Ive been seeing all these 3rd gen. maximas with tinted out tail lights, and the rear bar, all blacked out. I was wondering if anyone could give me detailed step by step instructions on how to do that, without it looking like crap...or if someone knew a site that had it...
thanks

 

i think you can just buy tint paper take your tail lights off and fit the paper to them, of course those arn't exact directions, but there are a few wasy to do it.

 

do to a junk yard and see if you can find tails from an SE. they come stock like that.

At least our 92 SE's do... Right, Laly???

 

non of them came "tinted" they only have the black bars on them

 

Do you know if the 92 SE bar will fit on a 89 GXL?

 

yes they should

 

(i know you meant GXE..)

 

"l" and "e" are way too close on the keyboard.........

 

Nice f'n car man!!!

 

hey damion, how is your ride with the 18's. my ride sucks. i have eibachs and i live in chicago where there is potholes and bumps all over the street. please tell me the streets are the reason my ride is so harsh.

I think that 89-91 SE's came with the middle bar black- no red at all. Then the 92-94 SE's came with tinted tails- still red but just darker. If you want the middle black, just get tails from an old SE, although IMO the 92-94 SE tails look the best.

 

or u can just buy some tint spray...here in Toronto/Canada....it costs like $20.oo so down in the U.S ....it should b around $10.oo

just take off ur taillights and tape up the chrome borders and paint away.....2 coats of the tint spray is good..but if u want it darker...then put around 4 coats or so

 

the rides no worse than with the stockies on mabye even better on the highway too

Thanks Brendan for the compliment

 

taking off the tail lighs is ****ing hard

 

For the record there are 4 types of 3rd gen tails...

89-91 GXE tails
89-91 SE tails
92-94 GXE tails
92-94 SE tails

 

send me your tails, $21 ($6 for spray and $15 for my time)+shipping both ways and i'll tint them.
there should be no questions asked here, its very very basic. tape when you dont want tinted, that includes your trunk. it works better if you do several small coats with the lights off the car. dont be a dumb@$$ like me and try to separate the lense and tint the inside, it just doesnt work.

 

yeah its the streets. I'm up in Gurnee, and the last 2 years have been very bad for street repair. -- well maybe lack of...
