I like those better than the straight chrome, but I think the red/clears looked the best.

Nope they are illegal because they do not have a red reflector visible from the side.

Actually, these do.

If you look http://64.252.159.123/maximumsport/closeupcarbon.JPG
look at the left light at the bottom has written with states DOT safe. In any attempt of you being pulled over I'm sure you can fight it.

Really? Not all cars do, like besides maximas. What about corvettes and stuff? Red sidemarker on the side or rear bumper?

Re: Installed Carbon Fiber Altezzas (Pics)

Althought I don't like the style of the altezza, the carbon makes them look much better.

Yeah, I talked to him online before he even got the tails. Ok, maybe I don't have dibs because I remember he told me one other person already made an offer. Anyway, if I don't get this, I could always get one from Sprint.

That silver edge is just painted from the inside. It can easily be removed with some alcohol and a rag. But only if you are willing to crack the lenses open.

The DOT does not ceritfy products. It merely provides guidlines that must be met. Any time you see "DOT approved," It's BS. If you look at the Corvette, it has a little reflector on the side of the bumper, not in the lights. Same with the accord or the Prelude. This is what makes Altezzas legal for them. Our reflector is built in to our tailight housing and those Altezzas dont have them...illegal.

They look pretty darn good. The carbon fiber looks really good on a black Maxi and pretty good on your dark blue Maxi. But that silver around the edge has to go! And is it just a bad picture or are your ground effects not body color?

Good point. I definitely noticed how the 95-99 Maxima didn't have to have a separate side parking light in the rear because the taillights have built-in reflectors. If the Altezza taillight isn't reflective from the side, it's a hazard regardless of DOT approval. Perhaps if the light may be disassembled without breaking it, a thin reflector could be mounted in there somewhere.
