can someone get a group deal going on these? or atleast call someone to find out pricing and how we can order?? these could be very sweet, and save me the trouble of painting my chromies.


edit: i emailed one of the companies who supposedly sell these. i will let you guys know what they say as soon as they write back!


good find btw!

Group deal would be sweet . I emailed the ppl at TYC and asked about Pricing and about the 95-99 it says under the lights, knowing that 95-96 are a tad bit diffrent. But THOSE are the 97-99 tails shown. Waiting for an email, and I also asked of a site that we can order from.

I just saw something simialr to this on a honda accord in Boston. It had these exact tail lights with a GT-R badge on the back They were really ugly. I don't like the way the red linse sticks out.

Why do people think they can put round tail lights on their Max to look like a skyline?

A MAX IS NOT A SKYLINE!!!!!

Are those lights sticking out like the mazda6 tails? I don't really like them. It's cool for aftermarket design but it just doesn't appeal to me.
I prefer regular altezza's over those.

Should I vomit now, or wait until people actually start putting these on their Maxima's?

Those are nasty!

Ah, I think they may take Altezzas off the hook and become the new whipping boy.

I think body-matched/painted altezza-style tails are a slight step-up from standard clear/chrome altezzas...(shudder)...

At most I'd prefer something like on the new Mazda 6's, where the individual lights may be circular in shape, but the tail cover is still red as a whole.

95-99??? There is not such a thing. It's either 95/96 or 97-99.

they dont look to bad. i was going to sell my altezzas, and get red/clears, but now i am just thinking about painting my chrome altezzas, because i have to pull them out and re-seal, due to condensation build up anyway.

Its really nice to see that we 95-96 owners get some new style taillights too. I liked the 2nd gen altezzas but these look even better. It think once someone installs them on their max and paints them to match the body color exactly (like painting a body kit) These will look awesome. Better yet would be if someone got them molded in to the trunk.... TYC looks high quality and hopefully they arn't lying about 95-96 tails being made.

OH GOD ! ! !

They've made more rice to deface the maxima . I'm shocked at the amount of people that allow this sort of rice on their vehicle, i mean i didnt go ape **** when i saw the stillen body kit on so many freakin max's but geez...ALTEZZAZ ? I always looked at the maxima as a car that wouldnt be affected by pure rice such as this, i mean look at the site.THEY HAVE A FNF BANNER ! ! !But yea as the weak *** saying goes.. whatever floats your rice boat.

Altezzaz = thumbs down

I hate these worse than altezza's, I've seen these on an accord and they are ugly. Wassup with the cirlce taillight part sticking out.
If anything companies should make something like this:

where the whole taillight is see-thru clear

those appear to be Gen 2 Altezzas with the outter plastic primed. You can tell by the way it pops out in the center, looks exactly the same as my cf gen2's would look if I painted around that.
