Default tail lights??????????

I was wandering from anyone here. Have any of you seen white or clear taillights for the 350z? And do they produce them yet? I think that it would look cool. I just installed the clear marker lights for the front and makes it look even better.

sounds like altezzas to me, but I believe youve mistaken the Z for a 15000$ civic which people try to give the appearance of speed.

I HIGHLY doubt they will be made due to the very unnussual shape of the tail light. it just wouldnt work well at all.

now some LED action identical to the concept car... that I could go for, but that would not be anywhere near altezzas.

At night, I'd like to see the whole taillight dimly lit all the time, and have the rear facing portion brighten up when you hit the brakes.

And still leave the taillight the red color it is today. Contrasts well with my Daytona Blue!

They probably will make altezzas for the 350z. So many people buy them. I know i would never put them on any car I owned. These were somewhat cool years ago but when they became mainstream , they became played out very quickly. And yes altezza's = RICE!

I was just thinking actually that the tailights that the altima 3.5 had cool taillights and it would go well with the front headlights. You know chrome with the light separation(I feel like i'm not explaining myself). Oh well, we'll see what aftermarket makers come up with. Hopefully it will be good.

If they could make them similiar to the 02/03 Maximas they would be ok since they arent goudy looking like on some cars. Those on the Maxima are much more pleasing to the eye than those aftermarkets on Civics etc.!

maximas and altimas are altezzas, just a different style. and that is how they come from the factory, so what can you do.

replacing regular tail lights with altezzas is just the same as replacing civic lights. if thats what you like, that is fine, your car, your choice, you dont need our permission. but dont justify it because other nissans have something similiar, and because some people want white reflectors.

Yeah..

And Clear Tail Lights = Rice.

I like to harass the RiceBoys with my "My LugNuts Require More Torque than Your Honda Makes!" Shirt, from http://www.carshirts.tk

Agreed. I wish the entire lens would light up w/ the lights turned on...and yes, leave it red.
