I'm going to save you the time and money by telling you don't get them altezzas. You'll regret it. Stick with what you have. Don't even bother with the Uks. It's like 300 bucks for one little stupid extra white lens part. But if you still want it ebay is the best place to get it because of the cheap prices. Oh and you do know that it is not real carbon fiber right?

First off, thank you for your help and opinions. However, i really like the lights and probably getting them anyway. Yes i do know that its not "real" carbon fiber, but im getting gun metal mags in the spring and i think it would be a nice accent to the car, since its a black coupe. If anyone has additional info, please go ahead and let me know. Thanks.

Steve

I wanted CF tails at first, but the cover on them is still clear, so they are not as dark as they look in pics... they have like a white border on them... so I just got the Jag-S halo tails...

try ebay guy... that is gonna be the cheapest place to go. you may like them, at least for a little while. i had the APCrap nexgeneration chromes, got sick of them. luckily i kept the oem ones, DIY custom tinted them, like much better than the teezas. your civic an 03? or is it an 04? if its an 04, i'll buy your oem tails.

The link that was posted had some really nice carbon fiber taillights for my 03 coupe. My question is, why is there such a discrepancy in price? That link was selling them for $239 plus $19 for s/h. Where you can go on ebay and pick em up for about $100-125!!! Is the quality that much better else where? Let me know! Thanks, and i appreciate all the input.
