Red/Clears VS Altezzas

Ok guys, what do you think I should get. Red/Clears or paint altezzas so they look like the GT-R lights? If anyone has pics of painted altezzas on a dark forest green Max and could post them I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Mike

Red Clears hand down. These tail lights have a much cleaner look plus, the altezza IMHO take away from the look of the maxima.

If you wanna make your max look like you got if off ebay from some company based in Korea, get the altezzas. If you want some class for you maxima's @$$, get the red/clears, and don't bother to ask. (Rhymes like some Dr. Seuss...ahh, nevermind. it's late and i'm tired.) I am waiting patiently for the red/clears to come out, and i think it will be worth it in the end. Just look for some pics and you will see why.

If you have a 97-99 I would suggest the red/clears, its very clean and looks alot smoother than Altezzas for the most part. If you have a 95-96, then you dont have as much of a choice unless you get those discontinued clears and paint them yourself.

unfortunately, you cannot produce your own red/clears because of the differences in model years.

normally, i'd say get the altezzas and make them into wannabe skyline lights, but now i think it looks exactly like this and no one wants their maxima to look like that.

So now my opinion is basically to do something new. Cut some designs out of vinyl and slap em on there. Fock Altezzas, and fock paying out your **** for red/clears. Do something different.

i ended up settling for altezzas, i wanted all clears but those are next to impossible to find. There was one pair cracked for 250 dollars, screw that, and those red clear prices are insane, i may get my stock ones and try to do something about the amber but we will see, good luck

Get the red/clears, like everyone else in here
was saying is they look really clean. Altezza's on a Sedan
don't look right to me. Even if you paint them to
look like a skyline you still don't have a
skyline you can clear the amber out yourself
go to www.maximadriver.com there is alot of good
info at that site...
