What do you guys think about Altezzas. ive seen so many diffrent types of people puttin altezzas on the eclipses, any genereations either, but like some people have just the 2 outside ones, or just the inside one. what do you guys think about altezzas???
1. YAY :thumb:
2. Nay :rolleyes:
 
I don't hate them like a lot of people do. In fact,I have them on my car. I think it depends on the car if they look good or not. I think DSMs look great with them. But trucks don't. Civics look pretty good with them,so does Celicas,Probes,Cavaliers,& so on. Just my opinion,though. :cool:
 
Personally, I like altezzas but not the chrome ones, everyone has them and I don't like the center pieces. A buddy of mine gave me some chrome ones without a center piece. I took them apart, painted the chrome a black gloss (to match the car) and painted my rear center piece a black gloss and it looks good and at least somewhat more "original" then the standard altezzas.

I hated them since none of them really coordinated with my red car. they look better on lighter cars. But i'll consider getting the new ones, the Eurotec altezzas cuz they will look good on my car, they look more classy than the older altezzas.
 
I had altezzas on my car last year...but did a Supra taillight conversion a few months ago... I like them a LOT better!!

hehe

siueclipse--- i like the look of your altezzas, can you tell me how to take them apart like yours, i was trying to do that also, but can't figure out a way to take them apart without breaking them and never be able to put them back together.

Man siueclipse you put a whole new look to the altezzas that looks pretty sweet dude seriously, good job, id like tho see your middle peice too :thumb:
 
That does look good. I would personally do that or get the CF altezza's....If I ever actually bought them.

I like them as long as the center is painted to get rid of the Las Vegas light show look.

I went down to the local import shop and had them cover my center peice with reflective black vinyl over the top of it, they did a good job i like it....

JOHN-- Do they make altezzas for your car???
