Default Stainless Tail light covers

Anyone interested in these? They are just not my style. I bought some parts and they were included. I have no clue what they're worth, which is why I haven't posted them in the For Sale section, because I don't know what to ask for them.

Any help would be appreciated.

I don't think those are stainless. They look like they are the ones that are chrome plated billet aluminum. They sell for around $200 new. You should be able to get $50 for the set. However, most of the members here hate 'em with a passion!

You are probably correct. Thanks for the information!

As far as selling them, I think I just need to find the right demographic (cough cough).

If you toss in a pair of 3 fender vent accents....you have a better chance of selling them.

Can't say I blame them either, but someone out there will take them off your hands.
