im torn - need your opinion

im torn on which altezza's

i got a white civic sedan.

my leaning is heavily towards the red:
red TYC

but I also like the clears ovals:
clear ovals

and the carbon fibers too:
CF ovals


I wish I could put them on my car to see which ones look best. Anybody have an opinion? or have pics of their cars with these lights? (white cars only pleasE)

checkout my ride...i have the carbon fibre's....they look SWEET

but..in your case, if its white, you might wanna go with the clear ones, because it would add to the chrome appeal of your car.

just my $0.02!

ahhhhh!! you guys are not helping!! wish i had pics on a white car. I saw the reds on a silver and they looked sweet. the carbons look really nice on your black car tegnosis.

IMHO: Dont like blacked out headlamps for a white car. The completely clear chrome looks nice (gonna get the ***** to clear em myself - either that or just buy someone's cleared). No CF hood for me, wanna keep all my body panels the same color. But as for the tails ...... red looks almost light the hybrids. Not too riced out, but not stock either. The clears chrome tails look good on black cars. On white? I don't know - gotta see one. And CF - well - CF looks good everywhere right? Gotta see it on white tho.

hmmm - any pics? - doesnt have to be from this site.

I think you should go with the red ones. Carbon would look straight 2 but they look better on black cars.

What rims do you have or plan to get?

Edit: NM....I just saw you have white rims....I would say go with the clear/chrome look, then.

maxEmus - those tails you are talking about are the red altezzas from TYC. vino photocoped them for me on page 2 of this thread. I think they look sweet with a white car.

By the way - here is a comparison now. Thanks to 010001 - i stole his members ride pic for comparison.

thanks for you help and comments everyone. I've decided to go with the REd's after comparing the pictures. the more i think of it - the more i dont like the cleared on white. they would be awesome for a black car. just ordered em today from RSVersion (great prices over there by the way).
