Black chrome Altezza

does anyone have pics of the black chrome altezza tails? im thinking about getting them but not sure that they will match my white car, but my tint is black mirror so maybe they will.
P.S. please dont flame about altessa tails being rice/tacky/ugly/played out, i like them and thats all i care about

I like how they look but i want to see a pic of them in normal lighting actually installed, not ones in a studio lighting taken for a website.

I agree ... I want something to offset the bright red on my car .. I love how the mazda tail lights look on laser blue, if there was something similar and not cheap looking for our cars that'd be sweet.

yea, why cant they make a actually nice not altezza light for our cars? like with leds or something like that. not a stupid red dot all the time. it seems we always have to make stuff for ourselves.

i dont believe that. i think they could make a few rows of LED's kinda like the g35. i think that woud look good. just not fill up the whole tail light with LED's, just like a rectangle shape

Those are altezzas with the inside plastic (originally clear) painted red I believe.

Actually they are a stock tail cover, with the silver diffuser taken out, place onto an altezza housing.

actually lude_vtec is right. its just a altezza light with the cover painted red. if he used the stock tail light cover, you wouldnt be able to see inside because its not a see-through cover.

but yea, those tail lights actually are pretty nice. i wouldnt mind having a pair of those on my car.

Interesting, I almost always scoff at the whole appearance mod thing, but that looks really nice.

Actually I am right... and ill prove it to you.

The part my thumb is touching was REMOVED! Thus making the tailight see through, or "PAINTED" in ure words.... Anyone who would attempt painting the inside of the altezza would fail, no way you could make it clean. Without looking very hazzy

yeah but 10 years from now G35 groupies will be remarking how nothing cool is made for their cars compared to what's (then) currently available.

I didn't break that tailight... well sorta, haha , I bought the car and the tail was cracked when I bought it, so I replaced them, and I had that one lying around, I used it for my very first time prying open tails, and I cracked it further since it didn't have much structual strength after being cracked already, it just made it worse, I ripped it up to show you the diffuser behind the tail...

As for the 5th gens, I could not say, but it is probable.
