Haha, MaxGTR, i agree they are pretty brokeback. Add another vote for the red/clears, you can even do it yourself since you are a 97. It is in the stickies, go for it

If you want altezzas, at least get the Gen2's like K-Town said. I personally prefer red/clears over all options. In the end, it comes down to whatever you like and want; it's your car after all.

Red/Clears all the way! They make the car look so much cleaner, whereas altezzas give you that "pimped out Honda look".

LMAO @ God punishes you I think that would change a lot of peoples mind. Redlinemax.com has them but on the site it says that they are out of stock anyone else know where I can purchase them or is the orange film mod better

Undecided

Im still undecided. But bith sides look pretty cool. I have a cracked passanger side trunk tail light, and thats why i thought to get Altezza's if i was going to replace them anyway. But more input doesnt hurt. Ill let you all know my decision when ones made. Thanks

heres mine. i like em way better than the damn gen 1 altezzas. i had red/clears before these and liked them too. its a question of what you want. do what you want to your car. i dont think my car looks ricey or hondaish at all. i like altezzas on white cars.

I LOVE the generation 2 - LED tail lights. The only reason I don't have them is that my car is a '95 and they won't fit.

What I think would look good on those is to say 'screw the reverse lights', wire the turn signal to where the reverse light is supposed to go, and have the center of both LED circles flashing when you signal.

that would be sweet. maybe i could make the sidemarkers into reverse lights

the only thing i dont like about em is how they buldge out. its weird.

On a 97, YOU ARE THE EPITOMY OF RICE!!!!! My 96 had them while I was awaiting my David L Red Clears. The Custom Enterprise 95/96 red clears still look nasty to me.

The other 5% is from the 95-96 group awaiting real red/clears. Sorry Custom Enterprise, your clear headlight fit my 97 fine although you can tell my grille is a bit higher but he!!, its better than my old yellow 97 headlights. Really though, your 95-96 red clears are a joke.

absolutely disgusting, you couldnt pay me enough to put them on my car. they look hideous and ugly, all types and all cars, none of them look good, i dont know what people are thinking when they say it looks good, i think its the ugliest mod you can do, besides a giant wing, i would say they actually tie for ugliest mod
