I'm sure you can pay someone to do them, it that's what you're asking. It really wasn't all that hard. I did it myself, there are many write ups on how to do it, and the turn around time would be a lot faster. I think I did mine in less then 2hrs.

Contact Ryan Wolfe. He is the first person to start doing these years ago....he is extremely professional and does a great job. You can PM him, his username is "rx7even". I'm sure dozens of forum members can vouch for his work and professionalism, including myself.

Is there any way to replace the outside plastic? I have a weird sorta burn mark looking ding on my tailight. I want to do the 99 cheap conversion, but I wouldnt want to keep that mark. Anyone know?

you may be able to wet sand it down. It's a pretty thick plastic, but it all depends on how bad the mark is.

Mazdatrix has replacement tail light covers, of course they charge $188 for them. Why dont you try contacting Ray and see if he sells them.

If you wanna replace them, my best guess would be that while someone is converting their tails, and while the tail light assembly is apart, one would just replace the existing cover for the new one. But then again, thats just my best guess.

Thanks for the tips, I dont think it could be sanded it looks deep... and 188 for a replacement is too much, may as well buy a replica.
