The black paint over the red/clears just kills the whole Max look.

Hell yeah...DTM on a 95/96 looks great. But only if the tails for the 95/96 are the red/clears.

This with the altezza outers would make it look similar to a 5th gen, especially with geo1317's photochop pic. I agree with the accord comment with the 4th gen's shaved in geo1317's pic.

That looks horrible. Yea, let me buy a Maxima so I can modify it to make it look like an Accord or an old Prelude or some ****. Definitely a "point and laugh" if I saw that on the road.

Dave... you are the man for coming up with that idea... best mod to date (asthetically speaking).

there is a link in my sig to a write up of the Dallas Taillight Mod. You can find a pic at the bottom of a 95/96 with the DTM.

it's such a beautiful car... i wonder who's it is!?!?
