I want to hear some opinions on the skyline tail lights, I really kinda like them, but am also a big fan of plane white and red tails... I am scared my maxima might look too riced out with the skyline tails, what do you all think about them, Rice? or Legit?

 

Imo i think they are fugly but if you like them, get them.

 

Depends, certain gens of the altezzas are ugly as sin.

IMO if I had to rock an altezza it'd be the LED ones because they look the most like skyline tails (@ Night only though lol)

I'd crack those open and do some work here and there....

or these...

The above two are the least ugliest.

Again if I had it my way I'd just say stay stock... But hey your car.

 

The GenII LED altezza's are the best looking IMO, but I don't like how they pop out.

 

well im with aackshun on this one... gen II and the ebay ones are the only ones worth it. someone on here has the gen II's with the insides painted black and the reflector removed, and the outside tinted. looks pretty sick! and here is a link to my cardomain, my first max had those exact ebay tails... they look pretty solid black and i think would look hella nice on a black max! http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3854422/3

 

50/50 red clear tail

 

The Skyline rears only look good at night. In the daytime you can see the seam between the trunk lid and filler panel. It looks poorly executed and out of place.

 

Skyline is only good at night. I vote you get these

and spray paint the insides black. Itll look nicer all around.

 

those tail lights are for a 95-96 maxima.
the op has a 98

 

I was under the impression that the tails on all 4th gens are the same? Are they not?

 

I hate those tail lights they make the 4th gen rear look cheesy... Get some clears or if you can afford it get some custom LED''s

 

No, they're not the same.

First and foremost,
95/96 red is on the bottom of the tail light
97-99 red is on the top of the tail light

 

Well I knew the color combo was different, I like my 95 with the red on bottom. But I' Didnt realize the fit was different

 

The outer tails will fit but the inner ones attached to the trunk lid will not..

 

So in most ppls opinion the skylines only look good at night... so Ima just stick with my stock tails with the yellow removed. Maybe when I save up enough Ill pick up a pair of skylines and paint em black, and switch off from day and night lol. And yea 95 tails are a bit different than 97+ ones I dont think the inside lights will fit.

 

+1,000,000

 

Well, I learned something today lol.

 

looks good

 

Stock tails

 

 

they would look nice
2 give it the skyline look

 

now im thinking the actual skyline taillights not the maxima knockoffs that poke out but only look good at night..im curious to know if the actual taillights of the 99 skyline can be modded to fit the maxima...300 for both i would do that in a heart beat..have you seen the l.e.d design on em ..purely sexy

 

if you had a skyline i would say stay stock but because its a Maxima im gonna say stay stock

 

someone with an I30 on here put actual skyline taillights on it...

 

The only ones that actually look good and not ricey are the ones in the pictures provided, and baking them open and painting the inside to match the color of your car, leaving just the l.e.d. ring.




And maximaspd85, you talking about this guy?

 

The skyline look on a max looks good but gets old really quick I had them and went back to stock (minus the orange) just my .02

 

I like them, but thats just me

 

Which skyline look did you have? The ones in the pic i posted?

 

I like them too, unfortunately i have an i30, so not many tail light options. Does anyone know the guy with the white i30 with the skyline tail lights (the pic i posted). I wanna know how he did that.

 

YeahO man those exact ones, looked really great at first and great at night, but i think that phase passed and the look just got old to me

 

Yeah I know what you mean. Well for me and my i30 the stock tails are getting old for me, I've had them for 4 years when I got my car. I wish there were more tail light options for me, I dont like the cefiro tails theyre pretty much the same $h1t.

 

I believe MaximaSpd85 was talking about this i30

 

Man believe me I understand, but why not make your own like plenty of others did (including myself) and LED them to your liking, then they'll be "new" and original.

 

How to you put totally different tails on the i30? Obviously you gotta do some cutting right? I would pay big money to change my tails if its possible.

 

Or like this one, but this was done on the Maxima he used R33 headlights, But the trunk is a lil off, overall unique.

 

97-99s have a few more options than the 95-96 do in my opinion. I vote for custom LEDs which allow you to have quite a few different patterns OR red/whites or simply stay stock until you can get one of those two.

I like the way the LED skylines look at night but thats it. I cant stand that they are not flat and have that part all sticking out.

 

 

ugly imo, but to each his/her own.

 

Yeah I think skyline taillights belong on only skylines. I just realized that the Chevy Cobalts have very similar taillights too.

But I think it looks pretty nice. But a lot of modding and custom work needs to be done if you want to go all out.

 

imo...
