    Altezzas, Rice or Nice?

    Lol I'm just curious, if anyone still has altezza tail lights on their car and rocks them proudly. Altezzas used to be nice (?) Back in the Fast and Furious days, but can anyone make a really nice car with distasteful tail lights?

              I think they look ugly but if you want to put them on your car, by all means because i'm not the one driving it.

                They are bit ugly/ricey but when tented and black housed there not too bad. Its just that theres too much chrome for me in stock form.

                    I didn't even like them on the Altezza. Chrome anything looks tacky.

                      I did that with mine, loved them until I traded for a 93 sedan trunk.

                        with the shape of the accord tail lights, altezzas look disgustingly ugly.

                        unless you have the rare crystal red euros for the 92/93 sedan. those are much better to look at. which i had on my car. which i still have in my garage. which i need to sell... lol!

                          I owned 3 sets of these back in the day. Gen 1 and 2 versions of the Gen 2. Chrome and Black carbon look.

                          IMO I think the best looking ones were the Generation 2 lamps. The Generation 1s looked the same except it had dual smaller reflectors in the outer lamps which made them looked funny. The Generation 2s fixed this and had two matching sized circle reflectors for the brake lamps and one outer dummy lamp. You could physically take them apart and mod them to fit OEM tailamps as well.



                          The other versions Gen 3 and up looked very horrible! They made the car look like a UFO or like the rear end had ACNE or something. The Generation 1s and 2s were the perfect ones to do "Red and clear" mods or if you had a chance to buy the "Blood red" versions or carbon look they looked alot better.

                          Go with what you feel matches your car and don't worry what other people think. Everyone seems to join the bandwagon and do what others do to "fit in"

                              Those are actually tasteful I would rock those on my Blue CB with the red slightly tinted and retrofitted with LED's
