Devastation!!
Woke up this morning to find my driver side taillight smashed. 
Looks like some a-hole threw a rock through it. Anybody have any suggestions as to the most economical way to have this fixed?

Replacing the light assembly is the only way to go, other than gluing all the broken pieces back together.

Sorry to hear.
The guys have some good suggestions for your replacement though.

FYI,
In the past, a smart thief would bust out the tail light of vehicles with aftermarket alarm systems and sort the bulb socket out with metal. Thus blowing the fuse on the alarm rendering it disabled. I think Acura may be smarter than those cheap alarm manufactures...
But be sure to check your fuses as well as the light(s) before reistalling all of that stuff.

Your definition of devastation slightly differs from mine. Seems like an easy fix if its just a tail light.

.... ive taken off my tail light like 4-5 times already.. it takes like 5 mins..
peel liner back, find the 3 bolts, unbolt them..it should be somewhat kinda stuck... so you will have to lightly hit it from the back side to pop them out.. then disconnect everything.
