altezzas? CF altezzas just have a film on plastic dont they? i donno how there would be REAL CF ones out there, but anyways i am not a huge fan of euros but i do like the CF ones a he!! of a lot better. escpecially on a black car.

IMO I think altezzas make the car look cheap. Stock 5gen taillights look nice. Why else do you think civics and tegs get 5gen taillight conversions.

There are no altezzas actually made of carbon fiber. CF altezzas are just a print on the plastic to make it look like CF. Very, very, very cheesy, IMPO.

How do I feel about altezzas? My sig says it all.

I agree, I think they look good as hell on a black car..they sure do look good on mine : )

And stock tails are like assholes....everyones got them : )

i have cf altezzas on my black 2001 lude and i think they look great. Plus everyone has stock tailights around where i live its nice to have something different. I say get what ever you like!!!

azninside · 06-23-2002, 11:51 PM

azninside · 06-23-2002, 11:52 PM

probably not a bad price considering that's including shipping an they're CF....just check an make sure that they don't leak.

I've got em on my silver 5th gen,I think they look good depending on your car color but hell,I cant drive around without seeing them everywhere,thats y i got the cf ones which i've only seen on one other lude,but i'm gonna take em off and just clear out the yellows on my stock

I think that the CF ones look pretty good until you get up close and personal. The workmanship on those lights leaves a bad taste in my mouth. APC SUCKS! Sorry to be negative, guys, but I don't have a ounce worth of good stuff to say about them. Pep Boys told me that the constantly get returns from customers. How come there can't just be black ones, or body color? That fake carbon fiber **** bothers me.....

Damn, the Prelude is just so beautiful, And the IDEA of altezzas is a good one, it's a shame that there are no companies executing production properly for the lude. Hyper makes cool black chrome for Integras, but not for us!

if you want real carbon fiber tails get a mercedes c280 sport.

TranceAZN · 07-06-2002, 01:09 PM

I like the s2000 tails !

As for the prelude, i don't think anyone makes a real cf altezza set. They just change the housing inside to give it that CF look but it's in no way real CF.

Systemix · 08-08-2002, 11:32 AM

In my opinion, the Prelude is Hondas BMW. It oozes class, style, sophistication, and sex. The CF altezza's...........wel, it's like putting a K-mart swim suit on Angelina Jolie.

I used to love the CF look. But then my girl got them for her GSR, and I put one of them on. It was just tacky to me, like one of those things we'l really make fun of in 2010, like mohawks and 'Flock of Seagulls'.

to clear something up....altezza's are ghay...
stocks look so much cleaner and more racy than chezza's.
