everythign went freaking fine heat the damn thing and took it out until i had to make a replica lens of the damn light cover dremel was too expensive to buy so i tried these heavy duty scissors but the light cover kept cracking on the way then i bought this small portable rotor that the guy at Sears told me it'll work, well it didn't work for ****!! damn i'm so ****ed i put everything back together and went home. ****

you know what else works, using the heat gun on the plastic as you cut with scissors

i dont get why people try this mod all the time and risk breaking the lense. Why not just save up and buy a set for $190?

Ant

if you want i can make them for you and just send them your way. Pm if you like


mike

yo ny96max, u got 190 to give me? damn think about all the money you can save and i doubt you can break the lens u just gotta be careful and patient if you break the lens damn you're stupid oh well

Know what else? The freaking period! And puncuation! Try it sometime.

Ya, and why would someone install their own intake. Just pay the mechanic. And that oil change thing, why get messy? Just pay someone else to do it!

Not everyone has Daddy to pay for everything. So some of us would rather do it ourselves. And some of us enjoy working on our cars. I put my own clutch in. Could have paid someone to do it, but had more fun and learned more doing it myself.

You get it now?

I used a box cutter, just score it a buch of times and use a file to even off the edges. It's not that difficult. You don't need a dremel tool or anything special. It may just take a little exta time. Trust me, if I can do it anyone can. Also I used a little silicone to make sure I got a good seal when putting them back together.


I know, my sig does not show my clear tails. Need new pics.

$190 is a lot of dough man. We're not talking about $12 tire rotations. Do I think its worth $12 bucks to have a shop rotate the tires for me? Yes. Do I think the red/clear tails are worth $190? Yes, I really do. They are my fav mods of all time and I'd pay $190 for em, but I can't, because I need the money for other stuff.
Actually, I think $190 is a bit too much. $150 sounds good.

Yea, no kidding. $190 is a lot of money. I wonder how much it costs them (the people who sell us the $190 clears...) to get the actual lights from the dealer. They obviously order in quantity and get a good deal... It does not cost them much to actually do the clear conversion.... so they must be making a pretty good profit. I think the price should be lowered just a little bit (well, by about $40), so we could afford them. I really want a pair of them.

If you look in the group deals forum there are members who will clear your tails and send them back to you for less than $190 but you are without them for a few days. Another .org member is selling the pre-cut light cover separatly for you to put in yourself for $25

I wouldn't mind paying the $190 for factory style clear tails but for tails that just have a piece of floresent light cover in them I would rather do it myself. $190 is a good chunk of the JDM variable intake manifold

yeah, I read it and said, "WHAT?"

If you have any patience and desire to make your car look good, you can do this mod for around $5.

Just take a sharp exacto knife, or even buy one of the special flourescent light cover cutters. What worked for me was heating the blade up, and then it would literally melt through the plastic and then you just sand it down and youre all set.

To separate the lens from the housing I put it into the oven for 10 mins at 215 degrees. Slowly but surely the lens came out. This really is not a hard mod, but takes a lot of patience.

I am the one that has two group deals going on right now for the red/clear tails. Here is the link to the first one which I do everything for you, you send me lights and I send them back, all over-night shipping for $100 http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....hreadid=133349 . And this is the one that more people seem interested in where we just send you the pre-cut pieces for $25 plus shipping http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....hreadid=133715 .

Thanks,
Tom

For the grace of God.. its not $190

its $190 shipped with BRAND NEW STOCK LENS

you think i make money off these things

go to your local dealership and find out how much a pair of stock lens cost.. then come back to me and call me a crook.. please..

in any light

if you want to be ripped off by me .. here is the link http://64.252.156.63/tails/ *sigh*

just a little FYI.. if you want to TN-Max's deal.. you are going to have to buy a new set of lights from the dealership and send it to him since you (stared) up your old ones and then thats going to run you about $100 + $160 ... hmm $260 total wow.. $190 is really a rip off huh

again i am not hating but..

how can you charge $25 for pre-cut lens that cost $5 for a sheet at home depot that cuts over 20 lens? i am guessing the $25 includes over night shipping.. if so i appologize

you guys are just to cheap to spend money on your cars. This has nothing to do with my dad, i make every payment for my car and i pay for all my own mods!
So shut your mouth and go try making a $hit pair of tails yourself you cheap *uck!!

Ant

So I guess that you missed that part about people ENJOYING working on their cars huh? Get a life!

All im saying is save your money up cheap a$$ and buy a set!! why bother making a set of your own, wich will probably look like crap, when you can buy a set from someone here that makes them all the time and will actually look decent when there done. Ive seen my share of homemade 97+ tails and they look horrible compared to say Doug's or CustomMax's red/clears.

So yeah i must be stupid for wanting my tails to look stock rather than "homemade"

Ant

hey now.. Ant and JDawg.. no need to get heated in here..

hey i am all for a guy doing a mod for himself.. it feels good when you do a mod for yourself..

but as simple as tails look to do.. they are not.. they require great patience..

just like some people wouldn't attempt a y pipe install.. and some people would.. some mods are not for everyone.. and as this thread clearly shows.. not everyone is going to be able to do it.. why can i do them so well? because i f#cked up enough of them to know where to do what and how to do it.. i have it down to a science i know how long i heat it up for.. where to pull .. and how to pull it..

with tails.. if you heat them up too much.. they melt.. and if you don't heat them up enough.. they crack.. i am not scaring anyone

but this mod is not for everyone.. thats why most people buy from me.. and then attempt to do their own tails after.. that way they alreayd have one done and nothing to worry about..

lots of people can pull an engine down.. doesn't mean they can do tails.. and not everyone has the patience to sit down and f#ck up enough tails to get it perfect..

Who cares? If you want to buy em, then go for it. But quit harrasing those that would rather make em!

yeah but there are somthings that you can do yourself like installing clear bumper lights, well you might of needed to do a saearch on that mod and there are somthings that arent worth the trouble, like a set of red/clears!

thats all im sayin in this post.

Ant

thank you Doug!!

HEAT GUNNNN!!! stop the oven crap..cook dinner in that..not your lights!
