The only good looking altezzas are the ones in the BIN.

Where do I sign up for the war !

AC/DC

[TEaaron]

They look ok on white and black cars I reckon, They suit Au's alright.

[Dezza]

I've never liked them. Stock lights look better.

[EF347]

Outlaw altezzas

[GS608]

give me a set of black tinted taillights anyday, altezza's look poo (insert other word) on BA's i reckon

I saw a brand new typhoon the other day, just drobve out of the yard, someone put altezzas on it. I thought did ford change their lights, they look horrible. I looked at other new ones and with a sigh of releif i realised they hadnt caught the virus.

I've got one worse. I drove past a Cobra (perhaps mockup, but it did have the badges) I slowed down as i approached to get a good look. As I passed by I saw the altezzas.... Why God?....Why :

My opinion on the altezzas is that the car has to be designed with them in mind, hence why only jap cars look even remotely good with them on (imo)

p.s i hate that rice crap!!!

[VSSII]

2 words. Cheap and nasty. I was actually looking at an IS200 but just didn't want to have the back of my car looking like every 20y.o.'s Lancer coupe/commodore/Falcom/cielo etc etc. Even worse are VT owners who fit altezzas that clash with the red reflective boot plastic!

[Conrad]

Love them on B-series, and on EF/EL's that are a light colour. and the clear indicators for XD/XE

[savagE]

I have them on my XE but they aren't clear as those other ones. They just have the clear opaque sort of plastic on the indicator. They look really good, not ricer at all.

[asusdragon]

i got the black ones on my car and my car is dark blue, they look better then the std one coz i have the quad exhaust pipes and the dark colour, though if i didnt have that exhaust and that colour car i doubnt i would have left them on once i brought the car.
so i like them but has to be the right car not just any car

[Nikked]

I just wish that you could get proper LED lights for Falcons, they look awsome at night...Each to their own, after sprint indicators au repeaters, stock taillights looked gay, i dislike orange! have been thinking of painting the brake section red though, or making a custom LED set...

[F6 R-Spec]

: !!!!!!!!!! Im not felling to well, ill be back.

I've seen a couple of these. What are they thinking?

Some cars look ok with altezzas , some bad. Most coomodores and falcons look bad IMO

Oh god my eyes......thats positivly wrong

[Nostalgia]

In my opinion and it is MY OPINION, any car that has clear lights fitted to areas where a factory fitted colored light was fitted, doesn't look right. But i would never criticize anyone for having them. Each to their own and we only modify our rides to please ourselves, not others.

[v8falconsrule]

why oh why do the little people get so upset about other peoples cars on here? i mean really if you don't like altezzas don't buy them.... i honestly would never own a car painted bright barbie doll pink, however i have seen a few cars in similar shades and it looked ok. likewise i'd never build a gt replica... but if others do then good for them..i'm hardly going to start a "war on gt replicas".

and by the way lexus started the whole thing fitting them as standard to 'is200 altezzas'....then everyone copied the idea from there.

Lets mark this day as declaration of war on altezza lights

I'll support your fight against altezza if you'll help me in my campaign against
frangipanis :

out: ban frangipanis

[Mark One]

I'm not allowed to put black altezza's on my black car? Oh wait I already did, and I like them too.

[tankclare]

xbcool- loved the ban frangipanis sticker on your car at the nats..made me laugh!

As for altezza lights..its simple..some cars they suit and some they dont. I dont mind them but some people just need to have a bullet

That's fine. Clear indicators look heaps better than amber. On the other hand red taillights look better than clear. I just wish they made standard style taillights but with clear indicators for EA

Really they look best on the small jap cars that started the trend. All I can say is I'm not getting any for my car but each to their own.

In chrome they look horrible, but in black they look better IMO. The altezza's for pre AU utes look shocking too in chrome- but in black-not to bad.

[Hunter]

I think far cannons are a greater priority than the clear indicators that seem so popular.
