You can do it, but it's like $1000 for the labor + the price of the lights. That's for just the front or rear, not both. And you'd better find a really, really, really, really good body shop that does custom work. I saw the blue 5th gen max with skyline headlights and taillights at the NOPI nationals and that thing looked like crap up close. The body work around the lights was horrible, the paint was bad, and the lights weren't fitted right. Keep in mind that this was supposed to be a full on show car, it was in the Pioneer display area. I also saw a Legend with skyline taillights and the body work around the lights was pretty messy. This is why I say get a really good body shop to do it.

No reason it's not possible. I've seen a Skyline conversion on an Integra, only way to tell it was an Integra was by looking at the engine. I've seen Eclipse lights on an integra, Silvia S15 lights on an Eclipse, Integra lights on a Prelude, Prelude lights on an Integra, Integra lights on an Accord, etc. Skyline lights on a Maxima aren't that far of a stretch. But if you get the lights for cheap, it's still gonna cost you way over 1k for each end. Hopefully some day, I'll swap the lights out, but right now I'm looking into molding a custom body kit onto my car.

yeah

body work is the KEY to this. The rear lights require the entire trunk area and the rear fender area to be reworked and painted.

The front requires modificatsion the the grill, bumber AND hood.
