That's your opinion. But as for the tape, I would think there would be a better way to conceal it than that. It would help if we could SEE what your talking about.

I dont get people that have red 7th gens and they swap their stock red rear lights for white/clear altezzas. Yo, that shiet looks ugly man, the stock lights being red out of factory look bad *** with stock red paint job. Freaking altezzas...ew

I got a red 7th gen and I took the red stock tails out... that doesn't mean I like the TYCs I got, but I like them better than the reds. That just makes the whole car look red, no accents, no trims, no style, no NOTHING, just red.... boring!

just take them apart(heat them up and cut the glue with a razor blade) and replace the white glue with a clear glue on my sedan.

dont listen to all these people telling you to put your stock lights back in, they dont have to drive t right?!
i think what someone else said earlier about cutting off the ugly part and prehaps useing some clear glue or somthign would be much better

someone should photochop a few new styles for our cars and maybe run it by TYC or APC, I'm not too hapoy with my Elegante, but as I said before, they're the best you can get
