Need opinions on making my back end hotter!

Guys I need help here. I have a '95 with stock tail lights. Ideally I would like to have the clear/red tails, but I can't find them anywhere! Anyone know how I can get them? Any suggestions? So my next option would be altezza's, but I think the chrome are butt ugly. I've heard that there are some "black chrome" ones out, but I have yet to have seen them on a max. Anyone have a pic? I'm maybe thinking it wouldnt look that bad sense I have a black max. My last opinion is to get some tinted covers like dave b. has on his car? Does anyone know where to get those?? Thanks.

Altezzas are always an option, and you could also get a spoiler, and shave off the rear emblems. It worked for me and my black max.

He only does that for 97-99 as far as I know...

Wow, in before the robot.

If you have a dark-colored car, go with the spray tint like Dave B, I think it looks great.

i think u can use 97-99 tailights on a 95 if i am not mistaking......the 97+ tails are capable of being "stripped down" into clears

Well does anyone have pics of the black chrome altezza's? If I can't find clear/red tails, I will either have to get black chrome altezza's or tint my back tails like dave did. You got pics dave?

Shouldn't you just buy a can of paint and a set of clear tails and paint the bottom half like everyone else with clear/reds on a 95-96? It's a little risky because not everyone is a paint pro, but so is opening the entire light and replacing the orange reflector.

Do a search for 95-96 tail lights and the paint you use .. They look *awesome* imo cause they're a lot rarer than the 97-99's.

(note: I thought I saw something a while back about clears not being sold anymore but I didn't believe it )

Monster.Inc is right..... It looks cool to have slightly tinted tail lights.

I would have to say that you should get some Ultra bright Red 1157 bulbs and Ultra white bulbs for the brakes and back up. Don't forget to put on the ultra bright signal too.

yes, you are mistaken, the 95-tails are different and arent interchangeable without a complete trunk swap
