Gen. 2 Alteezas; Anybody Got 'em on Ya Max?

Not I, no problems with install except the nuts from the stock tails dont work with these the bolt or whatever that sticks out is to long for the thing to scre on, so I have to use some regular hex nuts with out the lil rounded top deal, but other than that, no. Have had them on for about 7 months and they are still as good looking as when i got them

i got gen2 gunmetal on a black 97. installation was simple. no problems what so ever. you can honestly just look at your taillights and figure out how to get them out. unscrew everything, disconnect wires, PUSH HARD and bamn they are outa there. there is black gunk all around them don't get it on your paint. also i plan on adding a layer of silicon all aroudn them just to make sure they don't leak =] not ricey at all...very nice looking...amazing at night.

Hey - Where did you order them from? I ordered some last week from southwestautoworks.com. They were the cheapest there at $159.

Yeah, I'm kinda considering these also but I'd rather not draw attention to myself. I honestly do like the way they look, especially because they would blend pretty well with my dark green. However, I'm into subtle upgrades for the most part and its really hard to decide if I should get em or just go with red/clears. Enthusiasts would notice the red/clears but pretty much anyone else wouldn't, its kinda funny how someone who has no clue about cars would ignore a subtle drop and performance mods, then see some altezzas and be like "OMGZ your car is hooked up!!".. heh.
