Hey, same here I had the same problem. Take off the black rubber surround from the new altezzas, and you should be fine. If not, there is an edge on the outer tails (i presume you are talking about). Take a file, and file it down (the edge sticks out about an inch on the back of the taillamp, and I bet that's what is not allowing the taillamp to go in all the way--I had to file mine down, its a plastic "lip" of a sort". If you need help, let me know

Life is waiting for you!
Life.
How many times have you been
Pushed around
Is anybody there
Does anybody care
How many times have your friends
Let you down
Is anybody there
Did anybody stare
How many times has your faith slipped away
Is everybody high
Is everyone afraid
How many times have you wished you
Were strong
Have they ever seen your heart
Have they ever seen your pain
Life is waiting for you
It's all messed up but we're alive
Life is waiting for you
It's all messed up but we'll survive

the flash makes it look yellow for some reason... the middle piece of the plastic looks a little different on the 95-96 altezzas, so i guess it reflects different for some reason... i should have someone photoshop that so it looks red lol

thanks for the compliment superblack... i had a graphic guy put black vinyl over the outside pieces of the altezzas, it wasnt hard to do considering he does vinyl work. It came out real good no bubbles or anything and its holding up fine, i just need to get some hyper red bulbs so the tails are a brighter red.. tunedup, its a photoshopped pic... in reality my car is jacked up lol... i need to drop it soon. the rims are 17 motegi MR5's.. and nizmolee, you can tell him to aim me at Joewitthamaxima... also, your ride is sweet man

well you have to cover the shipping back to you, $$ for the guy to put the vinyl on, and a little extra for me to have to bring them to the guy to do it and all, hes like 15 minutes from me... i gotta box it up and all... im not gonna charge you much for that but i gotta get something to take the time to do that stuff... find out how much it is to ship it from 11725 zip code to where you live and well go from there
