Looks great! Im planning to do that soon. I know how to do the headlights, but how did you do the corners? Did you just paint the entire housing inside?

yes I painted the entire housing I wanted my corners to be different from the others..my light output is fine because my corners have been rewired...

How come the corners are so black? The headlights don't match the color IMHO, same with the grille, but whatever floats your boat

Matallic97gxe - If you had bigger rims and a lower drop, you would have the nicest looking 4rth gen ext wise. I like the spoiler.

It looks okay, but the headlight housing look like something got burnt inside it.

That mod doesn't look good on your car. You have too much chrome stuff that does not flow witht he black.

Here is mine.

like a few people have said already, I'm not sure I like how the lights flow (or don't flow) with the trenz grille.

the lights themselves look pretty damn good, nice job with that, but there's something keeping it from looking just right.

as a side note, I like your car as a whole. a lot, actually. there are some people that like to think that beige maximas can never look as good as others simply because of the color... you prove them all wrong.

i like the AE style heads, just not the all smoked corners... maybe it will look better when you get the smoked diamond bumper lenses on there.

good job!
