Altezza Tail Lights

[nstillmatic]

I have a white 4 door 2000 Integra and I'm trying to go for a clean white look with some black here and there. (like black front lip, etc.) I put in projector headlights with black housing, and I think it would look nice and match well if I got tail lights with a black housing as well. The problem is the only tail lights that I can find like this are altezza's.

Is there any way to use altezza lights without being labeled a ricer? The rest of my car will be clean and I intend to have it match fluidly.

I think that if the rest of your car is clean, then the altezza's will only spoil your clean look.

altezza tails only look good in altezza's..if you have altezza's tail on your car and its not an altezza your a (sorry to say) a ricer, and really no way to get around it!...try your local craiglist to find oem tails!! or ebay! good luck dood!

Well I have the OEM tail lights, but I'm looking for something that will flow better with the white/black thing I'm trying to do. I mean, it's not like there is any aftermarket tail lights that AREN'T altezzas so I'm kind of limited in options.

So basically, anything but OEM tail lights is considered to be ricer? Why is necessary to restrict yourself to just one style?

altezzas tails doesnt flow with any other car..other than a TOYOTA ALTEZZA ( or LEXUS IS 300 ) and yes as soon as you put those tails on your car you would be considered a ricer!! have you tried looking into tiniting your OEM tail black?

Because altezza's look like garbage. It really is as simple as that. Have you seen trucks with that style of tail light? Notice how bad it looks? Thats how bad it looks to the rest of us.

If you like them, get them. It doesnt matter what we think, its what you like and what you want to do. We are just able to offer you opinions.

I dont see anything wrong with something like this.

you could always tint for that black/white look

Wouldn't tinting your OEM lights be considered ricer as well?

I always thought ricer was just excessive aesthetic mods that don't actually help performance, like giant spoilers, and what not. But then some people seem to believe that any exterior work that isn't completely OEM or stock is riced out too. I wish there was a more concrete definition.

In my opinion, its kind of asking to get rear ended. Some cars could pull it off but it all depends on your set up.

to answer your question...YES and NO...you're putting a look on your car that belongs in another car!! but tinting your OEM tails would make you sorta a slight more like .000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% ricer...but it flows with our cars ...altezza tails only flow with the Toyota Altezza

Well I've actually had my OEM's tinted for a while, and I've been worried that tinting could be considered ricer so that's why I've been looking for just a different set of tails altogether in order to get that look I wanted.

Here's what the back looks like right now:

What do you guys think? I tried it out knowing I could always take off the tint if I didn't like it, but I've been stuck in the middle about it.

^its up to you guys. You're going to be driving it. If you like it get it.
