Do you guys like Altezza lights ?

I think that it depends on the car and what else your going to put on the car . Well today when i was leaving the beach i saw a little riced out Neon ....some gay little red color close to pink and it had altezza lghts on it and i started laughing my ass off and said why in hell would u do that to a car ? Hell he had plastic little hub caps and the dark outs on the front of his headlights for godshake If your gonna put altezza's on a car do it a decent looking car and make sure it looks good and if you plan on fixing up a car dont do a half ass job ....if you plan on fixing it up go All Out or dont go at all . It just pisses me off to see all these little Pieces of shit with Big ass wings and Jap writing on an american Car . Heres another one i saw a Ford Escort with Type R stickers all F%$@! over it and a big one on the rear windsheild that had some jap writing and the a BIG F^%@ R ........I'm saying to myself what a Fucking idiot hell can u be any gayer ??????? i think not :mad: . Oh yeah back to the subjuect about altezzas i like them and stuff its just they dont belong on (FORD RUSTANGS) and (POS NEONS) The people that own these vehicals actually think they look nice but in actuality they are getting laughed at REAL bad :p . So dont clear out your v-6 rustangs with clear outs and put Jap writing all over an AMERICAN MADE car and Put TYPE R stickers and emblems all over them .... Thank YOU :spit:

i dunno...
depending on the color of the car, and what style altezzas... b/c some of em are just shitty in quality...
i like them though...
but you said it. as long as they are on the right kinda car, its all good...
i disagree on the neon trip though... those arent bad cars at all, there are alot of well sorted neons out there, it is just that there r more ricey ones kickin out there. i think that i a properly done neon with altezzas looks good...

but to support you... there is a neon in the new import tuner (?) that has a touring car lookin neon w/ racing seats and all the necessary shit on it that looks ok, and the damn thing is an auto. wtf???
but there are civics out there that exhibit the same shit...
rice is rice is rice...
:apuke:

Yea i am with god, they are cool and all but not on the pos cars and rustangs and shit!

I like them on Altezzas.

Depends. Sometimes they are nicely done, but often they are stupid looking.

I don't know why people put fake stickers and stuff....think about it...the people they are trying to impress (i.e. the people who know what a Type R is) are the people who know how stupid and ridiculous they are. Idiots.

Mom: "I saw a car I thought you might like today. I got close enough to read the badge, it was a Dodge Neon Type-R."

Me: "Was it now....."

:D:D

Hey Hondacsi: why does your sig say Ka power? That symbol says Ka in Japan.

He secretly drools over Ford Ka's. Especially the ones with body coloured bumpers and leather seats :D:D j/k

I'm on an seperate Escort board too, and one of the other guys posted a pic of his 'scort. It's a 3rd gen ('97 to '99) 4 door with mods. It would look great if it wasn't for the offset racing stripe made up of various Japanese symbols, the Escort SE-R logo on the back, and the "Escort Type R" with the big red R on each lower rear door...

Well can we say RICE!!!!!! why must people put import stickers on domestics do they really want to have one that bad ? Well if they do they can always go out and "BUY" one

Exactly. He spends all his time complaining that nobody respects an Escort, and trying to get people to realize that it's not such a bad car after all just because it's domestic, then goes and put import stickers on it. If like your domestic so much, why make people think you want a Honda or Acura? Come on...

I also think that the Escort doesn't recieve the attention it deserves, it's a small, front drive 4 cylinder just like Civics, and it's really just a Protege, but I don't try to get it some attention from the Honda croud by putting Honda logos on it. That's just stupid, IMO.

I like Altezza taillights on Altezzas, and almost nothing else.

The only exceptions I'll live with aren't even exactly the same, just close. They're the new Lexus GS and RX lights, because, hey, Lexus can use their lights on their own cars all they want.

I say they look dumb on everything else. Just because they're the right shape to fit your 5th gen. Accord or your Neon, doesn't mean you have to have them. And for heaven's sake, if they're not the same shape why would you just want to COPY some other car's style, especially when everybody else is copying the same style.

So many dumb jerks in Civics with Altezza-style lights when the Si lights look so cool already!

I have yet to see an Accord or Neon that tries to compete the masquerade by either building-in or simulating the round inner pair of lights. Now that might look decent and well-done, but it would still be copying.

I'm going to go to my local Honda parts department and order a whole S2000 trunklid, and make it fit on my old Accord. That'll be cool!

it could be that they are just getting startet with a project car. don't bash it 'less you know more about it.

but a type-r sticker on a ford anything is pretty much pouring a bucket of diareha on the whole type-r name.

I'm sick of seeing altezzas! Everyone and their mother has them on their car. Leave them on the car that came with them, IS300 and Altezza. Nothing against them, just that everyone has them. It's out of control.

