New Grille and Tail Lights *PICS*

I got tired of waiting for the Circular LED tails so I bought the ebay one and tinted them out. It looks a lot betttter than the chrome. The LEDs are very bright and make the car look more aggressive. I also bought the replica AT grille. I have to get the trim painted body color and the mesh a darker black.

Here are the pics.

I took it to a shop and they used a THICK film. And I mean, THICK. It was almost like Rubber. It cost me $100 alone, just to tint them.

Looks very nice! Especially considering it doesn't look like those LED tails will be here anytime soon I sent an email to a company who produces LED tails and a bunch of other things for other vehicles. Let's see what they say......

IMO the taillights look good but I am waiting for the others to come out or not changing mine at all. Grill is sweet too! Once painted I dont even think anyone will know its a replica of the AT grill.

Looks good.
Tinting the tails got rid of all that "riceness" of how they come.
How is the fit of the grill. Looks good from your pics.

Nice. Those tails actually look 100% better with that tint on there. Looks good. Also, I almost wanna say that that I like your replica grille better than the actualy AT grille. The border on it looks a little thicker which makes it seem to fit better. Did you get that on Ebay too?

The eBay grill is not a replica of the AT grill, it seems to be very different, it has rounder and thicker frame, it curves more and it looks nicer too. It is not surprised that other company would design new aftermarket parts for the Maxima as well, rather than copying AT.

I definately agree with everyone else, those lights look much better with tints on them than leaving them as they are originally. Seeing this in your car has made me actually consider getting them and doing the same to mine. How dark are those tints though? As for the grill, not much a fan of it. Looks empty and the "border" is just too thick all throughout.

ok, first i want to apologize for posting my questions in maX5's thread...but i'm too new to start my own at this time. please PM me with answers if you will. i'm looking at purchasing a new grill for my 08 maxima. i've noticed a few out there...I had my mind made up on the e&g classic mesh grill...then thought how hard it would be to clean it being that i live in Illinois. lots of salt this season......anyhow, I then noticed Look-at-my-MAX's black grill and that just looks SICK!!!! I think i want a black grill now...suggestions please, pic's please...anything is helpful..type of grill you have and how hard to keep clean, where you got it from, etc....thanks in advance to all of you

Yeah i like them too, since they are tinted.

BTW, can we see some pics made during the day and night, for example when the brake lights are on/off etc? Do you have any by chance?
That would be nice to compare the lighting output.
Thanks!
