should i go back to stock tail light?

[CL MaNTis GST]

Ok i dont know whether to go back to stock tail lights or keep the altezza's on.

I normally dont like altezza.. but for some reason i do like the way they look on a red car, such as mine. There is a guy in my town who wants altezza's but has stock... and i dont know whether i want to trade with him or not.

What do u all think?

mine:

stock: (thanks for the pic owner of car)

yes, you car is red, your altezzas are chrome/white looking. doesn't really fit in.

well I like to match, i'm looking into the crystal red altezzas, its different and still matches my car.

i would go back to the stock tails for a red car.chrome altezzas look alright on white/slilver cars and carbon fiber altezzas look good on black and other dark colored cars imo

I kinda like the altezza's on your car since the center section is painted.

 

[Rocket Boy]

I'm trying to decide the same thing; my car should be out of the body shop this weak and they're painting the center tail piece with the rest of the car. I think the altezas on the car already look sweet but I think stock would look better. My biggest concern is that theirs a relay in the directional, when I turn on the right or left directional the two inside lights alternate between blinks, works with the altezas but how will stock lights effect the alternating blinkers? Anyway pix of the altezas are in my photo gallery. Thanks, any input would be nice.

i used to have carbon fiber altezzas with the middle piece painted, looked good actually. but this is how it looks now. i think u should do it like mine

 

[Slappster]

Defiently change back to stock tails. Much cleaner.

dude...I like the altezza's. the only thing that matters is what YOU like. Well...that and HOT CHICKS!!!

dbr

 

[NskGenakuDuckie]

I really....really.....REALLY don't know what people are thinking when they put altezza lights on their cars...

Do you seriously think it looks good??? IMO they don't look good on any color....or any car for that matter. I personally wouldn't put them on my car even if you paid me....

 

[dont need 8]

The whole tailight question is really becoming a joke. Some like them, some don't, some say paint the center and just use the outside ones.

I wonder when the question will finally cease to be posted.

Instead of reading the same argument over and over just do what you think looks best. I personally don't see a reason to paint the "red" centerpiece of a "red" car, and I like the contrast that the chrome offers.

I have altezza tail lights, chrome dual projectors, and clear side markers and I do like how it looks.

Here are a few threads if you need more input on stock vs altezza:

go back to stock.. them altezzas with a red car make it stick out like a sore thumb.. i personally would go back to stock tails.. either remove the eclipse badge or paint center piece.. nice n clean

i think u should stay with altezzas but go with a pair similar to mine. i dont really care for the ones u have now. the ones with the 2 lights.i love mine. check em out.(yes i know i still need to paint that center piece im on it. )

p. s. no offense but ditch the wing. get somethin a lil more cleaner lookin.

 

[Dieselboy]

PsSsShTGSX, please dont take offense, but your car would look X-Treeeemely cherry and flawless without those god foresaken things IMO. Besides the 'Tezzies, Nice car

 

[PsSsShTGSX]

my bad dude i just checked ur gallery. ur wing was busted by some a$$hole. my fault. get the same one u had. it was hot. later

none taken. its only an opinion. i happen to like them and i own the car thats all that matters. the car came with em. if i were to have bought alteazzas i prob would have picked those. i still have the stocks so we'll see. thanks for ur the compliment though. much more work to be done. sorry for whorein the post. may the alteazza discousion proceed!

 

[Dieselboy]

No prob man, its cherry regardless.

BTW: If your interested in relieving yourself of those stock rims anytime in the near future, lemme know, I neeeeed those rims

yes i got hated on! I was like.. damn nobody ever really flamed me for my wing before.. now all this, fuk.

Here is a pic of what it really should look like (sorry bad pic)... I'm getting it fixed real soon btw.

 

[L2RTSiAWD]

I do like the 3 bulb altezza's better.

I dont' know if you went back to stock it would be like somethings missing. Like having a Sensei front bumper with no fog lights.

 

[FourG63 97GST]

. dont hate on the Sensie front.
I have other to worry about now than $150 fog lights, well thats my excuse.
