skyline tail light conversion

'sup everyone

what's a good place that has skyline tail lights for a 98 GXE? IMO it'd look sick with the bodykit.

Peace

are you talking about actual skyline tail lights? or the skyline altezza mod? are you planning r32, r33, or r34? personally, i wouldn't do it, but thats why i didn't ask the question... if you can specify, ill get some links to help you out...

oh my bad,

Thanks

You know, i never liked the way it looks on the Max.

Correct me if im wrong but if you went and got actual R32, 33, 34 tails, wouldnt it run you a fortune to install them?? Im sure there will be a lot of body work.

homemade skyline mod

i did the homemade skyline mod. I have not updated the pic since I waxed and cleaned the clearcoat on my car to match the tails. Is a tedious modification but not expensive. The paint i got from nissan for 80 bucks(friend in body shop). Their are more pics on my webpage, link below

nmexmax are you just playing around here asking what's a skyline? cause if you own a nissan and dont know what a skyline is then you should be and . and those lights look okay on a max but i wouldnt choose that just my .02

I hope to god he knows what a skyline is. I made them because I got altezzas before everyone and their mom got them. Once they were everywhere, I made them into skylines to stick out and be different. I get asked all the time where I got them at and have never ever seen a Max on the road with them.(exept for the other few I made). That's why custom is the way to go.

and were you serious about EIGHTY DOLLARS worth of PAINT??? COT DAYUM! that's a little much to spend on already expensive tails, in my opinion, but i'd do it if i had the $$$!

I did mine way back as well. I had them done in the early part of 04 when I did the front bumper conversion. I had the shop spray them the same factory paint (QNO) as the bumper.

I like the look of my new tails better though.
But at the time, I felt the painted Alteezas looked pretty good.

I remember someone on here actually doing the real skyline tails on his maxima. Royal something I think. It looked ok; kinda weird though. I don't think it's worth the money though. If you really want it I'de go with the altezza modification.

^ That black I30 is Royal T's car. It's one of my favorite max's, but I don't think spending the money on genuine skyline tails is worth it to me.

This



looks whole lot better than



But untill someone actually puts in the R34 taillights with all the out lines, they both looks "off" to me.

i would just custom fit the gen2 tails on my max if i still had it..and wanted to spend the money...i liek the black max with the skyline tails...but not the yellow one...wtf is up with the yellow rims? i think the balck max should just trade rims with the yellow one..thank god i went with NOT as much rice on my fifth gen...im not going for looks..more performance..

OH yeah

anyway...if i were you blackmax_kid...i would go several ways with this

1. pay a **** load of money and get david L clears (95-96)

or

2. Buy altezzas and swap the altezzas housing with the OEM housing; paint the bottom part red and silicone the **** outta the edges of the light (95-96)

or

3. Buy (97-99) red clear and pu those on in 10 minutes and call it a day

or

4. Buy altezzas; open them up, paint the housing body color, put them back together, and call that a day

or FINALLY

5. Buy the gen 2 altezzas (97-99) and put those suckers on...they are good too

EDIT: number 1 and 2 dont apply to you

That about covers it. enjoy

From Ebay.... I used to have the full skyline kit untill I decided to go all carbon fiber.... but then I didn't take off the rear bumper cause I want that whole bumper covered in carbon fiber eventually.

Also for the people who dislike the black one, I wouldn't quite call it rice - it also has a rather nice custom turbo setup under the hood as well.
