#26808, "altezza taillights?"


          

Well ok..like I bought um taillight covers for my car and tried to paint them but maaco fucked up and they are being stupid and like I tried to paint them myself a different color and it's all messed up..so I'm going to go buy altezza instead of fixing the paint cause it would almost be the same price..do you guys think clear/chrome altezzas would look better or black/chrome altezzas would look better on my car..it's a 95 dark green GS-T..here's a pic

well, i have the chrome altezzas on my dark green RS and i think they look nice...thought i dont use the center peice they supply, looks kinda played out. but if i were you, id either leave the stock center peice like i currently have, or take that supplied center and have it painted the same color as your car (what im about to do). many people on here like the c/f or blk chrome.

i would get the c/f or anything with dark housing.. it just looks better on darker (hell... all) cars than the chrome ones. but around here.. most will say stick with stock.. personally i like certain altezzas, but only a couple. go with what you think looks best.. emoji

Is the center light piece (the ones with like two or three circles) for the center piece easy to install? cause the stock one has no light in it but some altezzas come with a center piece that have like lights in them..do I have to rewire anything or anything..and my center piece i painted like silverish..it doesn't look that great..so I might put the altezza lights on there or something..Thanks

well check my sig to see how the chrome looks on a green eclipse....personally i love them, i dont care what anyone else thinks. these have the circles in the metal around the circular lights in the middle piece, and the lights currently do not work but i am planning on making them become a brake light. i love the way these look on my car and i was debating whether or not to go w/ chrome or c.f. and i think i like the choice i made. just my $.02

There are not lights in the altezza centerpiece. They just have the two red lenses for looks. However if you want to get creative you can cut into them and put lights in the centerpiece. You will have to splice the wires. There is a walkthrough on this website on how to do it.

I have a set of chrome altezzas sitting in my garage, the center piece is still brand new in its origional box. They are in great condition and I will give you a 2GNT.com deal on them if you are interested. I'm selling them, because I went back to stock tails.
