Any body with a 5th gen. have side markers? If you do, post some pics. And I'm not talking about the bumper lights, I mean side markers like Audi's, VW's and well I guess some Honda's. I just orderes a pair from SAAB, and was wondering the proper placement, and what they looked like.

Thanks,
Dominic

 

It's basically a Maxima.Org 5th generation trademark. If you look around, you'll see them on 98% of the 5th gens that post here.

Check the members rides section too.

 

you mean the one on the front quarter panel near the front door?
those other cars have them because they dont have them on the bumper. i remember seeing one person that did and it looked funny since it was just an extra light

 

Yeah those are the ones I am talking about. Does anyone have any pics?

 

That would look really ugly on the Maxima. And plus i dont think anyone would have it on there 5th gen maxima.

 

just leave them stock, clear, or smoke them.. i dont think what your doing is going to look good at all.

 

i would just clear the corners... dont make ur max look like a honda tho...

 

anyone have a pic of smoked front and rear bumper lights on their 5th gen?

 

Ok, I don't want to know whether or not i should do it, but rather if anyone has done it and had pictures.

 

I think the majority of the 5th gen members focus on modding the corner markers.

My fault I didn't understand what you were referring to in the first post.

 

Well against popular demand, I got the markers today, and am putting them in tomorrow. They are the smoked side markers from a Saab 9-5 ARC, so I'll post pics up when I'm done. From just holding them up to the car, I think they'll actually look really good despite already having the bumper lights.

 

ya that would be over done! since you have front side markers and rear,

 

Thanks buddy. Your opinion offers me soo much help.

 

OH2kblackMAXX,

I asked the same question a few months ago with no response either. I guess there are only 2 people on the org that think fender mounted side markers are useful and cool. I would like to do it but I'm hesitant to drill a hole in my fender. I'm planning to construct a side marker that mounts to the underside of my side view mirrors (something like the Ford Expedition, etc) but much smaller. If I don't like it then I can patch the small hole and it won't be noticable. Please post pics when you're done. Good Luck.

 

Well I'm utterly stocked about putting the markers in today. For just having them held up there, they look like they're gonna be badass!

 

check my cardomain....

 

 

those arent even smoked....they look like someone messed up and paint it while painting the car. very clean tho

 

yo i think they'll look hot with the side markers. The G20s have nice looking ones on the car.

 

I had put these sidemarker mods on my '95 when I had it. They were the universal ones where you had to drill a hole into the fender and run the wire to the turn signal. They look good on the 4th gener's, but they look kind of fugly on the 5th gener's. Another way of putting it.....

 

Maybe I am missing something, but if you already have side markers front and back why do you want another one in the fender?

 

Are these the ones from custom enterprise?

I did Jason (soonerfan)'s side markers. NO, they are not "smoked," they are painted with the same gloss black paint that the body of the car is painted, and then 2 coats of clear coat.

When off, they blend in like they're not even there. When turned on, they still shine brightly, as you can see in this pic of my car, which has the exact same setup. The key is to just use a light coat of black paint, so it's thin enough to shine through.

 

Thats so sick, I can't decide what I want yet, smoked or blacked out, I'll have to dig up some pictures in the stickies or on car domain

 

Thank you!!!! Someone actually agrees with me.

I had to get the light harness from Saab, so they'll be functional by tomorrow and I'll take some pics a post them.

I have a strong feeling you nonbelievers will change your minds. You can barely notice these until the light comes on. They look really good with the BUMPER LIGHTS.

 

Has anyone used VHT Niite Shade Tailight paint to smoke out their side markers? Does this stuff work? Here is the link to Custom Enterprises

http://www.customenterprise.com/view.../vts/design017

 

yeah used that stuff but didn't like the outcome. be very careful with it and follow the directions word for word!!!

 

I got clears from custom maxima, and put led replacement (white) bulbs in them (front) i left my rear ones red (stock)

 

Here's mine, smoked from CE. I wish they would come out with the rears already, but with the rear being red it doesn't look out of place. If I painted the rears they would definately not flow well. First pic is a comparison of the clear and the smoked. 2nd pic is the clears on the car. 3rd pic is of course of the smokes on the car.

 

Not exactly smoked....but sexy as hell

 

my smoke front and rear side markers

your pic is too big scale it down

 

Where do you buy those smoked out side marker lights

 

^^ Custom Enterprise.

 

What's the update? Have you done this yet?

 

Acutally I am at school in Indianapolis right now and haven't done this yet, but believe me I will have it done soon enough. I am just as anxious to see the results as you.

 

How did you make your sidemarkers? I assume the same way as Irish?

 

actually Lamin-x. It s film that goes right over the lights themselves. They're also removable so it definitely fit what I wanted. I bought smoked...used it on my tails and the side markers. I don't think they made rear side markers tinted but with this you can. I can provide more pics if you want.

Did you just order film from them and cut it yourself or did they cut it for you? If you want to send me pics you can email me...mkendrick@townisp.com
I would love to see how you did it.

 

Yes, could you provide more pics of your tail lights. I want the smoked look but didn't want to take them apart to spray them with the tint.
I would like to see how you did the tails..if you can't post them here you could send them to my e-mail at supermax2k@hotmail.com
