If you all ever wondered what happened to all the hype over the production of the Altezza Taillights for the 4th generation maxima here's an answer from APC...

Thanks for your patience and continued interest. Tooling has not started and we
cannot give you a date at this time, due to the overwhelming demand we have had
on our current tooling needs. Please keep an eye on our website, www.4apc.net,
for updates on new applications.
Regards,
Briant
