Not certain yet. For this I may just do a write-up. I will be done with fabricating the LED assemblies for all Maxima owners on the 18th of February, then I am spending the next 2 months on finishing my interior and tails. At that point in time I am going to commence a massive led assembly sale for 4th/5th/6th gen Maximas OR the tails, depending on which has the more attractive profit margin. I will need to generate some funds to get materials to fabricate my own sideskirts, so more than likley...both.

sorry for the delay fellas but my school schedule is rediculous! Got my head burried in the books while I'm not bandaging my A-HOLE from all the bleeding! Hopefully I'll get some time to push forward soon though.

agreed, i was basing my opinion of them off of the picture on their site. it looked really horrible on there but looks fairly decent in that pic. more pics would be cool if you could.

I kinda like the idea of keeping all the lights in back red, similar to the g35 and other LED tails.

Were you able to bake the lamps open or did you have to cut them?

And of course props for your impatience. Cant wait to see them.

You know Metal... It doesn't count if you have to glue multiple lens peices back together in the end

HA! The lens is fully intact.

Damn, this is ALOT harder than I though. Ok, I will have the first ROW done tommorow. I need to hit up HD tommorow for some things and work on finishing the LED assemblies before I can really put some steam into this.

Pics tommorow...
