Since you got a Black civic I would go with a set of TYC's new black chrome lights. Here is what they look like on my friend Darias car:

[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG] Sorry, but in my opinion, they don't look as nice as I thought they would. I think the CF tails look better, although I don't like altezza's as it is anyway...but just pickin the lesser of two evils here. LoL

what she said ^^^^^^^^^
I personally don't like the pattern of the lights,.....If any, I'd go w/ CF...
I wish they'd come out w/ some blacked out tails w/ the OEM light pattern

I have the APC CF Altezza style lights now for over 6 months and there are absolutely no problems with them. They are DOT and SAE approved and work great. But if you don't like APC, then I guess you are SOL on that one.

Bartkat's Kar. Click here and scroll down for tail light pic.

Parking that close to that Poniac makes your Civic look even better.

Bartkat, that GTP is badass...Its not stock....You gotta see the civic in person. It really looks good. I have the Donut Carbon fiber lights on my car and I think they look great, and they dont leak. I paid $90 for mine on ebay. I dont like altezzas either, I was just tired of the stock look to the rear of my car.

Civicdude,

Yep. I just sold my 94 Firebird LT1. Love them Pontiacs. That car would run and run and never ever had a problem with it.

they make the tyc in carbon fiber too now. i think the tyc look the best out of the rest. they are also good quality and don't leak. they also come with a certificate of compliance so you cannot get a ticket

Whose tal light leak?

I know some of the early imported lights didn't comply with US and state regs, but that's all been fixed now, by most brands.
