Tail Light Broken.....
Well this morning I walked out to my car and found my far left tail light on my car had been broken. It was parked in my driveway last night and I live at the end of a culdesac but it actually looks like someone kicked it in. I have good neighbors so someone must have been on a mission. I'm glad they didn't do more. Guess I have some people that don't like the vette. Time to clean the garage out and get it in there. There is a nice black scuff on the back right underneath the lamp. Nothing else was touched but it definitely wasn't a good start to the Friday. Anyone know if napa or autozone will carry a replacement. I'm trying to see if my local chevy dealer has one in stock. Fun stuff!

Sorry to hear... Some people's kids!
In the 4-years I've owned my car, I can think of three nights I've left it out on the driveway. I certainly would be upset if someone done this to my car.
Good Luck w/ the repair and like you said, luckily they didn't do more damage. I think you'll find a replacement in the FS section of the forum rather quickly.

Appreciate all the help guys! Yeah I'm going to pick one up off good ole ebay or post up something in the classifieds section here. Now hopefully I can get that scuff off...

That sucks. Sorry to hear someone had to take out frustrations on your vette.
You can pick up individual lenses from various online Corvette vendors, however now may be a great time to consider the Halo LED tailights!

Sorry about the trouble but that would be the excuse for me to do the halos! Maybe I could come park in your driveway!

As others have mentioned this would be a great time to tell your S/O that they only make Halo tail lights so you have to upgrade 
But you might want to give the guys at corvette recycling a try as well

Sorry to read of your incident. Hope you make it work to your advantage.
Years ago (not here in Chico; bay area instead), I left my 'Vette outside for a few hours, during which time some neighborhood kids pulled the old nail under the tire trick. It took a few weeks to figure out who it was, but when I did, my 280 lb all muscle bodybuilder son (I'm half his weight) went over there and had a "chat" with their "father".
4 new tires at his expense.

Thanks for the heads up! I'll shoot you a pm.
I definitely wish I could get halo's right now haha, I think I'm just going to get this one replaced but might have to break one in the future myself to get some halo's If i knew who it was I would have been all over them, or at least get some of my friends who are twice my size to get a message across. But not too worried about, only a taillight, at least they didn't key it. It's safely tucked away in the garage now. But mark my words if I see someone snooping around I'll definitely scare the hell out of them...

You won't find one at the local auto parts store. Maybe give Gene at gmpartshouse.com a call and see if they can get one to you fast. Either that, or try and find one on e-bay or in the parts for sale section.
