I have the Carbon Fiber ones and no one around here has them...they look fine to me, I'm unique and thats all that matters..

And I've seen some 'tezzas on some cars and it looks bunk, and on others it compliments the ride..depends on the styling on u're ride

VeeTec · 11-13-2001, 11:15 PM

Not!

NOSlude · 11-13-2001, 11:19 PM

i say it all depends on the ride as well... i notice our 4th gen ludes look the best with them just cause they look so close to the actual altezza lens... but ona stock lude there horrable but on modded ones they look allright to me

shadowZZ · 11-14-2001, 12:41 AM

Ya it all depends what your style is and like NOSlude said if its a bone stock lude it doesnt reallylok that great

Prelude2War · 11-14-2001, 07:18 AM

every once in a while I'll throw mine on and sport them around for the night but thats not that often

gills · 11-14-2001, 07:43 AM

Like i said and i'll always say, they look cheap as hell! They look chinsy and plasticky and they look like they are made by fisher price or something. When the lights are illuminated, it looks terrible. CHEAP CHEAP BAD QUALITY Carbon fiber or regular, THEY LOOK BAD.

Mark94 · 11-14-2001, 07:52 AM

I still have them on my car, and I quite like them. To me they compliment my red paint better than the stockers so I am sticking with them for now.

I agree that it depends on how hooked up your car is and what color. I think they look ok on the red cars. I'm not a big fan of them. I love the carbon fiber ones on black ludes! The new G3 lights look pretty sweet too...

luder4lyfe · 11-14-2001, 03:55 PM

are the new g3 lights ur talking about the ones that are all red?
APC makes sum new ones that are all red and i think they look pretty good.

VtecLudeR · 11-14-2001, 04:12 PM

just say no to altezzas

stock w/ cleared orange reflector looks nice

the carbon fiber altezzas look ok on the 4g in my opinion

VtecLudeR · 11-14-2001, 04:14 PM

greatones car looks pretty nice w/ the carbon fiber's

i still dont like altezzas though...more played out then my 8 bit nintendo...and i would much rather play my nintendo

Ah man, such a sweet car with altezzas. A shame. They look cheap mark and the rest of your car looks far from that. If i were you, i would take them off and kick them to hell. If you get real IS300 lights and do custom work, then now you're talking because obviously the OEM equipment is light years ahead in terms of looks compared to the crap altezza lights everyone is puttin on their cars. But these companies selling the altezzas can lick my left nut with the quality of how they look and illuminate and what not. NO ONE ELSE SEES HOW FRIGGIN CHEAP THEY LOOK?!? THEY LOOK LIKE SH!!!!!!!!T!!!!!

SLICK96 · 11-14-2001, 09:56 PM

It's all a matter of personal opinion. If the altezzas are cheap, then so is the idea of converting IS 300 lights into your ride. Tons of people are doing it, just like people putting altezzas on your ride. The newer c/f altezzas, as long as they're made by APC, are actually pretty high in quality. A lot of the hard-line JDM-ers on this board don't like them, but a lot of people out in the public at large like the way they look. It's all up to you & what YOU want.

LUDELVR · 11-14-2001, 10:39 PM

I totally agree about the lights matching the style of the car. When I got mine, I started noticing how many ludes actually had them, so I tried to make mine different. Hey some people like it and some don't. I like what I've done with what I have and it looks pretty sweet at night! Hey, I'm happy!

But yah, I've seen some on stock ludes and man, I think they gotta go!

SLICK96 · 11-14-2001, 10:51 PM

That's a dope ride! I like the combo of the altezzas w/ the IS 300 inner lights. How much did that cost (the conversion portion)?

LUDELVR · 11-14-2001, 10:55 PM

Man, u won't believe how much it cost! I think in the end, it cost around...$30 Canadian! Man, it took a huge chunk outta my wallet, but hey, so far so good!

PreludeNYC · 11-15-2001, 12:49 AM

..what i did was clear out my turning signals on my rear tail lamps, i think it looks so dope, honestly i agree with who ever said Altezzas are cheap, they, why waste your money on something that personally in my opinion look ugly... if you want a nice look clear out your rear turning signals on your tail lamps...
just my .02 anyways..
Peace

H23Lude · 11-15-2001, 02:55 AM

sorry but i DONT like them at all...i never have, never will. They make the car look cheezy. But thats just my opinion, I like the nice clean look.

if you like them, get them. If not, then dont... its just as simple as that. Its personally opinion.
