Any silicone will work as long as it's weather proof........


but the real question is how are you going to get them open?




I suggest one of these 2 objects.....personally i would go with the sledge hammer.

Hmmm, I have an idea. I think it'll work.

Take the APC "carbon fiber" tails off of your car.

Now, put them directly behind your back wheels. Get in the car. Turn it on. Put it in reverse, and slam that baby down to the floor.

Problem solved.

altezzas are played out in the US since i know you're from puerto rico.

if you're asking me what kind of silicone brand to go with i would use dap, they have pretty trustworthy products. get the clear kind and you're set.

I was told that you need a Type R sticker to stick on those lights. Then when you spell out what you got, which would be APC + R = CRAP, you catch my drift...

i support the previous comment

APC= A Piece of Crap

if youre going to get 'play'd' out tails, then at least get TYC.

p.s. i am aware i have em. but they are TYC so they only suck *** half way.

i disagree - carbon fiber tails look excpetionally good... im ordering some too -- apc are just hella cheaper than tyc, and as long as they're sealed right, your set.

TYC tailights are cheap compared to what some people sells altezzas for, go to www.racerwheel.com and that is the lowest I have seen for tyc taillights, and they are nice looking, I have them on my car.

you could even mask off the lights and paint the light frame to match the car color....
