Altezza's.....

[DeathFromAbove]

i was thinking of getting some red clears...but i think the white strip would clash with the white body...so i plan on smoking the white with nightshades...that'll be hot.

i'd like it if it were real, fake carbon has no purpose. carbon's only purpose is to be light and rigid when needed...not because it has a cool look. i love the look, but anything i'd get would have to be real. cause only real carbon has the depth to it under light. fake always looks fake. do they i don't see carbon motif tour de france bikes. carbon housing tails would be pretty useless, but it would at least be real. since the only reason people get carbon motif is for the look anyway.

Im sorry, but your arguement kinda sucks. it DOES look pretty cool, and alot of people buy hoods, trunks, shift knobs, spark plug covers, fenders, body kits, etc. because of that. Honestly, for the average car user, what is 10-15 pounds off the weight of your hood going to do? what is a Carbon Fiber shift knob going to do? Im not saying it looks 100 percent authentic, but if all youre going for is the look . . . then why spend the tons of money on the real thing?

plus if your not going for the cool look, why spend 50-80 bucks a sqaured yard as oppose to 10 you spend with fiberglass(about same wieght) to make stuff like this?

really and truly, it's about what you like. If you want to put alteezas on your car, go ahead. Nobody on the forum bought your car for you so who are we to tell you what to put on your car. We all have different taste and even though it may be a fad, so is a lot of other stuff. I'm pretty sure when you first seen the alteezas, you were like I never knew they made them for our cars. Kinda like carbon fiber hoods and soon to be carbon fiber trunks. When something is so overly produced, the originality of the idea suffers but that doesn't make or break the product. It's just that something you thought you had first and paid so much for is now being sold for a fraction of the cost and the next door neighbor has is too. That's why i'm kinda against the whole mass production of the carbon fiber trunk lid. Watch, soon it's going to end up on ebay and it's originality is going to be questioned because everybody will have access to it. The group buy last year was the best example because only a number of people have it and that makes others want it more. It's original.................

i'd spend all the money on the look because only real carbon has that look. do it right or don't do it at all. all that other garbage is just a gray and black checkerboard with swirls around the curves. i love the look of carbon, but like i said the look comes from how it's made, they didn't make carbon to look good, they made it for function and some people also like how it looks. my carbon hood is mainly for looks, and the weight reduction is merely a bonus.
same goes for dash kits...i mean why would they make real carbon dash kits, even though minor, it still adds weight, but it just looks a million times better than ugly carbon print dash kits. fake carbon is cheesy.

Then don't put them on your car.

eh, i'm perfectly content with my stock tail lights.

maybe that might have something to do with me not being able to buy aftermarket ones. lol

the red/clears are cool, but those seem to be getting played out now. still, at least they look good. not hidious like the altezzas.

Altezzas went out of style right after Nike.

Although if you drive on Buford Hwy, sometimes you can see a mix of both, altezzas and a giant Nike symbol on the rear windshield...

Here's mine (pre EDM plate garnish, that is) and I've had the set on since 2002. I love 'em.:

[DeathFromAbove]

yeah i find they look good on 93-93's sedans and coupes, but i've seen em on a 90-91, and i unno, they didn't do it for me as much. i'd put em on first to see, and then smoke em if i no likee.

yours do like nice indeed. is that an accord coupe emblem? so you did a sedan swap then?

[JaK FRoSTWhiTE]

...is that an accord coupe emblem? so you did a sedan swap then?

Nope, its a 10th Anniversary badge...

[DeathFromAbove]

HAHAHA. Dude that brings back memories. I used to work at teh Pep Boys on Piedmont close to Buford, i'm sure you know where that is. I drove parts around a lot and most shops were up Buford Hwy. I swear if i drove for 3 miles I would encounter at LEAST: 3 corollas with Nike signs, 5 civics with it, and about a dozen older mini-trucks with it too. All like 4 foot wide stickers too. And of course the perfect complement to it are 12" gold 100 spokes sticking out a foot from the fender. ahh the good old days. sorry for the hijack.

I am not going to say the generic, its your ride, do what you want. I hate altezza lights. They look tacky! Who ever made the point of how they mess up the flow of the car is right! Not also is the CB7 boxy, so are the tail lights, there are no real curves to them. Altezza lights just look rediculous, red/clears look nice unlike tezza's. I wish people would stop buying them and then they would dissappear forever!
