CustomMaxima's 97-99 Red/Clear Tails are installed
Didn't take long and cleaned up the look of my Concord Mist by getting rid of that amber crap from Nissan. The tails included everything necessary to do the install.
Now I really got to get some wheels and install the rest of my mods.

Concord Mist = Purplish Color. In fact, Deezo's favorite color is purple with pink dots.
The Mist? I guess adds sort of a "metallic" edge to the paint.

I just received my red/clear tails the other day and installed them, and I think they look great, except for one thing - I am a bit of a perfectionist and I don't think that the red part of the outers matches the inners, only when lights are on. It looks to me that the outers are just a little dimmer than the inners. Any one else with the new and improved red/clears notice this? I took some pics, but I don't think the camera conveys too well what I think, you can see the difference more in person...

Dayle: Your car looks very sharp. The light difference is not noticeable, and WON'T be to the average eye. It matches 99% so don't even worry about it. Only upon very close inspection do you see that it's MINUTELY off, and even then who cares? from 5 feet away it looks perfect. Quit worryin'

Did any of u guys have a slight fitment issue. On mine there is a slight gap around the taillights and the car. Like the rubber piece that goes around the tail isn't big enough to make contact with the car. Anybody have this issue as well who bought these red/clear tails?

looks good 
Once you get it fixed can you post how you went about doing it? Materials and method... I want to fix the gap on mine as well.

Yeah and I'm going to try and fix it when I get a chance. I'll probably cut off what's there and replace it with som insulation with a better fit.
