I finally got a set of red/clear tails! I bought mine from CustomMaxima.com, and they look great. Sorry to waste bandwidth posting another "I got my red/clears!" thread... but I'm excited about 'em

 

Nice!

 

glad everything worked out for you

 

I did my tails myself. Took me around 45 minutes. Red/clears do make difference in looks

 

How about getting those inner tails cleared as well to match, you know

Looks good though

 

Now do the inners too and you're set

Like this...

 

maybe its because my car is white?

but mine match



at least i think they do

 

maybe it's the camera angle but the outers look a little darker than the inners

 

I have the 'matching' problem also, but its just on the passanger outside ...I got mine from ebay, assuming they came from custommaxima at sometime??

 

Where did you get the inserts for the inner lights, I was thinking of clearing the inner once as well.

how much did you pay for them?

 

The outter tails do not match the inners because the inners are a little whiter. The flourescent light cover that is used to replace the amber piece is not quite as white.
Open the inner tails, remove the stock clear piece. Use it as a template to cut a new piece from flourescent light covering, then put it in.
Having the inner and outter clear pieces the same material makes for a cleaner look.
If you are as **** as I am about my Max, you'll want them to match perfectly. They simply do not match if you only have the outters done.

 

mine car is blacked.. it matched fine.. bought them from cm too...

 

Sorry, but they don't

 

Those are really nice. I didn't know if I should get the tails cleared out, but looking at yours makes me want to know. BTW what kind of flourescent reflectors did you use?

 

 

 

 

:lick:

outers still look a little darker

 

I wonder who did dis fine ****... I meant, my tail-lights

 

i did them? did you have them re-done? because those look nice

 

 

they were re-done?

 

I have no idea, just think they look matched/good

 

nope.. they're the same as you did them 2 yrs back

 

yes that was a great day at my house wasn't it

 

yeah.. too bad stynki got tired of his cali-spec maxie

 

too bad neal won't get tired of his

 

Go to Home Depot and buy a sheet for flourescent light covering.
It has small little diamonds in it. Make sure you install the piece with the smooth side facing out.

 

 

 

I thought this was going to be about 95-96 red/clears.

 

 

 

if it makes you feel any better.. mike's I30 is a 96

 

 

 

I finally got my red/cle.... oh wait.. they're stock.


Lookin' good guys. I really love the 97-99 rear end with red/clears.
