I usually hate alteezas but those are pretty decent. I dont like the outer lining much though. Take Care

 

Great so if you get the stillen front grill your car will look like a pontiac from the front during the day ...

and at night it will look like a chevy impala from the back.

Drugs and altezzas are bad mmmmmmkkaayyy

 

Aren't there sidelamps in the corner edge of the lamp? Looks good

 

By themself the Altezza are illegal according to NHTSA! The lights are missing the required side (red) reflex reflectors.

Here is a quote from a site linking the NHTSA Standards (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's):

"...If you compare the photos of a stock 2000 Chevy S10 taillamp and an Altezza style taillamp for the same model, you notice that the Altezza style lamp is missing the side (red) reflex reflector which existed in the OEM lamp. This particular Altezza style lamp may also be missing proper side marker functionality as well."

The site I found this on also linked gave a wealth of information about lights and other automotive regulations including your own state regulations. This data was taken from the following site link: Altezza Style Taillamps

Someone mentioned that the DOT marking doesn't mean s@*t and that seems to be true. What the lights need are the SAE markings. The SAE symbol and year indicate that the manufacturers have certified that the taillamps conform to the indicated SAE standards of the indicated year. One site has a disclaimer on their site about the Euro lights stating:

"...Euro Clear lenses are DOT approved, but taillight modification laws vary from state to state. Please check your local laws."

I have seem some Altezzas with the red reflector built into the side of the red outermost circular lens housing. It seems that all you may need to do is to add a side red reflector somewhere on the side back if the car. Make a design feature of it and put it on the side of the bumper, similar to the Corvettes.

Lastly, I ran across this statement on my state regulation site:

"...In addition to the lights required in this section, each such vehicle shall be equipped with amber reflectors located on each side thereof, at or near the front. Red reflectors shall be used on the rear of each such vehicle. Such reflectors shall be securely fastened to the vehicle not less than fifteen inches and not more than sixty inches from the ground. For a vehicle that is less than fifteen inches tall, however, such reflectors shall be securely fastened thereto at the highest point the structure of a vehicle will permit. The reflectors shall be of a type approved by the Superintendent."

The 6th Gen Max has those red pointed reflectors on the back side panel because their rear tail lights also don't have the side reflectors. That's my 12 cents.

 

Your car looks tight!
Where did you buy these black chrome altezza lights from?
Also, how much did they cost?

this was your headline:
and heres the question:
a little contradictory dont ya think?

 

 

Okay smart-***...
I have seen them called "Black Chrome"...
I did get my point across & that's what matters...

 

No, "smart-***", Black-Chrome is another style of Altezzas, very different from the Carbon-Fiber ones. Clicky.

Hey now, Altezza's DO look good on a rice colored maxima....dam, 190 for the red and white clears? there was a group deal not too long ago for them going for 155 shipped....i missed out on some good sh*t...oh well, i'll wait till prices go down or the next group deal....

 

BLAH. Altezza's are so passè. He should have saved his money and dropped the car. I'll never understand the "rims before springs" thought pattern so many people seem to have.

 

His car used to be dropped. He went back to stock.
