Unhappy I really need Help!?!

Here's the deal, I have an '02 T.White Civ Lx Coupe and Im trying to see what I want to do with it. I have some of those lame *** altezza's (you kno' the first generation ones w/ the one big eye and one small one) I noticed some time ago that they are not waterproof and when I first installed them that they didn't even fit perfectly. Ok, now about a month ago I was just going to put my stock tails back in but i slipped up and dropped the driver's side one and chipped it at the top and a lil on the bottom. I figured i'd just keep those in until I bought the TYC tezza's. Now after riding around town and seeing about 2 50 yr old women in '02 Civs with damn altezza lights i have come to realize that it wasnt in my best interests to get them in the first place. I want to either go back to stock or I was thinking about gettin those red masked altezz's that I saw online. What would you do? I have more problems but I'll split them between forums. - - seCo

hmm.. did you buy an APC product? hehe, if i were you, i'd stick with OEM tail lights or if you have the money, get the jaguar type (halo) tail lights. they look pretty good at night too. you might also try to take your OEM tails to honda and see if they can fix it.

btw.. wrong forum

Hmmm, Thanks for the replies. I think I still might just go ahead and get the red "some *****". Also, heres one last question...what color rims for my white car? I know people are already thinking white, but I dont like the way the rims sort of out shie the car. I was even thinking of going with black just for something different.

djmota is just really nicedjmota is just really nicedjmota is just really nicedjmota is just really nice
on the tails i would either go back to stock or get the real Honda euro ones.
Black on the rims would be a cool racey look. or like aznstylez254 said gold or bronze would be different . a white car is one of the few colors that can sport gold or bronze and still look nice.

OEM!

BTW I've always wondered WTF is the difference between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation? I know theres ones that are all clear, then theres the "Altezza" style w/the chrome. So whats the third generation?

Weapon....


I was going with 17'. This site also helped me a lot on tire size. I always wanted to get 40's for that really thin look so my rims would look bigger, but i figure I'd go with 45's cuz its not THAT much of a difference when you have a good set of springs, plus that whole thing I've been reading about the speedometer trouble. I hate wheel gaps but the springs should take care of that and plus VA's roads are toO crappy for 40's.
