Altezza lights?

[geofroley]

How would I go about creating Altezza lights for say a Scion xB?

[mike@af]

Keep the lens' clearn then put the red signals on them. and put white or silver paint in the tailight housing, or BMF.

buy an Altezza Kit.. most of them (that are modified like Wald) have 2 set of chrome sprue, so you will have a spare set of light

Strongly dissagree there! The lights on the Altezza are a great piece of car design IMO and a breath of fresh air. Even the assortment of aftermarket look-a-likes they have spawned for almost every other possible car, are often a vast improvement to the boring, unstyled light clusters they are intended to replace.

Here's one way you can make your own -

alteazzas are ok looking stlye lights, my dad had a set of APC on his honda, and the right tialght leaked water really bad, smae with what happend on a freind mazda truck. and then when you bump the 12s in the truck the water woudl splash around and look dumb, and the chrome back started to peel off, so he went back to stock.

the clear lights on the toyota altezza car look great, thats were the altezza lights came from.

Altezza style aka tin foil tails are pure rice..lol.. Yes they look killer on an altezza and yes the real altezza lights look good swapped into some cars but when everyone and the mom goes and buys some lame apc tin foil looking pos lights it straight rice.. They make them for my truck, could anyone pay me enough money to put the ugly things on there nope.. Its kinda funny anytime someone posts there car they built everyone jumps on them and says man thats an ugly wing or thats straight rice but hell the first thing any ricer does is slap on a set of tin foil lights.. Oh well to each there own..lol.. Later Rick

thanks! someone who agress. they are but ugly! yea slaping on foil lights and a big metal wing on a stock honda! yea ugly. not only are the quality of the real life ones bad they are ugly. they are not made very good. my dad used to have them....o well waste of 150$ or how ever much, if i got them for free i would burn them

I like Altezza tailights, they help improve the car

BTW, they don't leak if there installed right, gotta make sure to put some kinda silcon around the edge, and it won't leak at all.

Since we're chiming in. I have to agree with Rick and Supermod. "Altezza's" (the aftermarket lights made for other cars) are super rice. We're talkin' the worst kind of rice. Super long grain Uncle Ben's rice.....with some nasty ketchup on top.....**yack**
