hmm... tough call, I'd probably go with chrome to keep it a little more "stock" looking... sometimes agressiveness won't look good with tan... whyd you get tan?

it amazes me that people on here cant make a decision on their own. make your own decision and get what YOU think looks the best.

btw piotroosh,
i dont know if your nissan emblem fell off or you debadged it. (im thinking it fell off since your other emblems are there) but if you took it off it would look better if you cleaned it up a bit. remove the stickiness and fill in the holes. if you want to do this, lemme know and ill tell you how.

Soonerfan.. i can make my own decision ;-) but... i thought maybe someone had this problem before.. let's say bought black ones , put them on and didn't like the way they matched lets say ...tires... that would save me $250 ;-)

and the pic with chrome tails its not my max... just found the pic to see if i like them. I have "all red" on mine ;( and i hate them

i personally dont like that look. especially since you can still see the line where the light meets the body.

i say go with black. they kinda look like AE lights but projectors and black tailights. but if you dont like that, get silver projectors with 2k2-2k3 tailights.

I would get the cleared out HID 02-03 lights they look better and shine light better too.

MaximaPolak I had 300ZX NA in black before ya had your car.... alot of people think U are cheap to get nice looking wheels so you paint the stockers some ghey color. I went from 18s to 16s for racing only- and mine where powdercoated. Peace out.

Polak in english is used as a derogatory term, the crrect way to say it is Pole

it is a nice gold max except for the ugly lip and all the stickers on the side. and needs clear corners. but that is my opinion.

I'd say go with the chrome projectors and the chrome SE tails. This is the route that I'm taking. Right now, I already switched from the black SE tails to the chrome ones. I think the chrome projectors looks so much better than the black ones on light color cars.

Go to page 2 of my cardomain site. The first thread has a pic of a black max with the black projectors photoshop-ed in. The second thread has a guy name PHX-Blue and he has a black max w/ chrome projectors. Hope this helps.
