AE pic.......finally

Hey guys you probably dont care much but just uploaded a pic of my max.....didnt have a chance to do to much to it yet i just got the clear bumper lenses in though, let me know what you guys think! Any mod suggestions would be awesome since im not too familiar with the max.

P.S Would you guys switch to the clear bumper lenses all the way around or keep the red/yellow ones?? I have the clear fronts in now they look nice but the red ones in the back look kinda nice too, any opinions??

you might want to link the pic or setup your homepage.

no difference at all but theres no pic. i was suggesting two ways to link it in cause you did not know how to post a pic on here. you asked what everyone thinks about it but there is no picture to comment on.

looks real nice. i think its personal preference on the lights. i thought having both of them clear on my black one looked ricey at first but it looked cleaner to me having them match afterwhile. another cheap thing that in my mind did some good was replacing the front and rear turn signal bulb with the chrome ones. they still blink orange but make the lenses look much nicer in my opinion. ive never seen a majestic blue 2k-2k1 in any trim, is it a repaint? i thought that color started in 2k2.

Are those 2004 Max rims? They don't look like the standard 6-spokes.

They don't look like it...the rim looks like it has a cave-in in the center, and the spokes look sharp around the wrap. Maybe it's just the angle...*shrug*

The more I look at my clears on my black Max the less I care for them. Something about having them "up against the dark color" that just doesn't do it for me, although I do prefer them over the OEM amber/red lenses. I do like the clears on lighter colors though (e.g. Silver).

At a minimum I am going to smoke a set and insert them time permitting. What I would like to try to do is fabricate inserts that match my paint and fit flush/tight with an almost seamless transition against the body (objective - make them virtually unnoticeable to the average eye). Maybe someday.

To answer your question and give ya' "one more opinion;" I would put the clears all the way around. Nice max BTW...

O ya...what do u guys think about tints on the Blue AE? Tossing around the idea, I promised myself I wouldnt ghetto this car out since my last car was all rimmed and tinted out (90 cavalier) when I was younger. although tints prolly would look nice, what u guys think?

Ghetto the Max with tints? I don't know how things are up in MA, but in FL tints are not an option but a necessity. You'll have a hard time finding a car down here that's not tinted.

Look at some other majestics and see what you like best, just as long as you don't get some nasty ricey tint you can't go wrong w/ that

IF I were in Florida like the rest of my fam, I would def go with the mirrors most likely, but up here they are not really important, although i do like the privacy of them and all, will prolly end up getting it after the summer when I can deal with not rolling down my windows for a few days
