I'm deciding whether or not to get altezzas for my 96 se, it is beige, please post some pictures so I can decide, thanks.

 

Don't get them.

 

 

You should know by now that this forum is ANTI-ALTEZZA!!!
Try and track down some David-L Red/Clear tails instead, thats the look you should want!!!

 

I, also, am anti-altezza.

But, it's your car, so you should do what you like and not take any **** about it.

 

I got altezza on my 96 max and it looks wonderful, but my car is a dark color. Go ahead and put it on yours and don't worry about the haters.

 

Altezzas are technically illegal. Don't be surprised if/when you get a ticket for them.

 

naw they are not cause I was pulled over by the police and it wasn't for a my altezza. They are legal!

 

I like Altezzas...but I know you are wrong here. I've been doing some reasearch on the matter. They are not sreet legal because they do not have side markers and do not meet certain standards...I can't remember exactly what they were....do a search and you will see. The only Altezzas that meet the requirements are those on the Lexus and those on the new Nissan Altimas.

I have Altezzas waiting to be put on. My car is going in for major work so I haven't put them on yet.

 

Well I put mine on and have had no problem

 

Get the Altezzas ... and then cover them up like so: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?threadid=60625

Oh wait ... you have a beige car... nevermind ... DON'T GET THEM!

Run! Run!

 

I wonder what it would look like with my beige car? Any photoshop experts? Thanks!

 

Personally I don't quite like Altezzas. But if one day I start to like it, I'd install it on light colored cars, otherwise the color contract is just too high. Also it depends the design. BTW I saw one black Accord, maybe 1992, with Altezzas. Looks to me it's a little ugly, like a baby with a broken dia...

 

I hope that was a joke. If you are serious, you really need to learn why that statement is a fallacy...

 

i have a 95 beige and they look good on it,i think they actully look better on a light colored car, they don't stick out as much, because of the contrast from dark to chrome there more noticable.
