Everytime i look at my car, i love it, until i see those Altezzas, im just goint to paint the amber red, how do you take apart the top plastic part? There looks liek theres clips, but i cant get it apart

thanks..

 

you have to melt the casing to take it apart but people paint them for the outside cause the orange part is part of the case and if you paint the inside of the light, the amber will still show because it is glued to the casing.

 

ok, whats a good paint to use?

 

people use paint that matches the trunk part. it is caleed testors candy apple transparent paint and is sold in walmart.

 

thats on 97+ models
for 95-96 the outer lens actually is amber. no way to take it out, just have to paint over it.

now here is an idea i had: what if you took your alteezas and painted the outside lens with the same Testors paint you would use to paint your stock tails? i know there is the problem of the reverse light and how legal it would be and all, but i would like to see how that would look... so anyone got a set of Alteezas sitting around and willing to experiment with them?

 

hmm good idea, i dunno if i want to ruin them, cause i was thinking of either matching the outside to the body color, or taking them apart and painting the chrome black like the car... or in primer... But i just wanted a quick fix it while im doing that. What do you guys think, paint the altezzas the body color, paint the chrom inside body color, or try that candy red idea on the altezzas. Someone have good photoshop skills ?

 

I have decent photoshop skillz, just someone get me a good picture and I could do it :P ... speaking of painting and all, how much is that piant at walmart. Is it actual paint, or is it spray paint? (I hate non-spray paint hehe)

 

isn't he talking about altezza's???

 

95-96 tailights also come apart but you cannot remove the reflector from them causeit is part of the outer casing. but you could disasamble them if you wanted too.

so what are you mean is that paint the outside of the altezzas read?

 

maybe he s trying for the all red look, not a bad way to do it!

 

yep... just paint the entire clear outer lens with that same paint as you would normaly use for stock tails... just an idea though... i would love to see how it would look

 

interesting. and then you could put leds also and it would look even better. my 2 cents

 

hmm...i don't think it'd look bad at all



these were altezzas, no? and they look good....kinda like the new sentra tails.

 

If you gona be letin go of your altezas cheap then let me know.

and someone please photoshop how the all red altezzas would look with a reverse light still.

 

How much ur looking to spend for the Gen1 Chrome altezzas?
