im an ebay noob...
 
so yea ive never bought anything off ebay in my entire life. i figured i would start small with these 30 dollar clear corners. i was looking at the ones they were showing as available and i had some questions. hopefully some of you that have bought these can shed some light on which you think are the best ones for the money.


1) i see three different types that they are offering.

the first is EURO -
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-99...spagenameZWDVW

the second is just the regular ones (the most common ones)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-97...spagenameZWDVW

and the third seem the same as the second, but the picture is different. is there any difference?

2) they list ALL the corners as 95-97, 98, 99 clear corners. i got a 97, why would they clump the 95, 96 and 97 together and do the 98 and 99 seperate?

are all those lenses interchangeable from the various years? 96 clear corners would fit my 97?

BLACKonBLACK98 11-20-2007 08:59 AM

all years are interchangable.

the first ones are euro (more clear than "diamond cut"), the second ones are dc (oem pattern but crystal clear), the third ones are foggy (plastic is not crystal clear).

i have a set of the dc that are brand new and modified to bolt in to your bumper, rather than pop in, for sale. aftermarket bumper lens like to fall out while you're driving.

ROCKART 11-20-2007 09:02 AM

how do they bolt? did you just rig an existing pair of the ebay ones or did these actually come with bolt harnesses?

how much shipped to 33445?

you remove a plastic piece from where the lens mounts to the bumper and bolt it on from the back. i did the modification myself, but it looks/functions as if it were made that way. i also have the original parts and it can be reversed. asking for $35 shipped.

maximized98 11-20-2007 09:17 AM

here are the one's i bought. They look even better in person. Crystal clear.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-96...spagenameZWDVW

ROCKART 11-20-2007 09:19 AM

as long as they are in "brand new" condition it sounds good. would rather spend $35 and get it from an org member than spend $30 from some random person on ebay.

give me to the second week in december (the week of the 4th will be my next open paycheck, and then 3-5 business days for the money to clear on paypal). so im guessing around the 12th ill be able to have that money on paypal ready to go. if this sounds good lemme know

BLACKonBLACK98 11-20-2007 09:25 AM

they are brand new, only modified and test fitted on a spare bumper. i bought them while i was thining i was going to keep the max front end but now i am going through with my cefiro front end conversion. if you are positive you want them i will hold them for you.

ROCKART 11-20-2007 09:29 AM

yes. please do.

JUST TO LET THE ADMINS KNOW WHEN I DEPOSIT THE $35 FOR THIS I WILL ALSO BE DEPOSITING $25 AS A DONATION. i know its about time right...

heynow 11-20-2007 10:29 AM

I got those 2nd ebay ones. They look much better than the amber ones in darker/lighter colored cars. I think there's a nice write-up on vqmaxima.

ROCKART 11-20-2007 10:33 AM

do you mean vqpower.com?

99grnmaxgxe 11-21-2007 06:39 AM

They put 95 96 97 98 99 in the title to get for views for people who search.

actually i believe that hte third ones are the ones with the oem pattern cuz those are the ones i had on my white maxima and i wanted the oem pattern

BLACKonBLACK98 11-21-2007 07:27 AM

you are correct...

ever since i got black corners, i think the clears are ricey lookin. especially on a dark max like a blue or black.

ROCKART 11-21-2007 08:35 AM

i actually got a white 97, and i was thinking about darker lenses for the corners to go with the tints i will soon get. but then again i like the idea of clears, they would be less visible from a distance.

BLACKonBLACK98 11-21-2007 08:52 AM

i think clears are the way to go on any maxima, especially white. just not feelin the black for some reason.

vq35maxima4lifee 11-21-2007 11:09 AM

if ur dark in color...get the smoked ones

kelby 11-22-2007 07:00 PM

i just bought smoked corners for my deep evergreen max. i think white stands out too much.

kzoosho 11-22-2007 07:06 PM

I got black ones

jayare1 11-30-2007 09:04 AM

Mine is burgundy 97 SE. Should i go dark or light on corners and turn signal tails? let me know your opinion. I am ready to do simple mods and that's where i want to start.

ROCKART 11-30-2007 09:06 AM

id say clear with burgundy.

Thanks Rockart. I was leaning towards clear it looks clean.....but dark looks mean and bada$$.....

ezguy 11-30-2007 11:04 AM

can someone post a picture of a black max with smoked ones.? i love the smoked ones on the champagne color like mastere854(nice max btw) but i don't know how good they would look on black because im also gonna smoke my tails.
