the majority of people consider altezza's ricey.

these boards prefer the look of red/clear tails rather than altezza's.

well, there is no set rule on what is, or is not rice. the term "rice" is diffrent for every org member here. when calling something rice it means that YOU think that it makes the car look bad, cheap or whatever. diffrent people have diffrent feelings. so basicly who cares what others think... if you like them, then get em! (personaly i don't like any lights like that... but once again that is just my opinion.)

Agree. IMO, depends on the color of the car, the c/f might look OK on a dark car, the chrome would look rice on just about any color Maxima. I've seen some nice Preludes that were ruined by the chrome altezza's.

If "SICK" didn't mean I liked it? Would I have said "Wow, I need to get these on my car?" Think next time.

what exactly makes a taillight an "altezza" tail?
on the original altezza, its a chrome housing.
so would a euro tail light with a CF style housing be ALTEZZA?
i hate how a name of a toyota car turned into such a BS word...wtf

i have a white 95 se with c/f altezza's, the color contrast kinda makes it look a little weird but i still like them, plus, it makes finding my car easier..

I saw a post on another Maxima site called www.vqpower.com that gave instructions on how to paint the Altezzas to match the color of the car.... The guy had some photos of his car with the painted ones in, and it looked F__king great. I have always hated Altezzas, but if I got some, I would paint em...... heres a link
