Which kind of altezzas?

I want the get Altezza lights but I see that there are a ton of different ones out there. Some lights I see on Hondas are pretty damn cheap while others are nice. Which ones are nice? Are carbon fiber ones way better? Do the ebay ones look ugly? Are the APC's good?

Thanks for your help.

The carbon fiber ones look sweet on black cars, and other dark colored cars. However I have heard on honda boards where the carbon fiber melted off of the light, or something of that sort, its not really CF, its a CF Decal I beleive. I am not really a big fan of Altezza's and most people arent, but the CF altezzas look the best if ur gonna get a set.My friend got a set for his black CRX, but he got the ones that were clear, boy are they ugly.

Do you think "carbon fiber" looks good on silver?

The CF ones would stand out on Silver but also look good, it depends on the look you want. If you want a clean look on ur Silver protege, then the CF altezzas arent for you, they will add diversity.

Protege Menace, hehe you crack me up with that picture! Altezzas don't look bad on some cars, even though I would rather see them on the Toyota altezza, rather than all the new cars but oh well, to each their own.

NO ALTEZZA'S! if you are trying to be different stay with stock lights. i just hate to see a car in the same family as mine all riced out.

*sigh* If you think the altezzas look good, go for it. Putting altezzas on ur car doesnt make it "riced out". Putting a 3 ft wing, an unpainted bodykit and stickers on a stock car is rice. Altezza's do look good on some cars, and are disliked by the majority, but who cares? If he likes the style then let him do it, don't sit here and call him rice, your right he does have the same car, therefore he is in the same boat as you.

I got the 1 gen altezza for my white crx before, it looked very sweet!!! The altezza lights really make your car stand out.

I had the silver ones, they are shinny. Much like if you care how you dress, you like to wear shinny shoes.

Most people are sort of old-fashioned when it comes to cars, some will hate the new look of silver lights. To them, they will stick with their red lights anyway. They may even like the amber and red lights of the 80s!

Cars are fashionable, it is to each of our own taste as far as customizing is concerned.

But, I like the silver lights on the upcoming Mazda6 the most.

It is stylish!!!


For Protege, I have just bought a 2002 Metallic Green LX and am thinking of putting on a set of silver Altezzas. I have bought the Altezzas from eBay for my crx before, you have to be careful that even though you get them at cheaper prices compared to buying them from local stores, they may not be flawless.

I bought mine from eBay and paid just $75 without tax and $22.50 shipping compared to store $299 plus tax. But, there was some gaps in between and I had to use glue to fix them, but as long as they are not visible after putting on my CRx, I didn't care much.

By the way, the carbon fiber ones are not cf, they are plastic!

My 2 cents.

Werd Protege Menace, that's some funny ****. Altezza's are gay, fer shizzle my nizzle. Your other post got censored for soem odd reason, but I'm assuming it was the "These tailights are super" one. Friends don't let firends drive with altezza's.

I never did like altezzas...but, after my wife talked me into getting the CF(even though fake) for our Black Mica...I changed my mind. At least on black I think they look sharp.

Nice clip Please step away from the car. Leave your tail lights alone, they are fine just the way they are. Don't buy cheap cr*p!
