ok, if you want aftermarket, I say chrome with silver. black for white, black cars ok, but looks kinda cheap on silver civics.

i have the carbon fiber tyc lights on my titanium civic. I highly recomend them over just the chrome ones. The chrome ones make your car look cheap and make it hard to tell if you are braking or not. So my suggestion is the carbon fiber ones. Good luck picking them out.

Why buy something with someone else's money, and looks so close to stock, why not keep the stock ones, and use the money for something else, intake, ss, . . .etc. its a total waste of money

Because I was told to pick out new tail lights, I have my exhaust and intake. Money isnt a prob as long as it doesnt involve messing with my warranty.

Well, most people are trying to get away from the "Altezza" look, but still want something different than stock.

I like those better than CF or chrome tail lights. I used to have both chrome and CF taillight on my 01 Civic, and now I hate it. So played out, especially Chrome taillights. but Stock looks just fine.

Why do people have keep on saying "stock" and be altezza hating? Why don't you guys just save yourselves extra typing and leave the thread alone. This thread wasn't about stock or altezzas so I don't know why people feel the need to say "stock". Geez, every freakin thread about altezzas, there is always someone that says "stock". We get the point leave the thread alone!

EDM tails are nice but wait too much. those matrix ones are the nicest once you see a bunch of ppl with altezzas you get sick of them IMO that's why I'm selling mine.

Uhm, these may look like stock to some since theyre red, but when they light up they wont look stock. Kinda nice IMO since theyre different and not altezza looking. I bet they look good at night. Thanks for the pic. Take some night shots if you get them.. thanks again.
