I like them, but since I've painted my chrome grills black, I don't think chrome taillights will really flow, I'd get them if they made them in black though | | | | | 08-25-2008, 12:20 AM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: Rocky Hill, CT Posts: 1,065 |

Definetely different, that's for sure. __________________

They look bad parted like that, but I've seen them on a ti before. They actually aren't that bad. They aren't better than the euro style tail lights, but they are a step from the stock. __________________ Come get a ti-shirt

Well the thing is, Altezza's were very popular here after the millennium down here in Texas(I guess that's where the name "Altezza" came from). You couldn't make a turn without seeing them on a car. So I've grown on them. But if I had a choice, I would rather go with LED's, or even smoked LED's. But they don't make LED tails for ti's, do they? __________________ Come get a ti-shirt

I was always under the impression that its a Japanese thing, since the Lexus IS had them 1st...Plus, in Japan, it was called the Toyota Altezza.
Regardless, they were made popular by retards with $8 fart cans, primer gray, cut springs on their civics, I'm pretty sure.
To each his own though, but if I passed someone on the road with these things on any BMW, I would give a thumbs down... | | | | | 08-25-2008, 08:53 PM | #15 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Austin Posts: 3,059 |
Well I'm not really sure where it really originated. All I know is that it's a common sight here.
But, they became really popular on chevy trucks and other american cars. Every mexican had it on their chevy truck or van (yes, I said van :P). We have a lot of mexicans here in Texas (nothing against them, and no offense intended). __________________ Come get a ti-shirt
