Those lights look sick... I've cleared out my 4th Gen Maxima tails using the Home Depot flourescent light trick.... So far they've been great and probably the best/cheapest mod on my car... No offence, but i think those are hotter than S5 lights, they look very modern and fit the car nicely... If i do end up getting my T2, this will probably be done right after the exhaust/intake/gagues.......

WOW, I didnt see that

On the left side you can see about an inch or two of the 89+ trim, it is smoother and the accent line is not cenetered

I do believe from reading the auction, that he only has the 1 pair of lights, and this won't be an ongoing thing. So those of you who like em better bid...

The red part looks good. The clear part looks like ***. I hate when people use ******* flourescent light covers for cars. Looks stupid.

The idea was great, but he fell a bit short in the execution of it.

How are those lights even vaguely like Altezza lights? Is it because of the clear lenses? Man, you've just labelled half the new cars out there as "ricers with Altezzas", including some big-dollar Euros! I bet you don't think they're ricey. Some people around here are way too hung up about this...

Those lights look very well made, much more modern looking than the stock ones and much better than some half-baked efforts I've seen.

I agree with you totally about people hear being too hung up on this. The thing I think is funny is how people are saying that's "too ricey". My definition of "rice" is putting something on your car that is useless as far as function goes. Or puting something on your car that makes it look like you have something that you don't. Like if you put a TII emblem on an N/A car. Changing tails is rice no matter if they are Altezza's or S5's on an S4.
