Please don't post if you're just going to complain about how you don't like Altezzas.
If I were to get Altezza/Euro tail lights, which do you think would look better on a silver 7th gen Civic, the carbon fiber/black ones, or the silver ones? I'm thinking the carbon fiber ones would be better looking because they would contrast the silver, where as the silver ones just blend in. Plus carbon fiber is just damn cool (I'm covering by subwoofer box and amp rack with carbon fiber look sticker!)
Anyone have pics of Altezzas on a silver car?
What is the correct name for these things...I switch between Altezza and Euro and I want to get it straight once and for all.
Also, where can I get these for a 02 coupe? I think I saw them on one site, but they aren't very common.

i think altezzas in CF would look sick on a silver car...... just to remind u... they are not true CF. its just the way they painted the housing..... but other than that..... it would look

if your gonna have cf tails then i think you should do a few other things, first of all tint would make it look much better, then maybe a set of the gunmetal headlights, and an altezza grill....this will establish a more of a color schem
im in the process of considering this same look

I say go with the cf. Im going with the APC sh|t ones, i guess i'll just seal them. G2 i think. There's a bunch of rides in the members section, just search. I found them at MatrixRacing.com for $169.99, which as far as I know is a good price, I trust them too. However on there website they say that these are the cf ones, is that true, or is this a pic of gun metal? Can i find these cheaper anywhere else... they aren't on ebay anymore.

I've noticed there are several different styles. There's the ones with the single big round circle (wtf am i talking about...circles are usually round) and then theres the ones with 3 or so smaller circles. I kinda like the ones with the multiple smaller circles. What do you guys think?
silver car.... actually either would match... silver cars are easy to match with anything.... not like my BLACK civic... i have CF lights on mine only b/c CRHOME lights on a black car looks NASTY!!!
actually, i like chrome more on a silver car, or look for GUN METAL housing, that would look better than chrome...
that's my opinion...
good luck!

if you're on a tight budget go with the 3 small circle in chrome...having a silver car with chrome really looks good...
check out the marketplace on this site too for prices...some peeps sell them for as cheap as 65 bucks...
