its not photoshopped cause there are other pics from different angles but it does look out of place.
personally i dont like the way it looks because the tailights are just tooo big for the back.
maybe if they were a little shorter and had a tighter fit it would look better.
still a good attempt though.

I met the guy who owns/used to own that max at a car show last summer. I posted pics of it in the NE forum a while back. I tried talkin to him about the car but it seemed like he didnt know a thing about cars, he was just a kid with money who was into the show scene. I asked him about the tails, and all he told me was that it was an expensive job and took a couple months. His auto tranny was built by level 10 too. That car used to be stillen kitted, bagged, and sittin on chrome wheels. I also remember him asking me about my AE headlights, he had never seen lights like them before.....

looks like a newer impala but somehow even uglier. nothing like having two sets of fog lights. 2k-2k1 interiors are the worst, i cant believe anyone would buy one.

Gotta give people some credit for trying custom things, but I don't care for it because the trunk seems too tall. If the bumper line followed below the reverse lights it might look better. That effect makes the trunk look really goofy too since it's so narrow and tall.

All I will say is they look better than stock 5G or 5.5G taillights, seriously! If the car were black it would be a decent rear end.... I guess my opinion just goes to show how much I hate the 5G rear (see also http://forums.maxima.org/showpost.ph...9&postcount=25)

That looks bad, awful. I'll give props for being creative but it doesn't blend well with the rest of the car.

Personal opinion, but those tails fit the lines of the 3rd gen body much better.

IIRC, this maxima was posted before (with kit and all). I think it is a conversion to an R33. First off, I don't know why you woul convert a 5th gen into an r33 when it looks a lot closer to an r34 (i.e. maxima zero photoshop0. But hey, 10pts for effort, 3 points for outcome.

that car was traded into the dealership i work at, the guy traded it for an evo. He took out the Sc and the bottle as well as most of the other stuff. The tails are actual skyline tails and they look better in person than they do in that pic.

trunk is too tall, i dont like the little gap between the bottom of the lights and the bumper. the color is just awful to, that was the worst color nissan created for the maxima, that and the seafoam green color. it might look better if the license plate wasnt in the trunk either, if it was located in the bumper. can anyone photoshop the trunk with no license tag in the trunk and just make it shaved.

Well, like a couple of people have already stated, you gotta give props for creativity and ingenuity. I mean, how many people SAY they're gonna 'do this' or 'do that', only to NEVER follow through with it??
I've never been a big believer/fan in the 5th gens anyway (except maybe kloogy and maybe one or two others) but I'd think it's gotta take a pretty nice-sized pair of "huevos" to sport those tails around and be proud of 'em.

The 5th gen rear is pretty ugly stock...the R33 doesn't fit the lines either. I think R34 might look better?

thats too bad the tails are done like that, if they wouldve kept the car stock looking (minus the clears) with the SC, you have a nice sleeper
