In my honest opinion....

the altezzas for 4Gs just do not look good at all. They really stick out like a sore thumb. There are different alternatives so check this out.






You can clear them out and it gives it quite a unique look.

It's your car do what you want, but IMHO, Altezzas suck ass.

You can clear out the turn signals like Andy did, and I saw a thread a couple weeks ago of someone who used this special polish to actually brighten the red on their tailights, it looks spectacular. Run a search.

If your car happens to be black, then CF altezza's might not look too bad. But I'd still pick cleared stock lights over them.

I like my chrome ones, because i do not like the look of the 4th's stock tails. IMO make the car look cheap. and they match my clear lights all around.

Those Alt's look good on that car but I think going with the masked is a very good idea indeed!

I also do like the cleared out ones. I think I'll have to do that while my car is in the shop. I'm dropping my Altz's, they stick out to much and I'm really diggin the cleared ones!

Cleared stocks look the best.

Mine is black. First i had CF altezzas... not bad... then i wanted a black/grey theme, so i went clear... but they were too bold. so i put covers over the clear, and had them painted the same black as my car.
