March 13th = 1st incident of Damage to my car =(

So yesterday I was walking to my car and I noticed the LEFT taillight (07 TL-S style) was cracked. It has a puncture hole about the size of my index finger by the turn signal and a crack running from the turn signal diagonally across the bottom. The crack doesn't bother me much... but it's supposed to rain tomorrow through saturday (supposedly) and I'm worried about water damage. Anything I can do?

I called my svc tech @ Rallye and he quoted me $165 for the LF TL-S assembly PLUS $69 in labor. There's no way I'm paying that much seeing as how I purchased BOTH lights for about $190.

I'm gonna check the e-store later... Anyone know where I can get one that's not ridiculously expensive?

I wouldnt be suprised lol jk. It's from a service worker's truck-bed. In NYC, I work in real estate and in FL I work at a hotel/resort/convention ctr and will be selling real estate there beginning this summer. I travel because of college. I didn't wanna choose between NY and FL, so I move back and forth.

I e-mailed Scott with Acura of Escondido Parts on eBay... I'll probably be e-mail Tim later today. This makes me miss my garage in FL. Over here it's just a space.
