    Still have "altezza" lights on your car?

    Do any of you guys still have "altezza" lights on your cars? My friend recently backed my car into a truck and she's paying to fix it out of pocket. I don't want to have her pay for expensive OEM rear lights. I own a 2002 Black Sand Pearl and I thought about purchasing some carbon fiber or black altezza/euro lights.

    If you still have them on and you own a 98-02 rolla can you post pictures? I should probably do a search for pictures, and I will. But for now some extra help would be kind. Thanks.


    ______
    I was thinking about these exact lights, but black instead of carbon fiber.

    I would like to thank all those who took the time and effort to link their pictures here. I just found out that, after I told my friend how long it was going to take the body shop to fix it (it won't be finished till next year), and about how much it was going to cost (almost $4.5K), her parents decided to go through insurance. So my car will be back to stock! I'm satisfied.

    yep.... well, and Silvia S15's are ok... since they look pretty damn good with them... but then again, how many actual S15's are driving around......

    when i think of altezza (or euro, or clear, or whatever) lights.... all i can think of 'this person is trying to be original... however, they've become quite the opposite of original, as every other person had that exact same idea and all followed through with it'

    it's almost more rare to have stock (or modified stock) taillights in a modified car than to have altezza's

    Good point. I've been on the HIDPlanet forums lately and have been looking through some of their LED installations on their tail lights. It's inspiring me to try something like that.

    to be honest one of the best sets of tail lights i've ever seen for an dc3 integra is a set that my old roommate ended up 'creating'.

    we had a set of altezzas lying around (a friend who had an integra crashed it.... he got a gsr, left some parts here, and on his way back home one day he rolled the car.... we ended up with some lights).... he found some dark red tail spray in the garage, made a design on them with the paint and masking part of the lights off as well, then went over again with a darker color.... then again with an actual mixed clear for a car..... they came out amazing.... too bad they never got on a car. I wouldn't have considered those altezza's anymore because you could barely tell that's what they started as
