Question about altezzas...
I have a white coupe and I'm looking at ordering some altezzas for it soon. If you're at this point and thinking "Altezzas are rice;" don't waste your time posting. (yes, I know APC sucks.) But since I think they look nice on white cars, what is the best brand for them and where is the best place to order them? Thanks. Also, is there any difference between the $100 ones and the $240 ones?

Werd. . .. TYCs own, in this case. Have a set of the chromes on my car, and the fit and quality is top notch.

And get them off ebay. I just ordered a set for one of my friends. . . . $150 for the tails, and $16 shipping.

when I first got my ride I bought TYC irst generation altezza lights they look nice but the sealing ctrap they used was grey so they look very sloppy. but the fit perfectly...now I got apc carbon-fiber altezza lights which looks awesome don't leak but they fit horrible. the lights on my trunk lid don't even sit in properly. it looks like you could just pry them off.....which brand of altezza are the best? i'm looking for carbon-fiber or gun-metal to match my front lights......

I would say that both the APC Chrome and the TYC Chrome would look nice.

I asked a question, you wasted your time posting that and my time reading it. Thanks to all who answered with something useful, I'll probably end up with the TYCs.
i like the red halo altezzas, and the APC carbon ones. you're probably gonna have to re-seal the APC's on your own, but i think they look good, no matter how horrible the quality is.
I really would recommend getting the non-chrome Altezza lights. If you must get those lights, get them in Carbon Fiber. It would look really good on a white. However if you are deciding to go Cleared Headlights as opposed to Projectors, than I guess you would go the chrome route. I think the CF Apc looks better than TYC CF ones. However its all up to personal taste. TYC builds better products and I have heard of the APC either leaking or fogging up.
