I hereby declare war on altezza!!

XR6 Hulk · 15-01-2008, 03:56 PM

Who here will march with me against those aweful looking altezza lights made for fords and holdens.

Firstly I was silly enough once to actually try one on my car, i had three different lights on it and none of them worked, the standard lights worked perfectly. They are always shonky ebay operators who sell them..

Also I try and look at them from another angle to try and like them but they are but they are just aweful. Its like the song "i didnt like you even when i tried to".

Lets mark this day as declaration of war on altezza lights

Sorry mate, you can fight this one yourself.

You were silly enough to buy them.

Are those walbro fuel pumps any good? people reckon reliability is a problem??

Powdered Toast Man · 15-01-2008, 04:06 PM

Depends on the car. I think the BA ones look horrendous!

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.

xquizd · 15-01-2008, 04:06 PM

Altezza style tail lights look AWESOME!!!

Just not on fords & holdens :Reverend: LOL

I sometimes see a nice ford or holden, nice rims, sits nice, v8, nice colour, sunroof & then they pass me & I see them dam altezza's & cringe

I guess everyones got their own opinion though?

Laminge · 15-01-2008, 04:09 PM

Cannot wait for them to make a set for my 60 dodge....

Casablanca · 15-01-2008, 04:12 PM

Id rather go baaaa than have the altezzas on. I compare a set of altezzas to an ungly chick flashing her boobs. You sort of grit your teeth, wish you hadnt seen them and moan..... (I didnt order the flapjacks)

Hu...............As a matter of fact my Walbro is doing just fine in my 300rwkw XR6T, and the good thing about my car is it doesn't have Altezzas.

sometimes they look tight like when the car is fully decked out with some hot neons or maybe some chromed windscreen wipers but more often than not i am sad to say someone has put them on a car that belongs on the crusher to be recycled into some construction girders i mean its about having the total package and the lights are the icing on the cake and just because you have some checkerplate floormats doesnt mean you get to step up to the big time

Jeeepers · 15-01-2008, 04:17 PM

Even I had them, but this too passed... Some for the thread....

Whatever floats your boat I reckon.

Im not trying to be smart, I wasnt sure. I recently upgraded my T, I asked for a Walbro and they said not to get one, but a Bosch pump in series to the stocker?? They said the Walbro will leave you stranded. I asked the question because it cost be double the walbro and i wasnt sure if it was for nothing

F6T · 15-01-2008, 04:22 PM

They can actually look alright on the right application - has to be the right colour (black,silver,white) otherwise they look terrible on most others.

XR6 Hulk · 15-01-2008, 04:26 PM

I know how they started. Someone put a set of monaro lights on a regular commodore. Then altezza made a cheap copy of these lights and a few commodore owners took the bait.

Then they expanded to AU fords and BA fords.

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.

**Sorted** · 15-01-2008, 04:26 PM

I think my Altezzas will match my 20" rims, you have to keep with the theme........... this is going to be good

Fev · 15-01-2008, 04:45 PM

i have them on my car and i think they look pretty good. i just have to get all the damn scratches off them from my mum backing my car into our letter box.. luckily she didnt hit the paint.. stupid woman!

BigCav · 15-01-2008, 04:48 PM

the only altezza's that look any good are the clear indicators lights for the front and rear of xd and xe's adn the rear's of xf's.

thats it

Jorgo85 · 15-01-2008, 04:49 PM

I dont even know where Napolean Road is, but that does not say much as I dont pay attention to any names of roads as I get around by direction not by maps

And your concerned with people who walk funny LOL

Altezza lights tell more than any "Jink" could

Airmon · 15-01-2008, 04:55 PM

Loved them then hated them :P

I still have my Altezza's in my boot, Unfortunately they are probably less defectable then my current lights. :(
