They look like Altezzas and look horrible IMO. Check out the group deal forum. Theres someone offering headlight and tailight tint overlays. I think those will look 10x better.

Heyyy it's been a while since I post anything.... I wouldn't diss on them before seeing them installed on a car.

Bad: looks like an Altima on steroids. Good: Will grab looks from everybody.

Not really feeling these.....I want LED's but only in a red tail light........like a stock look but with LED...... one question though is this a plug and go? or will there have to be something in line so the electrical does not freak out.......

They don't look that bad...why are you guys so against them.....is it too much chrome (bling) look to them or something? I think on the right color max, they may look nice......

I have always kinda liked the Altezza look and I like the Altima tailites too.

I am going to go out on a limb here......

I think they would look good on a red car, because the red lenses blend in and the clear lenses would add some contrast.

Ehhh I really dont like them. Only if they made them with the stock lens and LED's, like the G35s. Like 04RedOpMax said, they would probably look good with certain colors like the red opulance. But Im not a fan or altezzas or anything that looks like them.

Hey Custom Enterprise...do you think you guys can make one with a red lens instead? Youll probably get more sales on it.

Thanx, Glude.

I guess you are not going to be the first one to try em out on a red car,huh?

I would still like to see em on a car, maybe at dusk or night, with the brakes on and off. Hard to get a feel for them with them sitting alone on a stand.

Personally I like what Deus did better by spraying the lenses dark. I'm just too chicken to try that on mine...

Maybe you could buy them, and then put some red tinted paper on top of them.... It would definitely look better than then photoshopped pic. Problem is, I wouldn't pay $300 for taillights just to make something else to them because I don't like them!!!

I was going to also say red tint would make them way better, but will the reflectors still, well, reflect?

I agree with the majority, all red lens would be much better, way to ricey.

I'm definetly a hater on alterzza's but for some reason I don't think they'll look bad on the silver max's. But I'm still gonna hate on them. Great design with the leds but why go the clear route. Infinit FX just took the clear route on there 06 models.

We should look into getting an led circuit board replacement for our tails, if its possible

I learned my lesson with the eyelids, not to judge until I see it on our cars.

Its true the chrome looks ricey, but the overall appearance of the lights look good. I think if enough of a response goes back to CE, then I think they would be more than willing to change their design to make them whatever color you guys want.

To each his own, but at least with every new part out there, there is more options for one to make his car the way he wants it to look.

To CE, I think we would like to see these lights in a red tint. But thank you for taking interest in our 6th Gen Max.

My local hobby store has red spray window tint. Its new, and kind of expensive, but that may do the trick. I think CE ought to replace the lense with either red, or preferably a dark tinted lense. I think that would be really nice and I would go for it. I still may buy these and tint the lense myself. Would like to see a photochop of these with red and with tinted lenses.
