Altezzas suck, put the stocks back on, thats how you fix the water problem

I noticed your sig/sig picture says "Got rice? I don't" is this a true statement or are you just joking with us

ouch! That hurt, thanks man I appreciate it. It is only a saying, take it as you will. If I had wanted stock lights i would have left them in dont you think? yeah ok then emoji BTW, i dont have all the money in the world to get a paint job, and everything else, i work to support my family, I do what I can to my car whenever I can save up enough to do so, I got tired of my front end being black, so I painted it blue. If you dont like it, you dont have to look at it.

Why wouldnt you just paint it silver to actually match the rest of the car?

Really though, i'm just busting your balls, take the altezzas apart and just reseal them better, they are made very cheap.

how are the lights glued together? if they are bonded by heat then i don't think it would be wise to open them, because if ya don't seal them well they will only leak in more water and dirt.
but if they are simply glued together like our headlights then it would be as easy as taking the headlights apart, minus crawling under the car to get to the proper bolts

I have been on this website since it first started, way before this board ever came to be. I wasnt trying to be rude or anything, i was only saying. well to be honest i was going to paint my whole car blue but i just havent had the money to do it with and that was all i could afford, plus i didnt have the time or tools to do it all with, the front end alone took over 10 hours to do and i think i did a damn good job with it. That is my son, he is the one who actually inspired me to do the whole superman theme.

you can use the oven baking method that is used for the headlights. just be careful because the plastic will melt. i did my headlights with no troubles at all, i tried the same thing with altezzas and the plastic warped a little. just dont use the heat so high and check on them often. also, if you cant pull them apart, DONT pry them, you will break the plastic. just put them back in the oven for a little bit longer. hope this helped ya out.

First off welcome to the board. Lets start by saying please do not write in caps....

Second, after purchasing that many sets of Altezzas, dont you think that there is an issue and maybe you should throw the stocks back on?
