Default It it possible to get this scrape out of the taillight?
I had my gf pick up a taillight for me today that was supposed to be "like new". Needless to say, it wasn't . Is there anyway to get this scratch out?

If that doesn't work, you can always sand it out and polish it like most people do their center sections to remove the "trans am".
