Ok, now that my car was hit and has to go into the shop it's going to be painted, hopefuly to match my custom colored pearl. I was going to install the R-33 tail lamps, but now I'm thinking of getting the front end and doing an entire converstion. I thought of the R-33 because its a 1995 and my max is a 95 therefore making it chronolgoically correct. I found the parts with no HID lights I'm looking at aprox 2k for parts plus shipping. I can get the HIDs but those lamps are 1,000 a lamp making it close to 3,500 before all of the body work, so I'll pass. What do you guys think? If I can't afford a Skyline I'll make my own!!

Jeremy,
Did you say your car was hit in the back? How bad? Any damage to the trunk lid and the rear quater panels? You could convert your rear to a 2K maxima. I think that would be pretty easy and cheaper compare to the Skyline rear end. There's a new rear bumper replacement out for the 2K max. It's in the new Import Tuner

Yea, it was hit in the rear As it sits the rear kit piece needs to be replaced and the dual exhaust is loose, I'm thinking a broken hanger. Doesn't look that bad, just upsetting. I thought about doing a 2k max but I like the Skyline idea better, what's you opinion?
