Scine us 95-96 people can not get clear/red tails i'm gonna paint mine. I wanna see how your guys tail came out and what you painted red, IE, Backup light, part of the backup light...

 

 

lol

 

 

Dang..thats messed up!!

 

 

forgot the ol' red/clears. but alas, they're gone.

 

heres mine







2 coats of candy apple red.. plus clear coat.

 

What if you painted the top parts of the tails transparent black. Has anyone done that?

 

Yeup, many maxima owners have. Looks real nice too....now they need to chime in a post some pics.

 

clee...i love your plates

 

not painted, but rather using red translucent vinyl.

 

man i would fight people for those clears, dam they make the car so sexy

 

here is a pic of my red tails. i also used red tape.

oh and sorry for the "magazine" angled type shot. my friend took it accidentally and its the only rear shot i have.

 

Why cant we just put the 97 on ? I have a 97 trunk comming.

 

There's no way to modify the stock oj/red/white tails to get the white/red look is there? B/c man that orange makes me wanna keel over.

 

Anybody know the answer? please

 

the 97 corner parts fit perfect all ou need is the 97 trunk.

but one question, to those that reded out with paint, did you paint the hole tail light including the brake part or just the orange part?

 

I painted all but the reverse lights....

 

I too want to get rid of the ol' Amber on the corners. Anyone have a product name and number for the red translucent vinyl? I have seen Oracle as a product name memtioned before. Alas, no search... Be Safe, Mark V.

 

I never paid attention to the clear corner thing, but it eludes me why the 97's can't be used?

paint code: 031

they have the option to look up a distributer too. I got huge roll from a hobby store for $20.

 

Thanks Nadir, your tails look awesome. Did you cover the inner ones to match the outers? I have read the write-up on taping the tails. Vinyl tape, soapy water, hair dryer or heat gun, credit card and exacto knife. Any lessons learned you would share with us? Farewell to the Amber corners... Be Safe, Mark V.

 

thanks. I just tinted the ambers, that's all. It matched perfect and also at night they light up red, not orange or orange-red.

The only advice I have really is... make sure u get the oracal one because I have bought some other generic brand of translucent red vinyl and it faded after a couple months. This one has been on for almost 8 months now and I continuously wash my car and it hasn't faded, bubbled or anything to make it look different than when I had first applied it.

The hardest part is heating up the vinyl and stretching it around the corners to avoid bubble/air pockets... take your time! I was considering painting it at first, but this is not a permanent solution + there isn't any uneven texture like you would find with paint as well as an even perfect match gloss.
