    Should fit no problem. If i was you i'd get the parts of a cvpi in the junkyard and night shade the tail lights.

    noooooooo you cant just swap the rear from a MGM to a CV rear. you will have fitment issues i think the bumper needs to be replaces as well

    you can get the same result just by painting it


    too much crap on the car to list it all

    CV facia to MGM is ok but you will have a gap in the bumper cover.

    MGM facia to CV is not ok because bumper covers are different.

    you could or you can use niteshades on the tails, this way you can keep the reflectiveneseseses of the rear fascia and it will alow you to controll how dark you want to shade the back. or if you want to completelly make it black than yea, sand, primer, paint, clear, wetsand and you will be golden!!!

    Its pretty much clearcoat with a little black in it... you can tint the tailights a little or a lot depending on how many coats you want, but unlike paint, it is transparent when light is behind it..... Black tailights light up red.

    If you want it to look like a MM, paint it. If you want it to look like a tinted tailight panel, niteshade it.

    BTW for Niteshade to look actually black, you must clear coat it. Otherwise its an off green color.
