Tail light question...not about tint.
So my DS tail light got busted. Went to a few shops to try to find one. The questions that were asked to me were.....What MONTH was your car made in? I was like, WHAT? Another question was, Is the Tail Light Chrome or Silver? I didn't know they had different types of tail lights. Where can I tell if it's chrome or silver?

Keep in mind that I do not have a SHINKA. Just your typical 2006 RX8.

They have no idea what they are talking about. Any S1 taillight will work just fine. No "silver" or "chrome". Just the same taillight, Shinka or not.

What are they smoking?! They have no difference from 04 thru 08. They look exactly the same.

Thanks guys. They got me 2nd guessing, but I know I was positive that there were all the same.
