I have a 96 Max and had seen a maxima with red clear tail lights. I have come to the point that they are hard to find. Is there a way to make them. Any info would help

 

not for the 96 max from your own tail lights. Unfortunately only 97-99 max's can be cleared out. You can get all clear tails and then paint them half red however I don't think they are manufactured anymore, so findin them would be the same as findng red clear tails.

 

for the price that you'd pay for the 96 tails, i would just get the 97-99 trunk, bumper, and tailights...

I saw 1 for sale on Ebay just a few days ago, but I cant find it right now, I guess he sold it or im hoping that you were quick and bought it

 

Wouldn't you need to change out the rear quarters too? But you're probably joking anyways, I'm just a bit slow...


Actually, I would suggest that anyone looking for red/clear tails for the 95,96 go to this page:
http://www.nopionline.com/index.cfm?...embly&vaffid=0

I have not purchased them... though I am planning on it soon.

I could not tell you about the quality, color, or status of their inventory (if they are in fact in stock and ready to ship).

Later,

nopi does not sell them anymore. Thats what I was refering to. I don't know of any other place that did. I called them a month ago.

 

Yeah nopi does not sell them. You could always red out the amber on your tails. It tells how to do so in the faq and it looks much better than amber...

Here is a link for the how to in the FAQ

And here is a pic of them on Nadir_S's maxima

you can make them pretty easily one of two ways actually. First way: Get red transparent tape and apply, the instructions are at www.VQpower.com under 4th gen how to's or second: You can paint them with stain glass paint (red of Course)you can find this at http://members.cardomain.com/95maxofdvo

 

nadir said after a while the redded out amber on the tailight crapped out and turned a nasty red that didnt match

 

nadir used the sticky red vinyl tape... wat about trasparent candy apple red paint..anyone had experience on paint wear or crapping of the paint??

 

 

yes right now you have to buy the all clear and paint them red. it does suck but unfortunatley thats all you can do right now. I am trying to get custom tails made for the 4th gen 97-99 max right now and if they work out i will start to work on the 95-96 tails, it all depends on if my contact will be able to do it or not, he is looking at my car a week from friday. They will be custom red clears, not the ones that you currently see now but actually clear like the sm tails from the korean model maxima, so if all goes well for the 97-99 tails the 95-96 will be in the near future and they won't be painted either
Ryan
I'll keep everyone updated

 

got a pic of what they would look like? Like the korean maxima?!




Eric

 

Bought all clears from an org member for $75 ( ) and painted the bottom half red. If anyone has questions on how to paint the bottom red, PM or e-mail me and I'll be glad to help out.

You guys REALLY need to get tails like mine..

 

This is what the tails will look like





And for the 95-96 guys

 

that sm525v...i wonder if we could just get that outer tail? i remember forever ago people talked about getting their tails to see if any would fit cuz they were cheap but no one ever bought them.

 

they won't actually fit they are a little different but i will be getting these tails made that will look exactly like those, hopefully the 97-99 ones will be done this summer sometime.
Ryan

 

just buy my all clears for sale in mint condition

link dont work...






eric

 

damn man thats hot, are you going to be selling them too or just making a set for yourself?

update , check my sig pic above for the picture of all clear tail lights which are for sale

 

smithdogg1 what is that website that shows you how to red out the ambers on your rear tail light on the max. I tried the link but it didnt work.

would like it to look like this:
http://snow.prohosting.com/nspx1/max...0/IMG_0041.jpg

 

the actual look of the lights (i.e. the shape) are ugly on those korean Maxs, even the design of the rear i dont like. Looks to bubly, i like the edgier U.S. version better. Anyways, it would probably be expensive to get crystal-clear lens like that for the 4th gen...




Eric

 

dude just do the convertion, it'll probably cost about the same to do the conversion on it and get red/clear for 97-99 from sprintmax or something...only perfect match are david lau's which is impossible to find

 

If you still want to red them out. These are the links to how to's.

The FAQ, its at the top of the page i linked to
http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....5&pagenumber=6

This is on an RSX, but its the same process
http://www.4sided.com/rsx/

 

we'll see how much they will cost, i meet with my contact next week, and even if he won't be able to make them i have 2 other companies willing to make them for me, yes the sm tails are more rounded but i will be taking that concept of the diamond clear and hopefully it will work out for all the 4th gens 95-96 and the 97-99 tails.
Ryan

 

definately keep us updated (duh!), but i do have a question. Is it gonna be the WHOLE tailight, or just the outers?! Because if you go for the diamond on the outers, i think the innners will look cloudy in comparison...just a thought...



Eric

 

it is gonna be the whole tail light so it will match.
Ryan

 

As you may have seen we are already advertising our upcoming 95/96 red/clear taillights. the mold was complete a while ago and we approved the samples. Its only a matter of time. Check out our ad in SuperStreet, and Import Tuner for more pics.

 

 

They were supposed to be done like 6 months ago.

 

No actually they were supposed to be done 2 years ago.

 

forget them and buy mine

 

Barring David L once again producing his one of a kind red/clears, waiting on CM is the best bet. Vinyl tape, Testors Candy Apple red paint and the Nipon all clears just don't cut it. The all clears are starting to cost what the David Ls did - and then YOU have to TRY and paint them. CMs 97-99 red clears are the best match on the market. The 95/96s will be the same quality. I know, I was blown away six months ago when they were taken off the web site and failed to go on sale. I don't mind the wait though and I'll bank the money to buy them (once). Someone had painted (pink?) all clears in the classifieds because he coughed up the bucks and found a set of David Ls to buy. There will be a lot of Ebay deals on painted all clears once the CMs go on sale. Good things come to those that wait... Be Safe, Mark V.

 

I didn't see the CM ad in the june issue of import tuner, was it the may issue? I'm anticipating the CM red clears, I cant wait!

does anybody have close-up pics of the reded out ambers style lights, thinking of doing it cause its better than nothing.
