I got the tails on my e90 lci painted a smoked look and i'm kind of wishing I didn't... Is there any way I could remove the paint without damaging the lights ?

Trade them on here for some stock ones.. plenty of people probably interested in these.

You're pretty much screwed You could try scratch polish and see if you can polish it off, but you'd more than likely mess up the tails doing so. Maybe one of those headlight cover polishing kits? Should be gentle enough to take a layer off but not so much to ruin the tail covers?

Yeah I have them up but nothing so far

Hang in there. Also, don't make the same mistake I did and try to overprice them. Do your research, hit a sweet spot with the price point. I pretty much blackballed myself trying to sell OEM parts based on the dealer value this way, not realizing everyone and their mother has them
In the end, I just said anyone who wants to pick up a 328 E92 OEM exhaust system, OEM tails, Grilles, and intake from NJ just name your price and come get it
STILL nothing

Haha yeah right now Im just looking for a straight swap because I dont have another set of tails I could use so it makes it a little harder
