Might Make A Change: Carbon Fiber or Chrome Altezzas?

Hey guys, don't flame, cuz I like my altezzas . I'm the only one around here who has em, so they're not played out for me yet anyways. Well I got the chrome ones a long time ago. Thought they matched pretty damn well, but then I came across Zitro's member ride, and damn, those carbon fiber ones are lookin nice as well. I have black headlight housing now, so I guess it would match. The change would be like $150, and I'm kinda low on cash as of the moment. Plus installing the first ones took like 6 hours , dunno if I can do that again.

i was going to make fun of the tail lights.... untill i saw that wing!

I guess being able to eat your lunch on your trunk can come in handy...

BTW i vote for stock tails, but if u have to be like every other under 20 civic owner, get the CF versions, they look less tacky.

I think the CF altezza's are hot.. A LOT nicer than the chrome ones(no offence) I agree with JoeB16 tho, the 2k1's stock taillights are pretty nice by themselves(and free )

okay so the top pic is your ride, and the bottom is someone else's ride with carbon fiber tails. Had to clear that up. I say go carbon fiber, the chrome looks tacky with your car color and 4dr style.

On the darker colored cars I'd go with the chrome, lighter colors carbon. It draws the eye right to the altezzas.

Hi there, the carbon fibre tail lights are very nice [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]. I was wondering if you know where I could get the carbon fibre version of the strip above the number plate ?? Is there one for the front as well ?? Thanks.

IMHO carbon fibers are for darker cars. I've got a silver coupe with the chrome altezzas and they look great. Don't waste the money.
