I'm not into stickers of any of that stuff... but I think that something like putting a GTR on the front grill is cool because reminds me of the front of a skyline. this is kind of like putting a cobra on your modded mustang GT, sure its not a cobra, but who want to pay the insurance. I may be overanalyzing this, but if I put $$$ into my max, I do want it to stand out from the rest just a little...

Modding your max so it stands out is always a good thing, however, don't doit with cheap little plastic badges. Let's try to seperate ourselves from the cheap upgrades that have plagued the Honda Civic and Integra world. We drive a 4 door sedan. Whether you're into luxury or sport, we still have to keep an upscale motif because we are not driving cheap little pieces of 4 cylinder 15000 dollar cars. Save the money and buy a set of rims. I bet people notice that before a plastic GTR badge. If the rims are too expensive, clear out your lights. Change your head and fog lighting. Lower your car. Drop a CAI or exhaust in. Throw a couple TV's in the cab. Or a few sub's in the boot. You want to sticker and badge your car to death...There are a lot of people who would love to assist you at your local Honda dealership.

Ok..Ok..Ok...That's fair. I understand where you are comming from and what you are saying. However, every civic, accord, prelude..etc on the road do have full cleared out tails, or those ugly Altezza lights, however, my max still has the single red strip which in my opinion not only looks good, but keeps that 'level of class'. I think the clears, the way I have them look a lot better than the ugly yellow and red outer pieces. I had the clear tailights before I even drove my car off the lot. I hated the old tailights. I could do that two tones, red and clear bit, but everyone does that, and have you seen the 99 and up civics. That is how their tailights come from the factory. All of the new civics, accords, and preludes come with their tailights like that. What suggestions do you have to 'spruce' up the tailights to your liking? Just curious. Thanks for the input.

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOL
MY CAR,MY OPINION,MY MONEY,
There is not one car on this board that everyone will agree on that they like EVERYTHING about it.......WHY......
Variety,individuality,it's not like we put Ford Focus Emblems on our Nissan's,Skylines GTR's are NISSAN so we are staying in our own car manufacturer's family,

anyway.. as for tail light options..
I have still got mine stock and I hate them.. here are the options that I have seen and thought about...
1. all clear.. (don't even know if they can be purchased) would look good on blue, sandlewood, and white)
2. the good old red and white (good with all colors but overplayed)
3. all red (never seen this done, very VW, don't know if it would look good)
4. spray some special black paint and have them semi blacked out like fivelitrekiller has on his
5. Altezzas once they have been made... the protos make me think that maxima's are the wrong shaped car to look good
well, that's all I can think about for now.. any other options?

well I got took off the nissan emblem off and got the gtr one which had some tape adhesive on it which doesnt hold on too good so I took that stuff off and used some stuff called shoe goo to stick it on. the gtr will fit but you will still see the shape of the nissan one and possibly one of the holes that the nissan one left. again I dont mind that but Im keeping it on.
