Has anyone ever.......
Hey Guys,
I was wondering if anyone has ever put any lights, or light strips in the back area between the 2 rear lights that is connected to the trunk. The red and gray piece that has the Maxima lettters in it. If anyone has I'd appreciate seeing some pictures of it. I think it'd look pretty sweet , but I don't want to start on it before I know what it's going to end up looking like.
Thanks, later,
Joel

I was wondering about something like this too for my 92 SE (red centerpiece), but somehow I don't think it would turn out quite right since it wasn't designed to be lit in the first place - no internal reflectors, or diffusing pattern in the clear plastic.
Anyone know anything about either of these?

the tails on the 92-94 SEs are the best ones dont mess with them...the only thing im doin is getting chrome "MAXIMA" lettering from a 4th gen and gluing it onto the existing gray "MAXIMA" in the center piece and maybe an SE badge to go on the top right corner of the trunk lid; should give it a nice stand out touch. heh so i guess this way your kid wont go, "hey mommy look, what kinda car is that?"

I think that the 89-91 se tails dont look so bad. I kinda like having a black center peice and I think that it looks great on a light color car. I have a 5th gen badge on mine and I plan to remove the "NISSAN" and "MAXIMA" stickers off the center piece.
I liked what SkyMax did with his on his blue max. He removed the sticker and put a chrome 97-99 "MAXIMA" badge in the center. It was definitely a hot look. He had tinted the tail lights to make the whole thing look black. Also, dont forget, the 95-96 badges are different from the 97-99 badges.
