There was a thread a few days ago check the first 3 pages of this forum. I own a pair but dont have pixs, but i will tell you no matter what anyone says there are so hot. At night time its so sexy. The four circles and when u brake they match spoiler. Bright, and look great. What color is your car, they blend perfect on black car. Cant be happier with the purchase.

yeah everybody has good things to say bout em

Only thing...if you get these get ready to be followed closely at night! It's like ppl are mesmerized when they see the 4 LED tail light circles and they try to get a closer look and see what car it is.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Love those carbons !

the main thing i was concerned with was that they might look cheap like so many of the others do , my sister has a pt cruiser and they tossed some chrome looking ones on it and its not that cool , but anyways looks real tight ...very impressed ... carbons are the way to go ..would you say they look better in the pics or in real life ?

If you want closest to black as possible, go to www.elegantebytyc.com and look for the Maxima. You can paint these ones. They come into canada in, well probably today(Wednesday) and i am calling her up right away to be the first in my area. Take a look, they can be painted to any colour.

Yes it is photoshopped! But looks really good, I'm going to try to do a comparison of this and the TYC. Hoping to find a better pic of the TYC, aside from the one on their website.

I'm very much aware of that, thanks for reiterating.

BTW, has anyone heard of Vigg Designs? They use vinyl tape to customize tail lenses. They did a nice Skyline-style tail for a Maxima (pic in the middle-right side of page). This might be a little better than the one that's in VQPower. What I didn't like about it was that at night, you can see a glow behind the painted area, not a clean look in my books, just my 2 cent. Vinyl tape probably has better light blocking characteristics.

I luv mine! :]

I have had many people tell me they think the CF Gen2s look better than the stock lights... I wanted something different than most Max's and I am very happy with the results. I have added CF door pillars and a CF dash kit to complete the motif. ;] Still tryin to get pics of the pillars for sidewinder740, haven't forgotten about ya Jonathan! I put in chrome gauge rings and reverse lumiglow gauges this last weekend, so I'll get pics of all the new stuff and post to my homepage. Anyway, if you want to see more close-ups of the CF Gen2s on a beige Maxima, check the linkage to the left. Just please excuse the hamburger; it's gone now I assure you! Sounds like you're already sold on em though - you'll love em.

The cf gen2 does look nice on the beige Maxima! I'm sure that when they do come out for the 95's, it might be a little more expensive (just like the 1st gen ones). But I'm sure that's not gonna stop anyone who really wants them.

I love my cf gen2's. Ive had a ton of compliments and I havent had them on for more than 3 weeks. At first I didnt like how they stuck out so much but the led bulbs give them character that many other peoples cars do not have.
