What type of altezza's are best?

[Redpest850]

Alright, I'm thinking about buying altezza lights. First off, my car is white as of right now....but i plan on changing the color of the car to black. My question is: Should i get chrome, black, or carbon fiber altezza lights. I really like the way the black altezza lights look, just curious if it would look any good on a black DSM tho. I know the chrome ones look great on a black vehicle...but I like the way the black ones look. Would the black altezza lights look good on a black car? THanks

the chrome ones fade to yellow and the finish looks cheap. The cf is fake cf. The black ones don't look all that bad. With black, it'd be pretty cool to just get some blackouts or something. Lots cheaper and they won't leak.

hey 9D9, thanks for that piece of info. I knew the carbon fiber ones would be fake, but some like the way cf looks. I think i'll buy the black altezza's, i found a pretty nice set for $100 on ebay.

The bright orange ones fading to a dark brown:

This is when you wish you didnt have an eclipse. For fu(ks sake theres ten different tezzies.

Black ones are cool with me, but only if they actually "go" with the rest of the car.

There are no best altezza's, they are all just as horrible as the rest.

I would have to agree

why do people have such a problem with altezzas? maybe some people dont like the stock lights( i didnt). maybe some people want to make the car they drive look the way they want it to and not the way everyone else wants. some of you people are such car nazis. anytime someone disagrees with you or likes something that you dont like you call them ricers or bad mouth their tastes. its stupid ,childish and most of all uncalled for. grow the hell up.

he asked the question in the non performance section of this site. nothing asked in this section has anything to with tuning. i dont understand why if you people hate these topics so much then why waste the time to flame someone. just notice the topic and pass it by. he didnt ask if people liked altezzas. he asked of the ones he listed which one would someone pick.

If i had to pick a set, Id say the cf TYC ones http://matrixracing.com/Browse_Item_Details.asp?HSD=1&Item_ID=3109

Because Altezzas are played out. That's just my opinion. I for one don't really like the stock lights or ALTEZZAS. I don't have either, I have Skyline R32 taillights molded in my 2g GST

thats cool man if thats what you like but if i didnt like it it wouldnt give me the right to bash you and call you names and other crap. its your car and you should be able to do what you want to it without having to worry about people on this site flaming you for your tastes.

i like those matrix ones, heres a set i installed on a gs.

Going to black you say? Mine started life as gunmetal. I must say they have a MUCH happier life now... And the best part is they still look cool at night (3 lights)

Just a thought, I get nothing but compliments now I only wish I would have done it sooner.

 

[cait sith]

I don't have a problem with the ones that are tinted red, but still have the circles in them.

What are those called?

If it's chrome, gunmetal, or carbon fiber, forget it.

 

[InfamousEclipse]

Yes DC, you are Amazing at everything you do and I give you nothinng but props. Never knew they'd looks.... so damn good

Look at that Car inn the background, he never had Altezzas to start with

 

[jimwross]

black chrome on 2g black dsm is good

Altezzas are g@y, ricers are g@y, N/T's are g@y, get the picture?
