Default A new addition to the family

yesterday, I picked up a 95 with around ~190k miles. Only problem is that it's being hit in the back. So I need to fix it. It was too pretty to let it be junked! I got it for $1000. I need rear 95+ tail lights, rear truck and bumper, so if you know where I can get these for a decent price or maybe even have one lying around. Do let me know. thanks. I will try and take and put up pictures tomorrow. The only thing that kinda of irks me is that it's black same color as my current LS. So no one will even be able to tell that I have a second car. Tho they differ.

yeah, all the doors open and close perfectly. gaps are good the guy was just frustrated that's why he didn't decide to fix it. he cancelled his full coverage, and the next day some girl runs into him.

i need tail lights, if you have any or know of anywhere i can score em for cheap, let me know. thanks.

if some girl runs into him her insurance pays for it, regardless of what coverage (since it would be the bare minimum required; collision.

not in michigan. michigan is a no fault state.
if someone hits you or you hit someone, you better have full coverage or else you are going to get $0.

because no-fault states in my opinion make having insurance completely and totally worthless.

yeah, i love the black on black. my other ls is tan on black or is it black on tan? lol. and the interior has a newer feel from 95 than the 90. so after i fix this, ifit runs great for a year. I will probably sell the old ls.
