check ebay to buy them.

I wish you didnt ask for anyone opinion of them, that just open up the flood gates.

If you like them buy them and enjoy. Perpaire for many people bashing these tail lights.

I know, but that gave them the arsenal to bash away and act in a ... you'll see.

I've seen many many threads on this topics and lights, and they all ended in complete disaster. Just note I called it.

If you can afford to top set of lights and you like them, then get it.

I'm sorry to say but I think e-bay would be your best bet. Most 4th gen aftermarket sites are next to gone. Best of Luck.

Definitely eBay for those. They are both fugly though. Just my opinion. Looks ricey to me. But it's your ride so get them if you want. They should add about 5 to 10 HP. LOL.

Well if you want the altezzas, I believe ebay has the ones w/ the LED circles for $90 in chrome and black. Check around the classifieds also. People are usually looking to get sell a pair.

i like the black altezza's but trust me i wish i hadn't buy mines and just get the conversion trunk and get those halo rings, IMO they are the BEST altezza tail lights ever made period, you can check cardomain to see if someone has the black one if you can find someone on here with it

oh you have those black ones? snap a shot then. i hate my stock tails....so anything better than those will work. I also like the red clears on ebay...saw them for 119 plus shipping so not a bad price.

I have the Gen II's on my car, with a nice 10% tint on them, so you really dont see much inside till I brake and you see the ring of LEDS.

yeah to be honest with you, i hate to use ebay also but what i do is get a friend that uses ebay that actually gets the product and pay them to get it for me, worked out perfect for headers and my friends cold air, the buyer has a civic which they got ebay headers from that where i got my altezzas from... but yeah the black or carbon fiber is hard to find, ebay would really be the best place, it's really not as bad as you make it sound

oh i see i see, hmm??? what else can i suggest??? buy the way how much was shipping on ebay? cause it may still work out cheaper to be honest, ebay is like almost 50% off so if they make up an extra 10% in shipping it would still be cheaper
