Redding Out Tail Lights w/ Sentra Twist
I know post about this have been posted before, but I figured I through an idea about these..
If you RED your tails the problem you're going to have is you loose your reverse light, thereby making them "illegal" but what if you can add a Sentra back?!?!?
OK, problem with my idea is that you'll require more body work, cut ur trunk to fit the license plate holder w/ reverse light & mold your rear bumper to eliminate stock license plate holder, but I don't think it'll look too bad...here are 2 options I quickly photochopped...what do you guys think:


Maybe Even IS300 Style

PS
Don't remember who's car this is but I hope you don't mind me messing with it

Yea but to a certain extent...those mods you listed are all under like $300. This would cost god knows how much. I'm not trying to diss the subject...but I know I wouldnt do it.
The only thing close Ive seen to this is Jeffs max from MaxTuning - http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...80_58_full.jpg
Even then, still way too much work. Molding the bumper, cutting the trunk, etc. If you happen to work at a body shop or know the skills yourself (not YOU but anyone) - go for it.

its a good idea, I agree with soufly, you would be different but it (to me) seems as though the gratification of having something different doesnt seem like its worth the price of that mod.
I like the pic above, but I dont cause I immediately thought civic, prob cause of the blue and clears, but its looks clean, for the cost of all that body work, you could have probably gotten a kit, or stillen lip plus front bumper (if your 95-96).
good photoshopin thought.

i like this one the most:

the 2nd looks like an accord, the 3rd looks cool but i think the first one would have been the best alternative for the 4th gen stock rear end imo. it looks more like it would belong on a foreign model instead of U.S. styling, maybe that's why i like it...because it's different but clean. good job on those!
it's been discussed before adding those reverse lights like that, but only on the bumper in the stock location for the plate. feel like photo shopping it that way if you get time?

the first photoshop i like. the 2nd is ok, i suppose and the third is just ugly. if i was into having a show car i might would be interested in that but i'd rather have the CF trunk lid which i should be ordering sometime near the end of January.
The first one is the best one in my opinion. It gives it the Lexus LS look but why do it? Too much trouble, too much money, too much work and too much risk. If you end up doing this project I wish you a lot of luck.

Sorry guys...I mean it's a nice job and all, but it looks like a blue avalon with a rear bumper lip and a spoiler...I feel bad even comparing a max to an avalon. The red clears, lip, and spoiler look good, especially with the blue, but IMO, the license plate was put where it should be from the factory...
