Just smoke your existing tails if you want that black out look. Or I have heard you can tint them also, but im not sure how well that works.

This would look much cleaner, and better than altezzas.

I'd go with OEM 98+ lamps myself.

you can't use tint on the tails......i tried it and its too hard cuz the surface isn't flat enough.........if you use the smoke spray, you can get a ticket cuz you wont be red...i think the black chrome altezzas would look phat as hell on a black gsr.....not ricey(the silver chrome would be)

I agree with GTEater - if (and only if) your car is black...

I used to have those on my black car but I decided that the quality wasn't good enough and went back to my 98+ tails. If you want the extra attention (which i didn't) and don't mind the cheaper look then get em'.

Note - They also make your car look fatter... I don't know why... sorry no pics from b4. I would say buy mine but I just sold them to a friend who also has a black car.

Are those the "carbon fiber" altezzas? If so, I seem to like them better than the all "chrome" ones. If I had an IS300, I would swap it out.

Yes, go for it. I've not seen them on a car in my area yet.

They definitely look better than the chrome ones, but I'd probably stick with the stock ones.
