I have a question, I recently bought new tail lights for my 2018 honda civic. its a 3 peice set so it goes over the trunk lid, but I had to take off the the stock lip spoiler to install it. I was wandering if anyone had any suggetions on painting it I would like to do it myself I can sand it and patch in the holes with fiber glass, but i dont have any way of painting it. I dont have an air brush or compressor. If i take it to a shop what would I be looking at price wise if it got professionally done. Or would it be cheaper if I took it to a paint shop and got them to just paint it. Thank you.

Also I live in Athens, GA so if anyone would like to do a trunk swap I would be down as well its a white civic.

Why not check local salvage yards and pick a part places?
Have you priced out a OEM replacement through the E-store?

Just tape the holes since it's gonna get covered up by the taillights.

the light bar dosent cover the spoiler holes unfortionally
Bummer.
I do not know, but if you go to the Honda E-Store you can look it up.
It's going to be an expensive work to get the light bar. Trunk lid alone is $350 plus shipping, and you may pay more if you are getting from dealership. This doesn't include the paint job yet.

The best thing to do is finding an used trunk with the same color from your junkyard, but that doesn't worth the efforts because the aftermarket taillights fade in months.

I looked it up for you. The trunk lid doesn't come with any of the supporting parts so would have to remove them from the original lid or purchase separately.
