Would it be possible to clear out my tail signals ('96 tails) the same way as the Maxima can? I saw a pic before of someone doing it to their I30. I think it was SYCEFIRO's friend who did it.

Wouldn't the plastic lens stuff clash with the plastic lens of the reverse light thats next to it? would it be better to just take out the amber plastic piece out and seal it back up without putting a plastic lens from a flourecent light in?

i have a question, why did you need two lip spoilers? Did it look like crap with one or is it because it didnt fit with one.

I needed two lip spoilers because the I30 front bumper is larger than the Maxima's front bumper. Just one front lip is too small to fit onto the I30, so I had to buy two and the shop made one bigger front lip out both of them.

Now that you are on the subject I30CeFiro,

How did they make the lips into one?Did they just fit right into each other or what?Hay check out the group buy on the type II wing because it may be your last chance to get one.About clearing out the tails you may want to get 98-99 tails because they have a real nice look simalar to the 2K I30,you could probably find them at a Junkyard for $200-$300.Good Luck and give me all the info you know about making thefront lip fit thanks a lot.

im gonna try one of two methods. ill be breaking the housing of both the outers and the centerpiece. some 97+ owners have made it totally clear w/o adding a flourescent lamp cover in it. if that looks ok, ill leave it as is, otherwise ill put the fluorescent lamp cover piece in the outers and centerpiece. i plan to get the 98-99 tails in the future anyways. btw, the 98-99 style is different in japan than in the us. in japan it's all clear at the bottom. in the us, there's some red at the very edge..
