what do you guys think about swapping the 2k max's tails with an i30's? of course some work would have be done on the trunk but how do you guys think it would look?

I don't really care for the i30 lights soo... I don't think it'd be worth it.

Not much of a difference

b/w the Max and the S-type to validate the switch...

Alcohol makes me quite violent. Having something thrown at my car makes me want to seriously kill, that person, I don't show it outside, but deep inside, I plot his downfall

Hogan,

It sounds like you've been starting into those HID lights too much. We might have to reign you in a bit.

I don't think the Jaguar tail lights look any better.

i saw an 97 accord coupe at school today with aftermarket Jaguar S-Type imitation tail lights. well.....it was a fresher approach to out-dated and over-abused Altezza lights, but something was missing from the lights...it just looked too plain...it's a great looking lights but lacks that 'wow' feeling when the Altezza lights first came out...

now, as far as changing out to I30 backlights...i'd be happy with just the SE tail lights..
