Alright, I was just wondering where everyone is from. I am a west coast guy and I still see a lot of people putting Altezzas on cars. I am a firm believer in the fact that what you do to your car is just a reflection of the person, but......I thought Altezzas had died out about two years ago now, at least here on the west coast. We're all in to doing tail light mods like lexus lights on the trunk and stuff. Just wondering....If I'm wrong thats cool too though, much love!

 

Where are you on the west coast? Im originally an Oregon guy, so Im feelin ya. I also thought that Altezzas died a well deserved death. I never much liked them anyway, and especially since, at one point, it seemed like EVERYONE had them on their car. Im currently in Tennessee, and I havent seen Altezzas in a while.

 

im on the east coast and i feel the same way. But i found some pretty cool ones, i plan to go with are these http://www.migicute.com/tychdac0305btl.html

a bit pricy but i like how they look, particulary with the color car i have. and my head lights are dark on the inside like that

 

alright so I get to post my stupid question for the month.... What classifies a light as being "altezza" style?

 

A lot of taillights are labeled "Altezzas," but these are what started the trend, what I consider true Altezzas. And also what I would consider played out.

yea the meatball style with the chrome backing

 

yeah I had a set almost identical to those on a civic about 2 years ago *LOL*

 

haha whoops.....those are exactly what I have on my Accord! Though I still think they look better than stock. I see about 10 Accords of my gen everytime I go in town and the oem ones just look eh to me. If I had more money I would either get the TYC jaguar ones or smoke them.

 

Oh yeah. But you know....manufactorers are starting to make stock altezzas, such as the new Honda Pilot and Nissan Altima!

 

Ive got the fake Jag taillights on my car. I like them, they dont look stock, but they dont look crazy either. It would look a lot better if I didnt have a big dent on the right rear corner of my car though. I really need to get some pics of my car in the gallery. Maybe tomorrow, I hear its gonna be 60 degrees, so I can wash my car first lol.

I hate the fact that manufacturers are putting Altezza style tails on new cars. Grrrr...
