wasn't there a DYI somewhere on this forum on how to do that? It looked like a PITA, but still doable if you really want the clear lens. I also think the 01+ are better

ahh yes... the only thing is u can do the LED mod with pre 01' taillights a lot easier since theres different bulbs for brake and lowbeam light, where as the 01' + are dual filament bulb.

There is a diy here on how to do it if you search. I think the 01+ tails look 1000x better than the old ones. For a little more than that you can get new 01+ tails. I would go that route

Well, since you're in Cali also, and IFFFF you still want to buy it, email him and tell him you want to pay it and pick it up in person. See what he says.
Last time I emailed him (b/c too many members were asking about this guy also) to see if he has a store front. He doesn't have one, he says he lives in Irvine. That's the only info I have on this guy.

Otherwise, the +01 are better

Paypal wont give him an account because of his bad rep. He had one under his last name. He ripped to many people off. Those arent even his pics. He links them from the Yahoo Japan auctions and there not his either
