Tail Light Fillers Panels Fellas, any idea how come the '02 CETA (silver logo) filler panel is about $40 cheaper than the regular '00-'02 filler panel?
PN10312725: '02 CETA/ Silver Logo Filler Panel, $102.15
PN5977286: '00-'02 Standard Trans Am Panel, $144.64
These are gmpartsdirect prices. Thanks.

The main reason I was asking was because I was wondering if the CETA panel was of lesser quality or if there was a valid reason why it was cheaper. I'm of the "you get what you pay pay for" school of thinking. If it's not lesser quality I'd be crazy to spend the extra 40 bucks especially since I have a silver car, and I think the silver logo would look great. Thanks.

Spray gun at the auto body shop, yes.
But I would imagine you could simply use a spray can.
You should be able to wet-sand & polish to a nice high gloss again afterwards.

FWIW, I think I'm going to go with the standard red logo filler panel. I mean my car isn't a CETA so why would I put on a CETA filler panel? Even though I do have Corvette front brakes, and obviously my car isn't a Corvette, I think that brakes are different because they're a safety/ performance upgrade. 
I put the silver on mine (custom done, bought from another member who had it done by another member) because I'm doing a chrome on black thing. Red looks good with the taillights, and I'd probably keep it red on that car.
That said....
I have a red panel for sale.

I still might be interested in your panel if it's new or like new and the price is right. Thanks.
