Finally got pics of my recently added taillights!

Hey all, about a week ago I put on my generation 2 carbon fiber altezzas. I am not a fan of altezzas as many .orgers arent, but I must say these look really kool and imo they dont look ricey at all.







Let me know what u guys think.
Thanks!
-Tom

I am not a fan of altezzas but those look pretty cool.

I would take the pin strips off my car though...makes it look much cleaner.

Didn't they have darker ones. I think they have gunmetal and black. CF doesn't belong on lights.

The TYC lights are nice too, they look like these but I don't think they are altezzas.

Now I forget what they're called or who all makes them, but there are bulbs that are silver/chrome but are orange when lit up. Those would be ideal for you.

Red is legal for the rear. If you look at some new cars, the tails are all red except for the reverse light. The car that comes to mind is the Civic and the Accord coupe



This is why people red out the stock 95/96 tails

I like those! They look better than the other Altezzas I've seen on Maxima's in my town. Too bad they don't make them for 95/96's.

Then why did you put a "no" in front of your post? You could've said "red & yellow are legal" or "no, red & yellow are both legal"

Sorry man. Still not a fan. Nothing against your car, if you like it, go for it. But you did ask for opinions. In your case, it appears I'm outnumbered. I've never cared for altezzas, just not my style. I'm glad you like em though.
