Anyone that have got/seen/heard about the new Altezza rear light clusters for the FD ?? If, how does it looks (pic's thank's !) ? how does they fit ? is it "bolt on" or is there a difference if it is a eurospec car or Japaneese spec car ? mine is a euro spec car ! where can you buy them and what is the price aprox ? I will have to have them shipped to europe ! I think they gives the car a "personal" look, at least here in France/Denmark ;o) and they will match the rear lights of my RX 8 just perfectly !! looking forward to get you answers, thank's.

 

oh man.

 

lol I have that very add on Banzai
Probably the best place to get them if you live in Europe is the Uk, as if you get them from the US you will have to pay customs - should you want to do that, try ebay c USD 180 + shipping + customs
However, THEY LOOK DISGUSTING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I wonder what they would look like tinted out with something like the VHT Nite Shades. Expensive experiment but it might be cool. particularly the ones with the black background.

 

Why ruin the FD's sweet blacked out tail lights with something as disgusting as this.

 

Dude, if you put them on your car we will hunt you down, shoot you, and burn your car to the ground.

 

Hey Guys ;o)

Hmmm, different opinions obviosly !! To be honest what I mostly would like is the black 99 spec (round light) rear lights, but they are allmost impossible to get and cost a fortune !!

Riccardo : the lights on the picture you put looks even better ! is it the same (altezza) light clusters just modified/tinted ?? how can one do that ??

Why do you think the Altezza light clusters looks that awfull ? I mean, on my RX 8 they are just like that, do you allso think the rear lights on the RX 8 looks awfull ? I think they look fantastic ;o)

Dude, I did the coversion with a heat gun, spray paint, a pair of scissors, some project paper and everyone says "Wow, you bought the 99 spec lights!"

It would be much better to do the conversion on the older lights than to buy these hidious looking things.

 

I did my tail lights and it didn't cost me a thing! I had my buddy cut out 6 3" circles with his vinyl machine and I had some black spray paint laying around. Two hours later, and done!

 

such violence..i don't agree on buring the car to the ground but i would remove the lights, burn them and keep the car

 

Don't get them, I had them and not only did they not fit right, they leaked and also ruined the look of the car.

 

Can i just say that 99 spec lights that are home made look awful!!!!!!!


Its true boys and girls, 99 spec lights look **** unless properly done, sorry to be so harsh but i've had enough of this jdm bandwagon, do your own ******* thing ,........... really lads, be a bit adventourous and find some other way to update ya lights other than than the altezza versions or home made altezza's, for **** sake, who gives a dam!!!!!

This is a honda-tech all over!!!!!!!!!!!

Dan!!

 

Dude come and shoot me....gangsta!!!!!!!

 

hmm I dont know maybe its the color but Dan Nortons tails look good on his car. Thats my opinion, and yes I own altezzas on my protege so yeah.

 

Here is something different......

Cheers ian, much appreciated man, and i mean that!!!!!

Good to hear from a usa forum.

Dan!!

 

Oh yeah thats the good stuff....

 

Tail lights go with the bench and gayslide valence and sideskirt!

Uniformity is great!

 

We Landed On The Moon!!???????

 

Exactly what I was thinking...

 

I am allso a fan of Dan Norton's rear lights ;o) really, it looks much better with that black background ! how have you made that nice lights ? is it the Altezza's you have modified or is it a costom job you have done ? if, so it is a very very nice job Dan ;o)

Nice wing, and is that the veilside kit I see? Wow.

 

I hate altezzas, and hate these ones just as much (if not more). However on Dan's car they do look good. Must be the color.

However, do not try at home!

 

Rene
There are two types of altezas, the tinted and th really silvery ones
I second the hunting and shooting though, and beware I am closer to you than ApneaBlue lol

 

Yea its original veilside kit, c-west ally gt wing......and do you know what....I LOVE EM

The lines of the veilside kit suit the car a whole lot better than some of the god awful kits around.....mazdaspeed rocks generally, but that god awful stick on wide arches that mazdaspeed do look terrible
Also the front that goes with that kit make it look like an mx5 (miata)

I think its because veilside has been around a long time now and there are so many cars sporting that kit, that people get fed up of seeing it, but hey its each to there own and all that

Cheers,

Dan!!
