That one of those mods that would be really tight if you could open up the taillight and get to the actual taillight lens. As it is here I would probably just covered the entire taillight with a red film.(Except the back up light of coarse) But that is just my taste. More power to you if you like the look. The cut out looks to be done well and with a steady hand so I cannot hate. I personally would have just gone a different way, thats all.

Okay that should come out pretty well. Before I decided to go with 2000 SE's I had lightly smoked some 2002 Maxima Taillights. Good luck.

I think if you took all the Redneck Ricer chrome strips all over every door jamb and seam off, the whole thing would look great.

the tailights themselves look awesome, the rest is hideous.

Dude, you already have a nice car, price is irrelevant.

Putting that crap on it makes it look like a cheaper POS. Your modding future is very dimly lit if you actually think that looks good at all, let alone makes it 'look more luxury'.

It makes it look like you gave your 6 year old niece a $12 gift certificate for Autozone/Pep boys, and let her decorate your car.

Take that crap off. If your going for cheap get a fiesta or something. My car was only 3000 but it needed work. Just cause you got it cheap doesn't mean you need to ruin it...

So much better without the chrome trim. I had the red overlays for a long time, then swapped a few sets and am now back to stock. If you search, there were members who sprayed "Transparent Candy Apple Red" model paint from Testors into the signal socket and it gave the signal a very clean red over the amber.

man that is refreshing. it's like going from a rusted out pinto to a...., well...., a Maxima.

it doesn't work great on the Green colour, but even the stock tailights untouched don't work well on that colour.

I think the lights would look good on another max, I'm just not a fan of green or gle maximas.
However +over9000 on removing the chrome.

I disagree with all of that, but that's not my car, it's yours

I'd consider getting SE tails from the 2000/2001, they'd suit that colour much better.

How about you lower it before doing any of that. And those wheels look awful in any color under the sun. So if you have money to spray your entire car gloss black, buy new wheels too.

Getting better every post! Every strip you take off looks better.

FYI, edit your pics so you don'[t have your Licence plate on the internet dude, especially if you ever post about what you have 'in' your car, etc. You can find out almost anything about someone from their lic. plate.
