Hi, I wanna get a honda/acura and have it painted black.
now my question is, I'll be putting on altezza lights on the back, and I don't like the red/chrome match, so can I paint the light housing black, and just have the red lights.
any ideas??

You can buy Altezza's Already Black. Or even Carbon Fiber.

Are you sure you want Altezzas? How about some nice red/clears!? I just hate Altezzas....All I ask is think twice before getting them... :cool:

Why you may ask why I want them???
because I wanna get a black 90' Nissan 240sx and I don't wanna waste paying 900+ dollars to do the nissan 240 skyline conversion at the rear lights.
and I think the black altezzas look much better on black car then the chorome

i got the CF altezzas on my car and i love em. its your car dude, if you like em do it. but you can just buy pre-painted altezzas instead of doing it yourself.

Interesting concept. The only thing is, I don't believe they make any altezza lights for the 90' Nissan 240sx. I have looked around a bit and only see truck and Maxima ones....

I am not telling him not to get them. It is just that so many people get a car, are excited to mod it, buy altezzas as their first mod because they think they are "cool", only to ditch them a few months later and wish they did not waste $200 on the things and gotten something like a CAI instead....That is why i said for him to think twice, but I see he is interested in them for other use...

Thanks guys, that helped out a lot.

What I wanna say is that there are LOTS of ppl with altezzas on their cars, but only a few amount of ppl know how to make their car acutally look good.
