If anyone still wants to buy the ALL CLEAR tails for the 95/96 max, here's the link:

http://www.stillen.com/Sportscars_de...id=6419&page=1

Too bad theres no pix, but they say its the same as the stock but all clears.

Well I finally got a response from him and this is what he said:

"hello micah,

we called into Nissan, but locally sold cars did not have the
clear/red combination.

We will actually produce the lens in full clear then apply a red dye
to create the red portion.

Our red will be a shade lighter than the original. Also, with your lens
you may recall you can see clearly thru the lens. Our unit will come
up slightly, frosted looking.

David"


So this is our options, either we get all the lenses replaced or go with all clear outer lenses. Reply with which option you'd prefer.

ok i am willing to pay for all clears. tell him to make clear outer and inner lights and ship them to us and we will go buy paint and paint them ourselves cause that is the only option that is left. unless we see the color of paint he will use cause if it looks like our red right now, let him paint the clears, if not, i will paint them myself. that is my opinion. everybody agree?

I'm a very lazy person, if he can do all the paiting and trouble for the same price, then I will take it.
I don't mind replacing all lens to mach the color.

Pictures would be very good.

Also if no other option, I will take all clear

tell him to make all clear for both inner and outer lights cause if he only makes the outers, the clear part wont match with the inner light and will look rice. so tell him to make all clears inner and outer lights.

Hey who ever started this Deal send me an email. I can make this a lot easier for everybody! I saw this when it frist started and I was in but I could not pass up some other deals that came my way; so I had to pull out. But enough about my BS. On my home from work I pass by APC's wherehouse and I stoped by to look around. To get to the point. I got the phone number of thier sales director. His name is Mike ( something) I can't remember, but he is the one we ( felow 96 max owner) need to talk to... Get a hold of me so we can get something together so we can get some 100% well made products from a well known company no running around any more. Hey It is worth a try isn't it???What do you guys think?

no what i meant is that the clear part on the outer tail does not match perfectly to the clear of the inside light. the red matches perfect thanks to testors paint.

hey there is no pic yet because they haven't made them. But if we have enough people we can sway them into making a special request product. Beacuse the customer is always right.....That type of stuff. But they will Most likely look like there all clear tails with the bottom red isn't that what we all want.?

Hey I would like to have the person that started this thred email me, so that we can call the guy from APC formally and make some kind of request that he can take seriously. Not have some guy call him and say "I want some lights?" Everybody understand I want these as much as everybody else dose; but lets do this the right way and, get the red and clears made once and for all!!!!!!!
My email is in a previous reply.

Dammit i couldnt wait anymore, I got me some VHT Niteshades for a mere $10 here locally and im gonna deck out the top part. If this works out ill still be in depending on the price, cause technically right now i have matching reds on the bottom (factory) and who cares what color is under the niteshades because its so dark no one can see it anyway.

Yeah I just did the same thing 2 days ago and it looks awesome, but for some reason I would still prefer real red/clears
