Just a question on 1g Altezzas

[talon_boy69]

I know they are on the market... I have seem black 1g with thems.. also white...but have anyone saw a red 1g with Carbon fiber altezzas???it may look good...still rice...nobody can take that out but I would like to see that

 

[echo]

i think that it would look pretty descent. don't worry about rice....it's your car, if you like it, go for it.

 

[talon_boy69]

ok thanks...I just think like you.. it would look sweet...but really... carbon fiber should match very well...since this cars have black top and black matches very good with red...any pics please post it

I have never seen Altezzas for our 1g talons? How much do they run? Do they look good? any pics of them or where u could buy them?
i think our cars would look good with them but they are considered rice to most ppl

They are only made for eclipses right now. They will fit on Talons but you cant use the center piece, they dont fit too great from what Ive seen tho. TalonBlingbling has em for his talon. you can get em from procarparts.com and a few other sites or ebay. I got mine off of ebay the otherday for $235, every where else they are like $250-300.

I have em.

They don't fit the 92-94 talons too well...

 

[HondaEATER]

So they dont fit the 90 to well? or would i have to do a back bumper switch to a eclipse? thanks

 

[TaLoNBLiNGBLiNG]

I'm pretty sure they'd fit the 90-91 talons just because the taillights are exactly the same on the early 1g talon and eclipse. the 92-94 talon taillights are in a league of they're own.

thank you for the info!

If you like them you have to get them. IMHO they update the car to the 21st century and carbon fiber looks unique and hi-tech. I would definitely get them while they still make them. They won't be out for long. To me they really reinvent your car and for me uniqueness is key to enjoying my ride. Peace.

sounds like it, aint no blingster

 

[smith92a]

What makes you think that they won't be out for too long? Rice or not, judging from the number of posts about them they are saling quite

 

[Airpoppoff]

tons of people buy them thats why there still out, im not hatin, i just wouldent buy them

I have yet to see an old Talon, Eclipse, Laser with them in my area. If they sell well they will be out for a while, but I don't think for long IMO. There are not many ways to fix up 10-13 year old cars. The older they become sometimes aftermarket manufacturers don't see a reason to make parts for these old cars.
Part of my goal in enjoying my car is for it to be unique/ the way I like. Carbon Fiber Altezza's can help do that on an old 11 year old Talon.......so that is why I like them. If I had a turbo I would be more into making it fast and do the cosmetics last if at all. Frankly I do love the fact that they make them because I didn't think that they would. I just wish I could get them for less than $250-$300 other than that I can't wait to get some.

Yes, since I just had to be one of the first with the cf tails, I paid a grip for them. Prices will go down, just like everything else in this consumer world.

im along with the first few guy's no one else is driving your car who cares what people think, unless u do somthin real dumb like put a 50ft supra wing on it or somthin :laugh: but im ordering a set of those tail lights, i molded out my center piece looks tons better

 

[84fiero4speed]

I might just be covering up part of my tail lights with vinyl on my car. Might be going with a Skyline look with the two cicles. The top 1/4 of the circles will be the turn signals and the bottom will be the brake lights. Havn't decided to go with body color or carbon fiber though. Any suggestions?

I've been eyeing ProCarParts who just recently added a "2nd gen" style carbon fiber altezza. Remember when you buy them you will be getting the middle piece too (though i prefer the Mitsu logo over the original CarbonFiber with two lights look, and the 2nd gen style middle peice is very nice actually). Also, keeping all the bulbs glowing red is what helped me make my choice, don't want the white turn signals.

I think the carbon fiber altezza's look great. I thought I'd get a lot of "rice" comments but the feedback has actually been great. I think every car show I did last year at least 1 person said they liked them. I would suggest painting the middle piece though. When I first put them on I thought they made the car look worse, but when I got my car painted and the middle piece painted and molded it definitly added to the car. I would say check my gallery but they are done right now. Price probably won't drop much, I bought mine in October of 2002 and they were around $250
