IMO stockies are way ugly on these cars. They don't fit the design of the rest of the car at all. They make the car look like a granny mobile.

think what u want, but these tail lights take away from the beauty of the car. I would rather have the P5 taillight design than the sedan design. They are way too huge and bubbly for these cars. looking at the back of the car feels like u are looking at a huge fly.

your right, thats why I was saying to each his own, I just see the lights as matching the body's lines pretty well. and here is a nice pic of my buddy's P5 with the JDM sedan style lights.

See, I think those tailights match the wagon pretty well, I would almost prefer to have those on the sedan.

they are the same as whats on the sedan, just slightly elongated, there isnt enough room on the sedan for those lights. if you look at the curves of the sedan lights they match up to the creases in the body, side and rear. thats a real clean look

ya, Im not saying they should have put those tails on the sedan. I just like the looks of the rear better than the sedan. I agree that they line up good, I just think they would look better if they were a little more streamline instead of so bubbly you know.

Im working on some custom tails for my car that Im making out of a pair of carbon fiber ones I had on it. If I can get it too work out it should look pretty good. If I can get them to work I will post some pics so u can see what I have in mind.

If you want it darker and save some money for performance, just use Night Shades tint on the stockies. Its like $8 and a little masking work to do.

HA HA! I like the stockies...the altezzas look gay! That's why I said I was going to get the JDM tails. Of course, i'm a cheap bastard & decided to paint my tails black instead. No night shades. Just gloss black and clear. The tails have a really dark red glow to them...they look good, but now they have to go. I will get my tails in the next few months or so.

Anyway...I'd put 'em up on ebay for free and charge only the shipping.
To each his/her own...but....I've never and will never put altezzas on my car.
