taillight conversion

Could someone suggest a reputable body shop that would do a quality install of RSX taillights into the back of my 89 civ hatch for a descent price? I just need the work done, no paint job, just the body work for now. I was told the body work would be somwhere around $200 or so to have them molded in. Email me with suggestions please... Hippopotapig@hotmail.com and or a price to do the conversion. Thanks.

That sounds a little cheap? $200??
I would expect something more like $1000 considering the time that needs to go into the job.

I can do it for $200 if you want.
I will spend a whole hour on them, hacking away with a saw and axe. They might fit with a bit of duct tape.

The taillights are virtually the same shape, plus im just gettint the install done, no paint. That should reduce the cost. Im located in burlington. And about hacking them and duct tape, thanks but..ummm NO.

He used 3. So technically if you distribute them all over his post, it should be alright.

Last time I checked we aren't writing essays here and we're not in english class, so why do periods really matter anyways?

I like reading long posts with periods so I know where to break up the sentences., it makes it easier on the eyes. Just my opinion tho
