well,
Actually, I bought them of Hendry (another orger) for 280 shipped. While this IS ridiculously expensive, it's less than the 350 without shipping on ebay, and I actually really like them! Regardless, the way it looks, prices are just going to rise unless some manufacturer mass produces them which has not happened in many years. So if I get sick of them, which I don't think I will, I will just sell them at a profit
.
Also, I plan on having the car for many more years so I figure the cost can be spread out over the years in terms of years of enjoyment.
Lastly, in a sick and twisted way, (and this is the minor reason for me), it's fun having something that 80% of 95,96 maxes don't have.
Install pics when it gets warmer. My god it's cold in Albany!!!

IMO $200+ just for tailight is ridiculous! $300+ is just insane...
i'm happy with my $41 gen 1 carbon fiber altezza, not to mention it's DOT approved and got rid of the ugly orange tail.
yea yea ricer
i know i am but i try to keep a well balance from rice to performance to suspension... so yea whatever i like it.

Damn, I cant believe how much nicer it is with the max, you think 95/96 tails are expensive right now? Try getting red/clear tails for a 1st gen TL, the cheapest I could find was around $400, its usually in the $450-500 range on sites.
But again, these were imported from japan, but still, with as rare as they are, they do hold value.

hee hee,
thanks for the official david L welcome guys! I really want to install them today but it's so cold out (and snowing) so I have to wait till it gets nicer. That and I have a medicine exam next Friday so i can't spend too much time yet.
btw, they look badass on all your cars! Glad I can be a part of it soon!

I would hate to see any of you, 95/96ers with red/clear tails, get rear ended. Cuz that would mean bye bye red/clears since it is a rare and pricey item to get.

Just stating the facts of life: "anything can happen at any given time". Noone is going to be driving up behind you and say: " Oh no, red/clear tails....I don't want to plow into it because its so pretty! I'm going to swerve around it and hit a median instead."

nobody wants to hear **** like that, it just pisses people off, why bother saying it?
edit: and I'm not over reacting, because my friend rear ended me yesterday, probably about five hours after you posted that. bad karma, man.

I was behind a shiny beige 4th gen today (probably a GXE since I couldn't see anything else but the tailend w/o the spoiler). The entire tail lenses are smoked dark. The ambers are still there but everything looks nice because of the dark tint. It's a very good alternative to the red/clear style. I like it very much and I'll probably do it instead.
mchne, sorry for the bad luck man!

whatta waste of money for taillightsFirst, looking at your page, I see no all reds (except for a square of white)
Second, to make all reds, you would have to either buy all reds or buy all clears, unless you have a 97-99, so shut up
third, who cares... dude bought some lights, they look good.. why do you feel the need to be an ***hole??

second: i have a 95 and to make all reds all you hafta do is spray testors candy red over them until they become all red until the clear and orange matches then clear coat them. i'm not trying to fight with anyone one this forum so there is no need to tell me to shut up
third: yes he did buy some lights and i completly agree that they look great. but in my opinion that is to much for taillights. i paid $2.80 instead of $280. so why i'm i an A$$hole for having an opinion
peace

its basically a Skyline Station Waggon..
