Not a hard process and most body shops know how to do it. I have seen body shops charge anywhere from 150-250 dollars for this process. Its not exactly easy with our tail lights though since we have LEDs. Any type of foggyness can be seen when the brakes are pressed. If you get it done ensure they know what they are doing and that when you press on the brakes the lights dont glare off the back and create a foggy look to them.

I actually just sold the 19s mainly because the wheels I wanted finally became available. My car was mainly for show so the 19s filled in the wheel well nice but yes these were heavy so performance was lost. These 19s in particular got a lot of attention because of the wheel design mainly.
