95-96 Red/Clear Tails Now In Stock!!!
I am glad I didn't get the first batch now.
I call custommaxima and was ordering the taillights and everything. Gave my credit card # and the guy tells me it's declined. I haven't the slightest idea why. Go out later that day get gas with the same "declined" card and it works fine. A blessing in disguise, I guess. But I will be getting the new and improved clear/red lights.

if the new and improved tails look a lot better (especially if the sloppy lighting is cleaned up, and maybe if the rubber outlining is better...cuz those are the only 2 probs i still have)...i dunno what im gonna do. hopefully Greg you could be kind enough to send me a new set and i could send back the old, but for now guess i'll just have to wait and see what everyone says about the new tails.....sigh

5+ yrs on the org and im finally seeing 95/96 red/clear tails in production!!!
I actually saw these in person on a green 4th gen driving next to me. Everyone is correct about the light not being even, when the kid hit his brakes the light seems staggared and not smooth. But overall with DC clears up front and a good wax job these should look good on most 4th gens. I say wax job cause these tails are VERY shiny and looked horrible against this kids dull looking paint.

I'm thinking the same thing. There are all of these problems that I had to fix myself with no real help from them. It wasn't like it was hard or anything but its the principle.

Still working out the kinks with the factory on all those issues. Remember guys I said that we will be happy to send you replacement lights when they came in. As far as improvements we have listed 27 different major and very minor things for the factory to change on the lights. All will make these lights fit and look excellent. In the end these will fit and look better then most other lights that are available now.
I'll post again in the end of the week when i get more updates from the factory.

So Greg, will the 2 week deadline you told me about during our phone conversation last Tuesday (July 5th), in which I'll be getting my replacement tails, still going to happen or will it be pushed back? Also, take a look at the pic below. See how the two tails differ in the way it lights up? The oem's entire lense being illuminated evenly, and the CE being too bright around the middle areas of the lenses. Is this one of the kinks that will be worked out?

Then again, i cant complain...you guys have been spending some time on these, there is always gona be problems with the first sets...
Nice to know you guys are allowing the defective ones to be sent back, i have had some bad experiences with your guys in the past (CE) but it looks like you guys are improving
Now get these things perfect so i can buy a set!

I have seen these lights in person at a meet last weekend. They light up the same way in person. I noticed this when the owner was backing up his car into a space where I was standing at. I got a really close look at the tails while the reverse light was lit and when he applied the brakes. I actually made a comment about it and he agreed. But I guess he is not as **** as I am.

How is it being lazy if I did not know that? It's not like I knew it was on the first post and I was too lazy to hit the little '1' button on the bottom, right.
: Besides, his extension is not on the first post.

btw, i was goin to a meet and had my bro take a pic of ur car.
did u have to do any of sanding/ modifications to get em to fit? either way i want one.
Yep, I'm with Nadir. I do like these better than the David L's that I have, at least during the day. At night, I highly prefer the David L's.
I'll probably get a pair and see if I can stick LED's in.

i actually sent it back because it arrived with a few small scratches that were too deep to buff out. i couldve kept them but im real **** about perfection, besides it was an opportunity to get a set with all the bugs fixed.
Same here, mine came damaged. It is still here, when UPS drops off my new one, I'll exchange that with the damaged ones. Hopefully, the two weeks turn around time that Greg told me still holds true.

This is probably something you should try and discuss with him privately
I've tried. I can't call them from work, so I try to PM them and they never answer. They are talking about exchanging tails in this thread so why should it be a secret.If they are exchanging all sets then people should know and if they aren't then people should know. Everyone knows what is wrong with the tails anyway. If Greg doesn't want to post about it he can PM me.
