altezza 2nd generation gunmetal or simple clear corners?

Pretty simple options for the rear lights I think. I've gotta '99 burgundy max. No spoiler or anything (probably not gonna get one at this point). Shaved emblems. Gunmetal rims (hence the option of gunmetal background for the Altezzas).

So, which do you prefer?

Clear Corners are a must I feel before Tails, even thought my vote states other wise, I feel you should bet the clear first.

There is a big price difference between those 2 objects,
CC: ~$30 shipped ebay
GenII: ~$155 shipped ebay

Just to clear up any confusion, by clear corners, I meant rear clear corners, not the front ones (which I already have).

This is just a direct head-to-head match-up of what I should do with my rear lights.

Sorry if my poor phrasing led to some confusion.

if you say altezza's are played out you must be joking cause alot more people have red/clears compared to altezza's. Now i am not sticking up for altezz'a, cause acually i bought red/clears, but red/clears is going more with the crowd. who cares what everyone eles thinks, just by what the hell you want. if you like then there ya go.

BTW i have a set of gunemtal gen2's for sale.

everybody hates altezzas, but he is talking about gen twos and they are not bad at all. i hate altezzas too but i have the gen twos and love them, i am always getting compliments on them. i have even had people ask when when im on the road (at lights and such) where i got them because they are so nice. but as said above it is all your decision, you need to get what you want not what everyone else is telling you to get.

Tons of Honda's have red/clears too...stock.
Haven't seen a Honda with LED rings for taillights.


I'd go with the Gen II's. Much more distinctive.

I just put on GENII's carbon fibers. My rear taillight broke so I got these cheap off my friend. I thought htey were rice at first but it's not so bad on a dark color car. I'm actually starting to like em.
