Looks like they used the stock taillights and made a cover to fit over them and painted them body color.

Looks like custom fit r33 lights. Too round at top for max lights.

to put on the motorex kit?
i believe the motorex conversion also comes with performance gains- ie: supercharging the vq

im sorry, i forgot to mention that the car in that picture is a maxima... how would i get it too look like that? the only way i can think of doing this is by getting altezza lights and painting the silver part of the lights the color of your car.. but then again there's that damn part that cuts off for the trunk.

you're going to have to do some serious body work. well, not serious, but its not easy. my suggestion, if you can do it yourself, is to find some used tails for your car. bust out the lense on both side and then work on them from there. then you'll have to mold your trunk. this probably doesn't make sense but i don't want to post up instructions in a post. email if you want a quickie write up. i'm in the process of doing something really similar.

pulp fiction scene --->

- when you purchased your maxima did you notice a badge that said "Skyline GTR"
+ no
- do you know why you did see a sign on the back of your car that said "Skyline GTR"
+ because you don't own a skyline GTR

but seriously, those are real skyline lights and it will cost a few thousand to look "exactly" like that...

get the altezzas and paint them bodycolor, then go outside and pretend you're doing AWD launches...

yeah i was just wondering how to do it... the altezza thing is something that is a second option for me.

btw, what kind of body kit do u have on that pic? if it isnt one, leave it up to my n00bness.
