Form your own opinion. I used to love the altezzas on my car until I got tired of them. There's a lot of people who hate them. Just see if it looks nice, if you like them buy a pair.

The David L's aka Red Clears for 95-96 are rare, your best bet is to check ebay every day :-x, or wait for a org member to sell theres.. Or, do it custom and buy an all clears for the outside and u got yourself a different lookn max than others.

THIS IS FOR EVERYONE WHO HAS OR WANTS ALTEZZAS...

People need to realize that you should never crossbreed parts for a car. Toyota, is the creator of a car called the Altezza, better known in the states as the Lexus IS300. So why would you want to put lights from a TOYOTA or LEXUS on your NISSAN? Would you put a ford emblem on the front of your Max?....or even better a honda one? No, so why put a symbol of Toyota on your Nissan. Makes no sense.

Haha good stuff. I have only seen one person who's car looked good with altezzas, so one out of... hundreds. Eh I don't like altezzas very much. I also have a '95 max and what I really want is to get clear/red taillights.

Just leave it point blank and simple, if you like the altezzas, Get em. You like Red/clears better? then just wait for perfect opportunity.. It all matter's what you think, because your the one putting in the money, effort and time for it.

this is why we call this a forum...everyone gives their input..personally i dont like altezzas, unless they are painted (BODY COLOR) like skyline lights...and red clears are cool too...and red clears are damn near impossible to find..good luck all maxima 95-96 owners!

FYI A-hole I have a honda. and my point was the number of ricey hondas w/ altezzas are an ever-growing annoyance and that i would rather have stock or clears on my max to set myself apart from all that. geez whats your problem - got a stick up your ***? your avatar definitely speaks well of you.

listen i dont care if u ride around on a fighter jet, ur still a moron. still stupid. and u talk way to damn much.

altezzas dont make a honda ricey, all the other crap u put on ur honda makes it ricey.

i have a big problem with people like u on this forum, instead of giving a opinon based on ur feelings u open ur trap and talk like u pay for the stuff that goes on his car. go die in a fire or something

95 and 96 have more limited options. I do like the painted "skyline" mod done to the carbon fiber altezzas. I think there is a link in the how to's but you basically don't have round lenses and your body color. Not too bad. I just don't think it is worth it spending hundreds on tail lights.

Wish red clears didn't command such a hefty price tag.

lol - you guys go ahead and team up (the noob teenager and, well whoever you are that hates my guts for expressing my opinion) this isnt a forum - its a tyranny of those who deem themselves better than everyone else by how many demeaning words they can throw at someone. Have I lost you young men of extreme intelect yet? ah well - you have a great day. im sorry we disagree, however i will still be man enough to maintain my diginity and respect you for your opinion even if you dont mine.

This thread is too heated. We are all here for the VQ powered Nissan Maxima right? Celebrate the org for what it's supposed to be with respect. Or just turn the hate on somethin that deserves it, Honda owners Please lock this thread...
