pretty sure they don't exist. nopi has a history of advertising products they don't really sell (gauging interest i think is what they call it). could be wrong though, call em up.

It won't look good for sure and he's talking about the red/clear ones and theyre only $126...wouldn't be too confident with them never heard of before. They're saying they sell gen3 altezzas (pics of gen1)too and they don't even exist yet so I guess they are trying to fool people.

I found out the same- you call and they don't exist, but they will not remove the ads. It helps them in websearches. I suppose they get more hits that way, hoping to sell more altezzas...

i guess it really depends on what year car you have. on the 95-96 maximas the headlights are foggy, and on the 97+ they are more clear. so, on the 95-96 the non-dc clears are a better match. and for 97+ dc clears would be better. just my opinion.

i thought the auction was non dc, but i wasn't sure. i asked him and he obviously didn't know what he was talking about because he's like "um, dimond cut? um sure i think they are." so i should have expected as much. i just need to buy some cheap parts so i can get my car back on the road after my accident. but owell.

Re: 95/96 red/clears sound 2 good to be true!

NOPI uses data directly from APC, which includes discontinued items. They don't bother to edit it. Which is very frustrating, as this posting about NOPI selling clear/red tails happens time and time again (I can only imagine how many other items are discontinued as well!). APC was supposed to produce these but apparently never did.

There is one other website that I know of which list clear/red tails for several makes, including the Nissan Maxima. But they're probably bankrupt. The phone number for ordering has been disconnected for almost a year (which was when I first tried calling). Yet oddly enough the website is still up!

CustomMaxima.com is promising clear/red tails for the 95/96 Maximas, but the estimated release date has slipped about 5 times now. They're currently promising late Century--whoops, I mean January. So, don't hold your breath.
