I don't like the metal(chrome?) look around the tail light, is it possible to paint them?
Do i paint it inside? outside? or just put something to cover it?

Any pic/link/tip please! thanks u!!

 

To paint the inside you have to take them apart, which I don't know how to do. You can always paint the outer area around the circles to make it look like this. I bought an extra pair of GLE tails and had them painted.

 

2K2 tails look great, why do u want to change it?? oh nevermind... you have super black.

 

You would have to open them up and doing so is impossible.

 

Not impossible just very impractical and costly.....and they may not function as well as they once did. just buy some 2k-2k1 SE tails. does anyone know if they fit?
The SE tails have like a circle of red and clear surrounded by a faux carbon fiber-ish outer area.
real nice on a Supa black car.

 

IMO it would be better to just paint it from the outside. If you did not seal back properly, moisture could be trapped inside and cause more unnecessary problems. A good paint job should look good like Greg's2kGLE and last.

 

They are direct replacements.

 

i was considering having my vinyl guy put vinyl over the outsides, but i think i might get 2000 SE tails.. i like the red/clear as opposed to the red/orange

 

drivers side '00 Maxima tail light

 

Costly is for damn sure, I blew about $600 trying to get my tails all red, I busted 3 pairs of tail lights! Please explain how you think you can get them open, I would LOVE to hear it.

 

2k2's look nice...

 

I am not a big fan of Altezza- type lights, but these lights set the 2K2 apart ! I personaly think they make the car look smooth !

 

I think you mean, they look rice...

altezza-look is not a good look on any car

 

I saw the black chrome tail light maxima at Hot Import Night.
I took the picture but I don't know how to post it.

 

Email it to me, I'll post it

Its gray on the inside..am I wrong Ethan ?

 

I really dont like them that much either, I prefer the blacked out ones on my old 2001.

1st formal posting-
I love my taillight the way they are

 

I can trade you my 2K1 SE-AE Tail. Just PM me if you are interested.

Cheers

is there anything different about the AE tails compared to regular 2k1 SE tails?

 

Nope.

 

Just do like I did and find sombody with a 2K1 to trade with. I didn't like the chrome either. You can go with the black tinted ones off the SE or the solid red ones. Painting the outside is your only other option. The lights are easy to swap and many people are willing to trade.
