My Yankee frugality has kicked in and is confusing me.
I recently replaced my UV degraded headlamps, turn signals and Tail light lenses on my 97 2 door with brand new GM parts; LOOKS NICE!

I'm trying to clear out my garage of unwanted clutter and I keep coming back to these replaced lenses.
Part of me says "chuck them out" as they are aftermarket and fogged up/UV degraded.

The frugal Yankee part of me say keep them around because.....well...you never know.

I know they aren't valuable, rare or even original but........HELP ease my mind..........
Chuck them or Keep them?
Thanks

If they were original I would say keep them. Have you ever tried listing things for sale on Facebook Marketplace? I never throw anything away without listing it first. You would be surprised what people want to buy, and you could put the money towards your recent GM parts purchase.

It's a wear item, throw them out! If you want spares and to be frugal, buy another set and stick them on the shelf so you can use them in 10 years.
