just put on altezzas( problem )
 
i paid for my altezzas today and installed them today...they look kinda weird to me...but i guess i just have to get use to it...the left side fits perfectly but the right side doesn't...i have to check it out again...dammit...i might need to go buy some rubber padding...the stuff that goes around the lens...does ne 1 have this problem?

Hey, same here I had the same problem. Take off the black rubber surround from the new altezzas, and you should be fine. If not, there is an edge on the outer tails (i presume you are talking about). Take a file, and file it down (the edge sticks out about an inch on the back of the taillamp, and I bet that's what is not allowing the taillamp to go in all the way--I had to file mine down, its a plastic "lip" of a sort". If you need help, let me know

Life is waiting for you!
 
Life.

How many times have you been
Pushed around
Is anybody there
Does anybody care
How many times have your friends
Let you down
Is anybody there
Did anybody stare
How many times has your faith slipped away
Is everybody high
Is everyone afraid
How many times have you wished you
Were strong
Have they ever seen your heart
Have they ever seen your pain
Life is waiting for you
It's all messed up but we're alive
Life is waiting for you
It's all messed up but we'll survive

Llfe 10-12-2001 09:18 PM

I got them because i sorta wanted them...not really sure yet...but i have them...i'm gonna cover up the altezzas with white vinyl so they look like the skyline lights sort of...like the other guy did with the dark maxima

JoesMAX 10-12-2001 09:42 PM

heh...oh yea...lol...what's the yellow circle in the middle on the outer tail lights?

JoesMAX 10-12-2001 10:36 PM

the flash makes it look yellow for some reason... the middle piece of the plastic looks a little different on the 95-96 altezzas, so i guess it reflects different for some reason... i should have someone photoshop that so it looks red lol

Sprayin70 10-12-2001 11:53 PM

most aftermarket stuff fits weird so hey its the price you pay to be cool.:goofy:

attn : JOES MAX
 
your car looks slammed
what springs/ shocks combo u riding on

and are those 18's?

JoesMAX 10-14-2001 09:50 PM

thanks for the compliment superblack... i had a graphic guy put black vinyl over the outside pieces of the altezzas, it wasnt hard to do considering he does vinyl work. It came out real good no bubbles or anything and its holding up fine, i just need to get some hyper red bulbs so the tails are a brighter red.. tunedup, its a photoshopped pic... in reality my car is jacked up lol... i need to drop it soon. the rims are 17 motegi MR5's.. and nizmolee, you can tell him to aim me at Joewitthamaxima... also, your ride is sweet man

JoesMAX 10-15-2001 04:26 PM

you and your :) in every post john lol... if you want we can work something out where you send them to me and i have the guy do it and ship them back to you... theyre not just a cut out.. he lays it over the altezza with it overlapping and when he gets all of the bubbles out he cuts the edges... plus its like tinting you spray it down, get the bubbles out then he uses a heat gun... email me if you wanna do it that way

Sexima 10-15-2001 07:34 PM

aite so maybe this will work
I buy off Greg, and then tell him to ship to you
and I give you labor charge, BTW how much ?
after that i get it?

JoesMAX 10-15-2001 07:44 PM

well you have to cover the shipping back to you, $$ for the guy to put the vinyl on, and a little extra for me to have to bring them to the guy to do it and all, hes like 15 minutes from me... i gotta box it up and all... im not gonna charge you much for that but i gotta get something to take the time to do that stuff... find out how much it is to ship it from 11725 zip code to where you live and well go from there

Sexima 10-16-2001 06:29 PM

aite, i dont have the money to get those yet...
but i'll save your email
