Hey folks,
I can't seem to find the "Search" function on the forum, so I'm forced to make a thread. My cousin just picked up a nice '01 SE, and I'm trying to find smoked, fluted side markers to match the tail light trim. Here is the style I am looking for...



I know all about Jon'sTintedTails.com and about NightShades etc, but I'm not looking for DIY since I have had problems with peeling clear coat in the past. Anybody know if these exist?
Thanks,
PJ

 

custom-maxima.com (i think thats it) has the closest thing (i have them on my 02) the quality leave a bit to be desired as far as the sealent they use has air pockets.

 

CustomMaxima only offers smoked for the front markers though.

 

the answer:

aside from CM, no. Nobody makes them.

I'm not sure what problems you 've had with clearcoat in the past, but my and soonerfan's smoked (DIY) sidemarkers (using dupli-color paints) have been through 2 winters (salt, etc) and do not have a scratch or peel anywhere. If you prep the surface correctly using wet-dry sandpaper you will have good paint and clearcoat adhesion.

 

Thank you all for the replies. I check CustomMaxima.com and I cannot find smoked lenses under 2001 Maxima. I checked both "Lighting" and "Exterior."

As for DIY/having them done, two pairs of tails I have seen began peeling after a few months. It may very well have been poor prep work, but I would much rather have lenses with pre-smoked plastic.

My next question; do you think there would be enough interest to make a bunch of sets? I have the means to have pretty much anything plastic manufactured, so I can probably get them done.
