Re: altezza taillight (maximedx)
They do not make them yet. Speed options tends to think they will but I contacted APC and OBX and they say not in the near future which basically means no. I have seen the prelude taillight swap on the 4th gen that had altezzas. Looked pretty sweet. Talked to the guy and the conversion cost him quite a bit. 1500-2500 in body work. Ouch... Oh well....

Re: altezza taillight (91ED7Si)
If stock is the way its meant to be why add anything to the car at all. Why add engine enhancement either? If stock is best why is there aftermarket products availible Hmmm... I wonder.....

Re: altezza taillight (JohnnyM)
i was talking about tail lights doofus.
not legitimate modifications.
legitimate modifications means its an enhancement like a motor swap or better tires are an enhancement because its more power or better handling ect.
altezzas are just a exchange since they do absolutely jackshit besides get you laughed at.

Re: altezza taillight (JohnnyM)
If they at least made some that looked better!
Clears can look good on a light colored car(silver....mostly, sometimes white, maybe a light blue.....etc.), but tend to look like *** on a darker car( black, navy blue, red....etc., they just stand out too much ).
Same can be said for black out kits, but generally darker colored cars look better with darkened taillights, and lighter tones look awful!
As far as altezza's, I'm not a huge fan( personal preference, plus I would hate to buy an IS300 and hear someone say I had bought the Lexus with the Civic tail lights
).
Also every euroclear I have seen for CRX's and hatch's, just look like ***( cheaply made, and poorly fitting.....maybe OBX or APC will come out with a nicer pair, but I still won't buy any. )

Re: altezza taillight (big pete)
I have altezza's and I like how they look on my car. I would much rather have the SiR taillights but I have to stick with what I have. I actually wanted the clears but the company sent me the wrong style so im stuck with altezza's....they are ok though...at least on my red car...

Re: altezza taillight (SiREXRUN)
altezzas are gay they look like poop especialy on the crx clears are meant for the front of the car after market is good but the clear taillights look like poop on any car jdm is a way better option i have cleared front corners and they look good with my projecters which are awsome and serve a purpose as well they are waaaaaaaaaayyy brighter than stock but clear taillights are ghetto on any color car to

Re: altezza taillight (jdmB18hatch)
Its all in the persons taste and I don't think that anyone has the right to knock anyone's ar. They put their heart and soul into it just like you. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean that the next person can't. Were here to support our fellow importers....not knock them for what they do to their cars!

Re: altezza taillight (jdmB18hatch)
OK, it's all good til you knock my ladies ride...she has been jocking the SiR taillights since the Altezzas were new, about 2 years (when she bought the car)...way before most of these "JDM OG's" started crawling out of the woodwork (or should I say jumping on the bandwagon)...unfortunately, at the time, the SiR taillight convo was about $700-$1000 if you could even find them. So she bought the clears for now (that was about a year ago) and the dumbasses she bought them from gave her the Altezzas by mistake. I admit that sometimes I wish I had the $$$ to get her the full JDM makeover but I have a car of my own and too many bills. On her car, the Altezzas look pretty good, the red lenses match the Rio Red paint pretty nicely, but I do have to agree with the rest of you that they are getting a little played (ok, really played) and on quite a few cars (newer Accord 4-drs come to mind) they look absolutely ridiculous esp when no other real mods are present...as a matter of fact, I was looking at a newer Options Auto Salon ad that had body colored taillight covers for IS300's!
