Red Clears

Do you think that it's worth dishing out $200+ to have Diamond Cut Red/Clears or is DIY a lot better? I wouldn't wanna mess up and the clears don't align right or something else looks awry?

If you have a 97-99 Maxima Do it yourself..but if you have a 95-96 Maxima, you really have no choice but to buy them or buy all clears and paint the bottom red yourself.

Hope this helps,

Nick

go DIY for 97-99's as stated.
However if you go this route, your outer pieces will look a might different than the inner clear pieces due to the fluorescent light covers pattern. Shouldnt be a big deal though unless you are really looking hard at both pieces studying them.
My left lense just recently popped out of place and I'm not too pleased but taking an hour to open them up and fixing them is better than dishing out 200 bucks for cm.com's version.

good luck in finding all clear tails. check ebay every once in a while and you might get lucky.

there aren't any DC Red/Clears.

and for 95-96 to do the DIY red/clears you need the all clear taillights so that the can be painted.

if your going to buy them anyways than go ahead and try to do it yourself and if you mess up, you can than buy them. Its not too hard to do it yourself
