So the fogging Altezza finally got to me. When I took it out the driver's side had about an inch or two of water in it. I baked it to take the lens apart but while separating it I cracked the clear lens. So here ya go, a little before and after so the Altezza haters and the Altezza likers can see both in about the same shot. I also have the center painted now. I still think it is too much RED. So let's have a poll, flame on...

honestly i dont like either pic but thats just me. i dont like the painted center in red, cause its just too much red. and i dont like the chrome tezzs so i dunno. nice bumper though

Guess I should have made a neither option.

Well, I'm not usually one who gives props to someone with altezza's, but I think it looks a lot cleaner than the stocke talis, atleast with that bumper. The bottom picture just seems as if the red is overwhelming.

go with the altezza's
they look better imo with that bumper
also your exhaust needs to fill that cut-out alittle more

So on a website that typically villifies altezzas I am told they look better than the painted center and stock tails? Anyone have the same style altezzas in the top picture that would like to sell me the drivers side for cheap?

I personally liked the altezzas with my red car, but I can't see spending 200 bucks replacing them when that money can buy me a custom exhaust.

i know it isnt an option on yrou poll but i think the black/carbonfiber altezzas would look nice as well, but stick with the chrome. To much red with the stockers in.

i really like the stock/red option. If you think it's too much red, consider either the carbon fiber center piece, or just a stock centerpiece with the letters removed...

Also not an option but you could ask in the P/S forum, try some smoked tails. I'm trying to find a pair for sale. My GST is the darker red and they match the tint on my car nicely. Just an option but see what everyone else thinks.

Def. the bottom.. looks much cleaner

i also like the bottom much more. keep it.

keep the painted center and then put the altezzas in. you cars kit and "style" will go well with the altezzas i dont usually like them but i like your car so yeah just now throw the altezzas in

Here is a somewhat poor photoshop of my painted center and Altezzas.
