I'm not giving up though. I understand most of you like the red/clears or dtm mod the most but I'm convinced I can get altezzas that look good. Those genII lights look nicer than the ones I linked before.. I still think they'd have the same problem of not blending in with the trunk. There are some altezzas on ebay that have a paintable faceplate, ie the tails would not be recessed in clear plastic like all the others. I do think these would look nice as the rest of the taillight fascia would look like it was part of the trunk (ideally).
here's a link to the paintable tails... no I would NOT use the carbon fiber piece, I'd paint the other piece black and clearcoat to match my trunk.
paintable tails
I think that's about as close as they offer to what I'm looking for. Any thoughts on this idea? Again I respect that most of you like the red/clears and I kinda like them too, but we can't all have the same tails

My car is black and I also have these lights. I have a love/hate relationship with them. I thought to purchased the Gen2 LED but, I have seen them on ebay in CF, GM and chrome and neither color appeals to me. I have added LED bulbs to the set up. I am still not quite sure if I like the way it looks after adding the bulbs. While I am deciding on what to do, I will keep them on my car.
altezzas belong on one car, and one car only.... the Toyota ALTEZZA... aka Lexus IS300. I'm sure everybody here knows what it is.... it just seems that nobody realizes that that's the only car they should EVER be on.... PERIOD.

honestly. do what you like but be ready for hating by people.
i personally like red clears, but these altezzas are a step up from stock for sure.
i think for the price and if you got some cash to blow... why not?

It's just another brand name just like band-aid. Everyone uses the word band-aid when throwing those adhesive bandages on. These are custom brake lights. Custom brake lights have been available for purchase prior to the Toyota Altezza. Other names that stick are Frisbee, Kleenex, and Jell-O. Now cars are coming with Altezza like brake lights from the factory, so I guess you will have to live with it.Originally Posted by Chefasaurus

You should just tint you stock tails. That would look good on a black max. Just stay away from the altezzas.
