Opinion on Bumper Lenses for White Max
I have held of for a while trying to decide what bumper lenses to get for my '98 White Maxima. I was curious to see what people thought looks best on a white max...the regular clear or euro clear lenses. I'm going for the simple, but clean look.

Best Place to Buy?
Where is the cheapest/best place to buy them...I guess I could look around a lot more, but I'm impatient and hoping someone could help me out since I'm sure tons of you guys have them.
Thanks

You can try soething a bit different;
get the clear bumper lenses. On the inner part, the part with the shiny silver reflector, paint some or most of it white. The resulting corner light will blend in better with the white bumper. Since the bulb is amber, you'd still get an amber signal, and therefore still legal, signal light.

I got my white max tinted and they put some grayish charcoal film that looks alright, but that jet black tint looks a lot better!

Go with the DC Euro Bumpers. The plain ones are gay and I honestly think NO maxima owner should have the plain ones. Its just like how can you go with that old look then the new look. Its not like a super change, there both clear, but the DC clears are just more Clearer. lol

And I personally like the non "euro" bumper lights. Less chance they will get stolen.

) I've seen you address this issue over and over and I have to disagree. I think car theives know what to look for, and any clear light will be stolen. If you can tell they're aftermarket (which you still can despite which ones you get), you are taking the chance of their being stolen. I don't think there's any extra risk-factor to their cut. The fact that it's happened to many more diamond-cut owners is because there aren't that many regular-cut owner to begin with. A good analogy to this would be saying that if you put chrome wheels on your car they are going to get jacked. YES there is a good change, but even if you put silver aftermarket wheels on you are taking that chance. Just my opinion bud.-Cyrus

Around here, I've been seeing many many cars with plain clear bumper lights. Cars driven by people you know aren't into aftermarket stuff (ie. older family people). I'm under the impression that used car dealers are now putting on those clear bumper lights.

I see what you're saying ... but most people on this board who have gotten their clears stolen or their cars keyed because they had their had clears bolted in had euro clears.

Diamond cut all the way! The only person if any person that should rock the plain clears are the 95-96 owners because it would match their headlights. You having a 97+ max means the DC are definitely for you. Plus you have a white max so both would look good but definitely recommend diamond cut

Sorry No PICs. It was one of those time I wish I had my digicam on me. Spur of the moment thing.
