I wanna have an idea of what the head lights and tail lights would look like if I painted the outer shell to match the car. Here are the pic, I would really appreciate it.

-For these two, I want the top part to the bottom of the black tape colored. The black tape is running across the chrome trim separating the turn and parking light from the headlight and high beam.



-I know you guys are gonna say what are you gonna do about a turn signal for the front headlights? Well, after seeing Dangeris' R8 Style LEDs thoughts started to pop in my head....Get rid of the amber the easy way and paint over it with the matching body color and use the LEDs for the Turn Signal.



-For this one, I want to see the top part and the side painted. I've been getting compliments about the car....people telling me, "That's a nice car, what is that? a Maserati? I remember seeing a pic of the rear end of a Maserati in the spoilers post and said why not do that if I'm getting complimented on a nice looking Maserati.

MASER-WHATI?

Your car is nice, no doubt, but Maserati?

Was it a Grandmother or bus driver that said that? lol

I could never see that . . . I'm sorry

Actually...I was from serveral people ranging in age from 20ish to about 50ish. I can see what they mean because of the body line along the top of the trunk....see for urself. It's not identical but very simular

Maserati......

Altima Coupe.....

Aside from the raise in the center of the trunk-line, I really don't see it. But, it's probably just me. I looked at things it too detailed of a manner.

And maybe also b/c my jerk off step dad has a Maserati and I'm just used to seeing one often.

Well, maybe it is because u see one often due to your step dad but that doesn't change the fact that not once....not twice....but several times I got the....the rear looks like a maserati from customers at my work. If I was making this up....I would have compared the car to a Porsche and not to a maserati. Wether it does or doesn't look like one, I have wanting to do that with the rear tail for a while now but since I saw the R8 style LEDs, I figured I would do the headlights as well. But I wanna see what it looks like before I actually do it.

Well, I'm no mehdi by any means, but here is an idea of it for you. Not exactly sure how you wanted the headlights though.

I should have known that pic was an Aston Martin and not a Maserati just from the emblem on the trunk. Anyways, I really don't wanna continue about what the hell the car looks like what car, I love A/C for it's own unique look and that's that.

Now Racingtiger and Coupedekai, thanks for those images you guys did. That's pretty much what I wanted to see before I actually painted the light. In my Opinion, I like this alot and think I would look hot in real life, especially the head light done like that and have the turn signals replaced with the LEDs like Dangeris did to his A/C.
