New Rear end vs Old.

I took pics of my old gxe lights with the spray painted O's. and posted that earlier. everyone laughed. but I never did post the pics of the back end of it with the real lights on it. what do you think? (on the new back end it is not a scratch on the rear trunk piece its just a glare)

Hmm, I'm not really crazy about either although I'd pick the bottom one out of those two. I actually like the way stock GXE Tails look... Or with the entire middle piece shaved and just body looks nice too, though that sounds like some work from what I've read.

Hah, both better than those painted "O's" though

I would have gone with 92-94 SE tails, personally.

there's not much that can be done for our rear ends. Seems like a maxima tradition. I bondo'ed my center trunk section and rattle can painted it. Looks just okay, but in the end wasnt worth the time/effort.

Nice work though. Please get us better pictures because

I personally don't like any tail light option for our cars. The Ve tails looks more better.

I agree the original Ve tails look much better then if you would try to change them. The only way i would change them is if someone made some really nice tails that look very good.

Yeah, the Stock SE Tails look nice too, I like the fogged look and non chrome trim.

These are mine, (Just has the chrome around the bottom)
