Krylon Red Stained Glass Spraypaint=
$6 a can, tho

Better than paying a couple hundred tho, I guess. The turn signals look darker, but at night, you really can't tell. I put 3 layers on mine, so they're actually darker than 98-01 tails.

Hell no, that doesn't look good at all. Just buy some '98-'01 lights.

I would not say you're necessarily a ricer.
I've seen the CF altezza's look alright on black cars...

the things is... $200 could get you an AEM intake, or a Comptech Icebox.

I just can't justify buying cosmetic mods that cost as much as performance mods.
I do like the red altezza's though, so put me in the ricer camp too I guess.

Hehe, yeah...I'm cheap, I know, but I like how they look. If anything, buy some cheapo all clear tails, tape off the reverse signal, and paint em.
