Ok I would really like to get rid of the only thing that might consider this car ricey.. the tail lights.. . Well the stocks have grown on me but I would like to change up the rear end a tad. So I found a pair of black housing tail lights for a good price.

Here is the car with the tail lights I am thinking about purchasing:

"Keep in mind this isnt my car"




I have a completely stock looking rearend with the exception of the toyota and Altezza badges. Also the car is black.

I need all your opinions. Pos/Neg feedback please.

i dont know. i guess they look fine. what color is your car?

i dont mind the fact that ricers copy the altezza lights. especially because when it comes down to it. you are driving a lexus, most likely they arent.

i think you should get the housings painted satin black and the lenses tinted black and the inner lights smoked as well
like these!

Black

It doesn't bother anymore about the ricers who copy us. I want to do something more with the rear end.

wow a picture is worth more than a thousand words hehe, very nice, very nice how much? lol

ughh I love the red in our tail lights. Just cant decide what look I want, but I also have to bring up, isnt it illegal to have your tailights that dark?

Each state has different laws that are enforced. If the laws arent as strict as Cali, then you good to go...LOL

^^^Thats phillzpeed's car. He had chrome, then used tint spray to make it look like it does.

If you're going to do it, go all out and do the murdered look for sure. Super hot.

Yes, I agree, go with the all black look, just make sure the headlights in front are dark to. As for the altezza lights, I think the darker they are, the less ricey they are, Lexus tinted the tailights on darker cars, like my GGP in 2002, and tinted the tailights on all 2003-2005 cars, it just looks much nicer.

Looks like Modellista tails to me. But I could be mistaken.

You can get red overlays and do it for $20 on stock tails. And it will look just like that.
Just my .02 cents. Take pics once its on
