What color. This for us who have been emailing APC to make them what color do we want? I like chrome and this will probably be a majority thing. Can someone photoshop this on a Maxima from 95/96,97-99?

Hmmmm..

Well, I don't think they should be making em if they're not going to make em for both sides. Having the outside as altezza lights, and the inside as maxima lights would be butt ugly.

But anyway, since my car is black, I think a black background would look pretty phat. Not everyones got a superblack though, so the chromes are the next choice.

Black would look more like the 5th Gen lights

IMO, I like that look better.

I would have to vote for black or carbon fiber. But that is only because I drive a BLACK Max and don't want bright,shiny *** tail lights on a dark car. That would be pure RICE. No way!

First we should bug apc(or the other companies that make the altezza like Nakayama racing sports, its worth a try) to make a 4 piece set...cuz u know an outer only set is gonna look ugly and most don't have the cash to get the inners shaved...but i would probably like the real carbon fiber or black but chrome would b cool too and probably the first(maybe the only or if they are made) to be made

Black or Chrome....

Both would look great on my Pebble Beige 96SE. My windows are very dark, so I almost think that Black would be better and not look quite so Honda-ish and little more Skyline-ish. I am with the guy that says the ouside red light should be big, the inside one small, ala Altezza/IS300. If we can get a 4pc in either color, I would buy it....Even at $300.

Honda Accord 94-95


I like this style it is similar in shape to the Max's tails. And we want a 4 piece set. A few other people agree with me too on this. We all need to get one style/set narrowed down.
Is this OK? I'm posting so much so we can all come together on one stlye,color,etc.

Hey, Metallic97GXE...how about this.

it was an integration someone did on a 2000 I think..but just an idea of what it COULD look like, just think of all the part that's blue, being chrome and the reds being deeper....

http://www.motorex.net/maxima.html

it's the second picture of just the taillights...
there could be one red light on each piece ...each being the same size...

A lot of people are tripping saying we're trying to bite on honda's but if they look at what people are calling them on ebay and other websites...they're described as "SKYLINE Altezza lights", so we're being like what we are NISSAN's ... so we really want "skyline" taillights =)... what do you think?

I am confused, I thought we doodn't like altezzers.

The chrome housing is foogly, black would be better, body color best, but still kinda weird. They need to make some so we have 4 circles across the back, sunk in about an inch, and thats it.

SE's, with all their black trim, need black altezzas or color-matched ones. The chrome altezzas interrupt the consistency of the SE's color scheme.

Really want to make some serious money guys? Get the Nissan paint codes for White, Black, Evergreen, Blue, Silver, etc. and produce ones made to match existing paint. Do some reasech concerning the precise paint codes used in each model year because the colors did change during the 5 years Nissan produced the 4th generation Maxima. I'd be willing to pay the additional premium for a set of altezzas that matched my car. I suspect others would too.