/me drools over the hks altezza....

mmmmm good.

No, No, NO!!! I don't know about the rest of you guys, but where I'm from, they got Altezza lights on everything. I'm sick of them. It's quite rare for me to see a car where the lights look good on them. I've gotten so sick of them that I gag when I see IS300s! Yech. Those things are so played out.

I like them. I think they look good on a yellow, red, and black paint job. Maybe blue

:frog: does anyone liek the new neon r/t cause my family is getting that and it quite a nice little rice rocket considering it's domestic but it's got some pep. 0-60 in 7.7. Give me some feedback on it ahrite

we have hics out here putting the damn things on there jacked up chevies, its sickning. They belong on 2 cars. only.

I know! I see those pieces of crud everyday!! Down with altezza lights!!! Only the Lord almighty (not GOD@af) what the next trend will be.

Might be better posted in the neon forum;)

In general I dislike them, but some cars look good with them. The problem is that everyone has them, so the good looking cars end up looking ricey or something.

But, I saw a navy blue integra with them and it looked GREAT!

Let me walk through my thinking.

Someone customizes or soups-up their car to:
[list=1]
make it how you like it
impress others
[/list=1]

If it's (1.), then do whatever the hell you want to your car, because if you're doing it because you like it, you won't give a damn what anyone else says about it.

If it's (2.), nobody's going to be impressed when you roll up with the same junk on your car that the last twenty kids have.

Now, if you roll up with no junk on your car, because you chose to spend that money on equipment, like a free-flowing intake or a better exhaust system, that will actually make your car perform better that it looks like it can, now that's impressive. It's called building a sleeper and it seems to be a lost art. It is inherently impressive, because it will literally make others think, "Wow, I didn't expect that!"

Yesterday, I saw a 4th gen Accord not with Altezza taillights, but with Jaguar S-Type taillights. They looked pretty good; something new, yes, but its still copying!!!

well ok, i have only liked the altezza's on one car ( other than what is was supposed to come on) an dit was a 97 silver civic. that is the only one. I HATE THEM other than that. they dont' belong on anything. I can't stand to see people witht hem and i will say someting to them right away. it just kills me to see it. i feel bad for the car. oh well i guess some people just don't feel that way.


oh and one more thing, projector's on a civic, yeah that has to go, if you wanted a teg you should have bought one.

Come on now, its been played out for the longest time now. Anyone who still has those lights on they're car should take em' now.

I dont care for the Original ones... but the new ones arent as bad.. I like the carbon fiber and black chrome ones about the best. They look alittle cleaner IMO..

It all depends on the car - the more time that goes by the gayer it gets though

SAY NO TO ALTEZZAS!!!!!!!:apuke:

I like Altezzas for every other type of cars except for :

Mitsubishi Eclipse (old one)
Integra
Accord

.... it just doesn't look right if you have a wide rear view lights... but for smaller ones it looks pretty nice.

Personally I think that Altezza light s are played the fuck out. I've grown up around my brother and his racer friends and now have a car of my own, but abut 3 years ago when the first altezza light came out on the Toyota Altezza, that was the sickest shit anyone had seen. If you had an altezza conversion you got more bitches than you could handle. BUt nowadays you see them on everything. On cars with no mods except the stupid lights! You see them on trucks, suvs,domestics, and mostly old mustang 5 point SLOWs (5.0). I'm keepin my stocks lights, I think they look a lot cleaner anyway.:devil:

Yeah I'm pretty tired of them myself.......Still the worst that I've seen are on the big ass SUV's and the Ford Ranger:confused:

They look good on silver cars only in my opionion. A small percentage of the CF housing ones look good, there is an accord at my school that has em that looks really cool.

Damn, teg owners are stuck up, I thought it was just people I knew but I guess snobism among teg owners toward civic owners is widespread:finger:

Ok, I got some pics of the black accord I mentioned earlier. On the front he kinda has some carbon fiber grille shit going on but you cant really see it cause the pics r crappy.

The accord looks good, unlike this thing.

I know one thing, the more I see them, the more I hate them! In my town, I see them EVERYWHERE and you get tired of it.

man and i just painted mine gloss black. well i'll guess i'm goin to take them off.:rolleyes: oh yea if you want to see them they are in the exterior,bodykits section under "painted the ol' altezza's" or something like that

altezzas can lick my balls. nuff said.

I actually saw them on a Cadillac Escalade and it looked like ass. I swear the value on that SUV dropped by at least $10,000 after seeing them on.

FUCK NO. the worst are PT cruiser altezzas

Yea, the PT ones are pretty bad. I seen an early 90's camry with them once, but I dont even think they were made for that car, I think the guy ghetto rigged em in.
