I'm undecided if I like that rear conversion or not. I would never dream of actually doing this to my car, but I was wondering if anybody has done it and/or their opinions because I thought it was interesting and I had never seen that picture before or heard it discussed

 

makes it look like the impala

i dont dig it

 

I'd rather be slammed with a stillen kit.

 

Ive seen somebody in the process of doing this on a 4th gen or 1st gen I30.

Can't recal who it is though

 

I've only seen one car that the kit looks good on... a Skyline.

 

i like my rear end the way it is, and the skyline rear how it is, so ill just leave the two alone.

 

true

 

i like my rear also but im down for a clean front switch

 

Tail Lamps Look Like Impala.leave Stock

here is a photoshop i did awhile back when i was considering doing it...i even bought the tail lights, and changed my mind at the last minute....
b/c i got into the custom cf trunk group buy....

this photoshop consist of the r34 tails, customized stillen rear(i know it's crooked, too lazy to fix it) and custom dual exhaust(i used the greddy one in the photoshop)


the original pic was of a different color, so colored it the same as mine as much as possible, i believe it was originally y2kse...something, i can't remember his sn right now.... =_

 

actually it looks nice in ur photoshop hmmmmm.......::thinking about it::

 

yeap... i `ve seen worse...just not a fan of the spoiler.

 

the tail end is the only part of the REAL skyline that I don't like...the rest of the car is gorgeous, but the tail is ugly IMO....would never want to put it on a maxima!

 

IMO i think the R34 Conversion is hot, even though it isn't real... Seriously, if a R34 pulled in front of me a mile away, I know it's a R34 and not an Impala. Also, we should say (if you want to say it) the Impala looks like the Skyline, not the other way around. The R32 has had these circular tails first.

I can't beleive it's being compared to an Impala.

 

heres the true convertion

a cookie to who ever guesses what car it is.

 

looks like that conversion was on a early-mid 90s Accord. Whatever it is, it still looks stupid!

 

.....I can think of some cars that had two pairs of round tail lights long before the Skyline......

 

The mid section is wayyy too boxy... the reason I like the tail conversion on the 5th gen above is because the body kinda flows with it.. like I said.. and the spoiler is fulgy..IMO

 

Point taken... but the R32 still came out with the lights before the Impala..

 

true true....I just think they look ugly on the R32 and the Impala too.....I like the taillights on some of the other Skyline variants much better....

 

 

I coulda sworn there acutally was a Maxima with a R34 rear end conversion. Some reason Motorex comes to mind when I think about it.

 

it's an old acura legend!

 

yup thats a 91-95 Legend, you can find him on www.acura-legend.com

 

Yah that is Y2KevSE car...or was...haha

 

i think it's just not right to do this to a maxima....a max is a max, a skyline is a skyline...leave it that way...our maxes look the best the way they are..they just look stupid and cheap when they try to look like something they're not...

 

whose maxima is that?

 

I like the stock rear end better.

 

The black one is mine, the satin blue one is some guy I met at a show in CT, he isnt on the org as far as I know, I remember seeing the car on ebay as well so he musta sold it.

 

Nice i like it, customizeing just under the rice ________ .

 

Kinda Cool, but definitely would have to see in person.

 

im sorry but that is an ugly ugly ugly ugly maxima. ugly.

...and as far as the conversion, id say a camry even though i dont think ive ever seen a camry with anything done to it ever.

 

its actually a legend.

 

correct, it's a 94 legend. It's not even close to being done though.

no cookie for you, but heres some popcorn opcorn:

 

There is an A33 with the R34 front and rear. It was an electric blue type color...

 

isnt there a yellow 4th gen or 5th gen that had the conversion? well wahtever it was it was ugly

 

your thinking about this car

 

huge lower grill + no intercooler to go there =

and that tail still looks hideous....

 

those tails are uggggly! i'd definetly leave stock but :+1: on the impala light being modeled after r34's, i can tell the difference hands down.
