I have the altezza carbon fiber tail lights on my car, and I've gotten tired of looking at them. I wanted to paint my tail lights the color of my car, but I had one big concern. My car is the pearl white color, which is somewhat different than just white. Since I would have to take the lights to a shop to have them paint them pearl white, I was thinking of just doing them regular white. My question is, would just painting them white look bad on a pearl white car? I dont want to ruin them and have to put my stock lights back on, so someone please tell me what you think. Thanks.

I just painted mine last weekend, but my car is blue, paint is off pretty bad, there is a definate contrast. I wouldnt recomend doing it. I regret it and am currently looking for some new tail lights, i will probably just buy a 97 trunk and bumper since my car could use some paint. Just my 2 cents.

 

Yeah, I looked at your homepage, and with the color blue you have, I can understand how it would offset the lights a little bit. Although, I painted my stock 95 grille white, and it blends perfectly with the pearl white car. I was suprised. Thanks for the advice.

 

Buy paint from paintscratch.com they match the paint of your car. It's more expensive than regular spray paint but probably cheaper then having a shop do it. The paint looks perfectly fine.

 

your car is fugly, forget the altezzas, and just drive into a wall

 

im doing a complete gen 2 altezzas writeup in 1 week, i got the paint from paintsratch.com, 2 coats of primer 6-8 coats of the paint and 2 coats of clearcoat...60 bucks for the paint... matches perfectly

*paint them on the outside!!* no need to crack them open!

 

Hey man i think your car rocks. That guy is an a**hole.

 

 

I am pretty sure he was joking. Note the smile following his post...

 

looking at your rear, makes me wanna get some gunmetal altezzas...

 

I have a pearl white max and I painted the gen I altezzas on the inside. I think it looks much better than painting them on the outside. I had a shop make the paint for me but I would probably get it from paintscratch cause its cheaper. I went through two cans though. Actually five cans because I had two base, two midcoat and one clear. Yeah! Looks really tight. Email me if you want to see pics...

 

chris, keep the cf tails, and get a cf hood

 

SHADDUP *****!!!

Keepdiscoevi - Hey man i think your car rocks. That guy is an a**hole.

Yeah, he was kidding. Me and him have a little thing goin on right now hehe.


SonzofGod - Can you send me some pics to cdholland15@yahoo.com please.

Thanks guys!

 

uhh "thing" ? haha keep your thoughts to ureself!!

seriously tho, save up and get a CF hood. Also get those CF door sills... or whatever they are that you put on the side of the doors. The contrast will look good on ure white max

 

Jeez, yer so mean to me...

But no, I always thought the CF hood looked stupid if you didnt have much else done to the car.

 

I agree. i feel sorry for anyone who has gold lettering on there max. I would never consider buying a car with that sh*t. Screw the altezza cr*p and buy some wheels. and please, nothing gold.

 

 

I find it funny that you criticize my car. What do you have? a black maxima with cut coils and "bling bling" hubcaps?

I also think that just for you, Im going to get 150 spoke gold 13's with some fat tires.

 

you had better!

 

sonzofgod sent me pictures last night of his tail lights. i was amazed how much better it looks painted on the inside as opposed to the outside. i'm considering doing it now myself because it turned out so good on his.

 

95Tuner.. i like ur friends rims on the 3rd gen.. he he..

 

can you post some pics of the gen.1's painted on the inside plz

 

Yeah you probably should keep the same style goin...

 

hey can you send me the pics of them also...I got some altezza's on teh way and have been wonderign about doing the inside or the out side...thanks!!
