I was going to attach them all, but you guys can use UF's bandwidth and keep the .org running that much faster. Click my link in the first post for all the pics. I love that color and the the Type E's... car's looking good. Light beer though? No one's perfect.

First of all; thanks to all of you who commented. Even the ones who didn't care for them---at least you are cool about it!
The side makers (MAXXFANATIC) are not tough to do at all. You need a Dremel which you can get off of EBAY cheap. You need the lights, bulbs, patience and time. I think the total cost for me was like $20 and I got them off of Ebay about 6months ago. This price excludes the price of the Dremel as I already had one. The Altezzas came from Alex at SOUTHWEST MOTOR SPORTS. He threw in Polarg REd bulbs and shipping for $249.00
Altezzas aren't even in my area on Hondas if that gives you any indication where I am at in the world. I might see a car with them once every three months and that's normally when I am in Columbus Ohio. That's why I like mine so much. I really like the contrast with the chrome on my dark car and my Maxima sticker.
If you need more help with the install on the markers, let me know.

I was thinking the same thing as deezo. I think it would look much better if someone would paint the silver part black for a black maxima and maybe it would look more like a Skyline. I think they would look much better installed on a silver maxima. However, Shumax's Altezza's look nice because of the shaved emblems and that nice silver maxima sticker.
I would only buy a set if they came in carbon fibre instead of silver. Where I live (Toronto, Canada) altezza tailights are sooo played out, everywhere you look some ricey honda has them.

emblems/stickers.
Hmmm, I have to agree. The silver MAXIMA sticker was on EBAY for $5 and I hated it at first, but I bought it so I threw it on anyway
Now with the silver in the Altezzas, I like it a lot more The GTR sticker is rice and I know it. Yea right...Maxima a GTR, what am I smokin'? BUT, it does have some red in it that goes with the red in the lights. Hey it's a stretch to prove some of the rice isn't real.
I am going to crack mine open later on and put that carbonfiber tape where the chrome is. You can buy it in sheets off of EBAY. I have some and haven't used it. I was surprised with the quality. I will take them apart and measure like crazy and then cut some out and stick it on.
More to come...

Hey JoesMAX I have an idea that would look really good on your max. When I bought my maxima brand new about 5 years ago, nobody made any custom parts for it. I wanted to have clear turn signals for the front, but they were not out yet. So I came up with the next best thing. I had a body shop take black paint and mix it with clear coat & spray my turn signals. They came out really nice. They look black, but when you turn the signals on they blink amber. Just like the original color. Basicallly they look like your headlight covrs, but they are perminant and they blink bright amber. Since then I have changed over to the clear ones, because my max is white and clears look better then black. But, they would look awesome on your max. Your front end would be all black.
