They look great from here! I whould love to see a pic of them during the day, is that possible? I have been having some trouble with my 1/2 clear 1/2 red tails{paint don't match} so I am thinking about getting some Altezzas and painting them body color.

Pictures would be great, thanks! As for vinyl, I don't know anything about it and my car is dark green so it probably whould not match? I am a pro at cooking tail lights in the oven now, so taking them apart to be painted whould not be a problem

I tried taking them apart about a month or two ago. I had no problem getting them apart and painting them black to match my car but I could not get them back together for nothing. I tried heating them and clamping them I tried just about everything for two days and finally I cracked one of the lense and had to order new ones. I don't think I would try to paint the inside part again.

Looks MUCH better than regular altezzas!!
The black sticks out though, ya know? It would be even cooler if it was JUST the circles, and the other part blended in with the trunk. That would like really good. But very good work.

I got it done at Designer Image in deer park long island... i met the guy through PJ (Maxima97GLE) he puts the vinyl over it, takes the bubbles out like they do with tints, cuts around the edge, then uses a heating gun to dry it... they came out real good there arent any bubbles... if anyone wants to they can probably send out altezzas to him and have him do that unless they can drive there... let me know and ill help work somethin out,

this is the same guy that does our (Team Maxximum Performance) windhield banners, tints, and graphics. P.J. (the other one) is the man when it comes to vinyl car graphics. He did my whole car (pics coming soon) and he did my tail lights too. Unlike Joe (who's ALtezzas look SO SO SO much better now... good job Joe) I have red and clears and did it in another design. Once I get pics I'll post em. If anyone need directions to Designer Image let me know.
Again... Your Altezzas looks HOT now. Joe

not a huge fan of the altezzas on a MAX at all.. but if i were to do it that is one way..
I had the GS400 tail lights in my possession and i was gonna have a body shop chop up the rear end for 500$ and fit them in, but the wiring would not have worked out.. too much rewire and all that for me..
I am surprised the vinyl turned out well.. i worked for a sign company and did all the vinyl on my car myself (then i ripped it off) so i know how hard that probably was..
nice work.

im gonna drop it soon, the grill is taken care of cause i got a SMX grill on now, and im most likely gonna shave the emblems still debating it... i just dont like that theres too big of an open space without the emblems on... i thought about that one... that would be cool having people wonder what kind of car it is lol.......... check this pic too its of the tails at night
