Why does everyone seem to hate Altezza?
I've been shopping lately for some new tail lights for my 01 accord coupe and on other forums everyone seems to hate Altezza tail lights. I was just wondering why and what your opinions were. If you have any suggestions for a place where I can get some nice looking tail lights please feel free to say so. The only ones I actually like that I've seen so far have been the black housing Altezza ones, but I'm pretty new to all this stuff.

The biggest reason that people rag on them is because they've been done so much they lost their origonality. They don't look bad but a few ricers using cheap APC ones gave them a bad name

Since your car is black, I would either smoke the original tails or buy the TYC tails and paint the trim to match the car.... I had altezzas but then I realized how stupid they looked on my car.

Does anyone have a picture of the TYC tail lights installed on an Accord coupe? I know what they look like, but I need to see what they actually look like installed on the car. I'm visual like that, haha.
