) and it's vinyl so it protects the light from minor impacts/scratches

Thanks, but I think I'd rather go with the Depo Blacks or something comparable.

 

I almost did this but in CA it is illegal to tint your tails.

 

Someone backed into the pass side door of my 94 Supra turbo 6-speed and ran leaving considerable damage. I don't even wanna post it up that's how much it sickens me. But life goes on and that's why I have full coverage. I don't think this "damage" is worth a new thread.

So yea, it could be worse.

 

Where did you get that flashlight clamp? Been looking for something like that.

 

Gotcha. They have clear film for headlights and fogs and clear bra for the bumper/hood...dont know why they don't have clear for the tails to help from dings. Red would look kinda funny I think.

 

Actually, that wasn't designed for a flashlight. It's a simple electrical clamp. Instead of using both holes, I only used one, using the seat belt bolt. (I had to drill it out a bit to fit). So the metal is easily flexed to fit. I think is was $2 ad change or less.

 

Nice flashlight mod. But I think if you go Husky's or Weathertech's it won't be able to stay like that. It might get in the way

 

I'll cross that bridge if I come to it. Thanks.

 

Just a heads up

 

That flash light mount is nifty might have to do that. First day at my unit I had some solder open his door and hit my truck. I was in my truck at the time and he didn't notice me he shut his door and walked off. I called him over and made him park all the way down the street away from anyone. I was livid people don't care at all these days. At least you didn't get a big dent. Id rather have a busted tail light than need body work any day.

 

easily replaced? the cost for a replacement ranges 300-500 bucks
