Well if we must be fair, with so many changes in delivery and ship dates, I don't fault buyers for having to back out with changes in their situations as well. These are hard times right now for many.

I'm still getting mine though...

OK guys it looks like we are set for Saturday morning. Max2damax, Myself (silver), Majestic_MAx05 (blue), Deus (blk), and 07 Graymax (Gry, 6.5 gen) Will be meeting up at my house early Sat morning to install our lights and also take pics of all the tail light colors on these 4 colors of cars, to hopefully help some of you guys decide which color to get (I'm still unsure...)

And I get my new Canon SLR on Thursday so we can take/post some pretty pics by the afternoon.

JUST ORDERED.

Can't wait to receive them. I ordered the red lights to keep the factory look but give it that Infiniti M35 look. Can't wait!!!! Then I'll replace the 3rd brake light to match....

MAD2DAMAX, anyway to start producin a 3rd brake light to match each specific color of lights (red, clear, black, & smoke) to match the tails or if you know of a website that already does this I'd appreciate it.

That would make the *** end of any Max look just a sexy as a phatty on a hottie.

If there is anyone that is changing out the tails that would like to part with their factory set, send me a pm with a price(cheap,cheap,cheap). I am wanting to build my own custom LED taillights and need a extra pair.

I'm going out on a limb here since I haven't checked actual prices but I'm betting a set of OEM rear tails cost more than this upgrade unless purchased used from a junkyard!!!

They are 181.94 each here:http://www.nissanparts.org/oem_parts.html
But you have to deduct use and abuse and depreciation off the life of the taillights.
