Opinons..

I have a white 2001 SE, do these lights look cheesy or do you think they would look good on my car. I personally hate the stock lights they ugly and i'm looking to get some different ones. Also do you think putting a SE-R emblem on a maxima is stupid, obviously Nissan doesn't make a Maxima SE-R never has even though the Altima recently came out with an SE-R version. I just thought the SE-R emblem would look cool but I bet people would hate.

Headlights

SE-R badges looked good on the B13 Sentra and B14 200SX. They got kind of big and gaudy on the B15 Sentra, and the L31 Altima's badges look pretty much the same as the B15 Sentra's.

ebay projectors look stupid and you don't have an SE-R, so don't pretend like you do. don't worry about spending your money on badges right now and do some worth while mods..

I don't like the SE-R badge on cars that aren't really SE-Rs, but I have to admit that it's less stupid than a GT-R badge. At least there is a real SE-R powered by a VQ now. I see all kinds of idiots running around with GT-R badges. The funniest have to be the guys with V6 Mustangs. I bet they don't even know what an RB26 is.

what he said...

Those HIDs are great if you can find a good deal and you can black out the housing to make em look like projectors while still enjoying the nice output...

There is no Maxima SE-R, so having that on your car would be

Putting an SE-R badge on a Maxima is almost as cool as peeing your pants!!! ...If putting an SE-R badge on your Maxima is cool, then you can call me Miles Davis!!!
