I know, I know. Don't do it... but can anyone post pics of painted altezzas on their Max? And how much did it cost to get them painted? Thanks in advance.

damm those look hideous!

Sorry.... please dont put ur maxima thru this.

Those arent hideous. They look fine. You guys need to get something more constructive to do than put down altezzas and tell people not to get them. What exactly is your problem with altezzas, They look a heck of alot better than stocks and they are a good alternative for those of us with 95-96's that dont have red/clears readily available.

Sorry man..

Its like the Austin Powers Mole phenomina...

if its fugly then its fugly..

*MOLE!*mOooll!*MOLLY!* MOL MOL!@ etc etc

DUDE! Those are ugly as hell... You know what would look good on white? The 2nd gen carbon fiber altezzas.

I have a 96 graphite pearl with gen 1 carbon fibers.

AKM2k5

Something like this:

iTrader: (1)

That is a Gen 2, mine is a gen 1, I want those really bad, but I dont think you can get those for a 96.

Dont get the tezzas, tint them itll look alot better untill 95/96 red/clears become available

tpduke112

iTrader: (1)

Im not a fan of those tinted taillights, I like the my carbon fiber altezzas alot better. But I will get Red/Clears when they become available.

AKM2k5

Yeah, I hate altezzas, but for some reason, the GEN 2 altezzas are the only ones I like. Other than that, I prefer the 97-99 tail lights.

QuickFast

Do those 2nd generation altezzas come for 95 Max's?

Idont really dig the Fake CF looking Alteeza's, but the LED'sdo look cool at night.
I think the gunmetal ones look better.

Get red/ clears instead of altezzas. Can you say RICE?

bruteMax

those look good. Did you pry the plastic off the taillights first before painting? That's what I want to do but don't know quite how to go about it. Any tips on heating it up?

tpduke112

iTrader: (1)

First of all, us 95-96 owners would have to work entirely too hard to get red/clears. We would have to track down a set of all clear taillights (not made anymore) then paint them. Until they start making 95-96 red/clears in volume. IMO, a set of altezzas is our best bet. Second, what is everyones kick on rice. What makes altezzas rice, because they make them for Hondas????? I dont understand why everyone always screams rice when someone makes a mod that everyone doesnt prefer. Im not in love with my carbon fibers, but I do think they look a whole lot better than stock. And to flavor247, I wasnt aware that they had Gunmetal, if I were I might have got some. Where are they available from?

AKM2k5

I think they fit maximas 95-99

tpduke112

iTrader: (1)

No, all the Gen2 Tails Ive seen only fit 97-99.

Spectre

iTrader: (1)

Thanks for the pics. I think I am going to do this mod. As I stated before I know half of you are going to post comments like "fugly" and so on. So it was kind of pointless for you to post them... I didn't ask for your opinion on them just pics and price. Thanks again for the pics.

Good choice on doing what you want and not fitting the ".org mold". I still dont think some people understand their arent a stock of 40,000 red clears for 95-96 just waiting to be shipped out. We have to make due and while some owners are at least trying to make it better, you other people just scream "RICE" or "thats just hideous, alteezas suck!!!!!!". Everyone had read that on this forum 1,000 times before, no need for 20 more people to scream it at him when he just asked for some pics.

AKM2k5

whats different between th 95-96 and 97-99 maximas that make it to where they only fit 97-99?

I have a pair for sale on ebay:

Im not sure exactly what the difference is but its probably the same reason we cannot fit 97-99 Red/Clears in our 95-96's.

Spectre

iTrader: (1)

97-99 Maxima's are two inches longer and the trunk is different.

Mike

AKM2k5

Oh Dammit!

ogparjay

the only car that should have altezzas is the ALTEZZA itself. (is300)

Keyser Skoze

Im not bashing on anyone who likes altezzas or carbon fiber but yea i would rather have stock or nothing at all... just a bunch of wires hanging with bulbs attached to them. Thats just me though.
By the way i dont like them on the IS300 "altezza" either.

heh heh...nothing to add, I just wanted to put of pic of my CF Gen2's!!!

superblack98se

I think altezzas look ok on the 97-99's, when I say altezzas I mean everything but the chrome ones, but I would never get it. For the 95-96's you guys should tint your tails, that looks n!ce imo.

Brudaddy

iTrader: (2)

I don't personally like Altezzas, but for altezzas, I think the painted ones look pretty darn good. I don't like the altezzas because I think a 4th gen max should have rectangular headlights and tails, but that is my opinion. I just think the round doesn't match the body styling, IMO.

AHH ITS LOOKIN AT ME!! those carbon fiber tails looks sweet. I love how it flows with black. What kind of kit is that? I was thinking about tint the whole tail light on mine. Not just the amber, the whole thing.

tpduke112

iTrader: (1)

I dont really like the tint at all.

tpduke112

iTrader: (1)

ChinoX, do you have any clue if you can get those gen2 carbon fibers for a 96?

superblack98se

They dont make Gen 2's for 95-96

tpduke112

iTrader: (1)

Yea, I didnt think so, why does Nissan and aftermarket companies hate us 95-96 owners so much......

lindselle24

Hey ProjectNeptune, YOU NEED SOME RIMS ON THAT *****!!

AKM2k5

What does a 95-96 maxima owner have to do to be able to fit in 97-99 tail lights? (exact things)

Spectre

iTrader: (1)

Just overall Maxima is not a car that you see modded too much. Companies put a lot more effort into the Accords and the Civics. Bastards. That is why us older Maxes don't see as much as the higher end ones...

Brudaddy

With g.a.y. stuff like tail lights, yes, the aftermarket manufacturers don't make as much stuff, but with stuff that matters like ECU upgrades and stuff....they pay more attention to the 95/96. Don't spend your money on that and spend your money on an upgraded ECU instead. You will like the power a lot more. It will be tons more fun to drive, and not just to look at.
