Dreaded Altezzas
So tell me this
What's the big deal with Altezzas?????? SO many people hate them, yet I see them all the time, and I don't think they look that bad! Maybe there are some models that are better than others...but i dunno, they're kinda cool looking! Tell me what you think of them, and maybe post some samples, cause im looking into taillights!!!!!!
Thanks!

hey, sam, altezza isn't the name of company. it's the name of one of the toyota models (probably the IS300 up there; i don't know about canada
). anyway, the style of tail lights that come on them stock are...unique (?). so when companies started copying that style, people called them altezzas. well, whatever; this has been written about a lot, so you can probably find a lot of info if you look around.
good luck
P.S. IBTL = in before the lock

imp: Well I have chrome housed altezzas on my white 02 and I think they look pretty sweet...and I get plenty of compliments on them too. Never heard a complaint yet. I have a pic up on my rides gallery so take a look. If you don't like them, don't put them on your car. Who gives a **** what someone else's car looks like?
i had them on my sedan for about a month then i ripped them off.
(i think i might take a baseball bat to them and make a quick vid)
i bought the new sedan tails that civicsky had going (search: sedan tails if you wanna see them. but i think you have a coupe anyways)
i think most people don't like them because every kid who has a honda has altezzas as a "mod" and that's all they've done to the car.
they are rice IMO.

Well i'm switching my ride back to stock for the winter. With the stock rims and wheel covers on, it does look kinda gay with the chrome housed altezzas even though it's a white car and looks decent (in my opinion). I think I'm just going to put the stock tail lights back in. Still got my cleared corners and leather interior. Rock on :-D
i remember when altezzas for the 01 first came out, i picked em up fast after i put them on damn i hated them... altezzas r made of cheap *** thin plastic and they dont fit. Then tyc came out with some for the 01. love em. they r made just like the stock tails and they fit perect!
