P5 altezza tail lights
 
Who has them and do you have any problems with condensation?

Specifically for the P5.

I have a pair of the CF-look tails. I have not had any sealing issues with them. They made it through a Detroit winter, and several trips through the DIY carwash with the high-powered pressure wand. My only complaint is larger gaps between the body panels and the lamps, compared with stock. But, overall I would recommend them. They look great. For $86 on e-Bay (brand new), it's a good deal. My Dodge Neon's Altezzas cost twice that!

I only want to do a few things to my MP5: Wheels(black w/ silver lip), clear tails, yellow fogs, tinted windows. That's all I want to do, but the wife won't let me. But now that I have a side job I'd say that I can do what I want with that money.

My major concern with the tails is whether or not they will leak. I don't think they gaurantee that do they?

I found a website that has them for $140, that's the cheapest that I've seen.

Rio Grande,
Do a search on e-Bay. Just type in "Protege Altezzas" and see what comes up. Usually, the "buy it now" price is less than ninety bucks, with $15 or so for shipping. But, you might do even better than that. Why pay $140, when you can get the SAME EXACT THING for a lot less?

From what I have seen, all the P5 Altezzas on the market appear to have the same design (appearance). The only differences that I have seen are the color of the lamp surround - CF, black, or chrome. I am willing to bet that they ALL came from the same source in Taiwan, and importers just slap a different name on them when they make it to the US.

No hits on ebay. Matrixracing.com has what I want, the black ones. Everywhere I go it's $200 or more.

The list of things that I want would only cost me about $1500. That's about $3k less than what I've done to the Jeep!


If you can't tell I'm still trying to justify modding the P5 :)

Please check out the four above hits. Man, these things are all over e-Bay. Just type in "Protege 5" and see what comes up. Leave the space in between the "Protege" and the "5".
