Thanks, honestly I wish it were gloss black..lol. The tails are actually made pretty sturdy. Not like a lot of Flea-Bay deals. The chrome pops off at the bottom too, just like on the OEM. I just haven't put the stock one's back on yet. The seal is good, came with the soft backing like the OEM and weight and durability looks pretty clost to OEM. I have had problems with some in the past like you mentioned but these seem pretty well made :knock on wood:

I would still do it as a piece of mind. They tend to look really good quality with all the same trimmings of the oem's but trust ne they use cheap sealants. I remember my led tail light having this issue and they both had cracked seals on both tails and I couldn't get the condensation to go away. This also happened to me when I bought after market "oem quality" tails for my alero, one of the lights lenses completly seperated from the housing
