Default new tailights(ebay black altezza style) PICS. EDIT: I re-did them, new pics

my passenger taillight got cracked when i took it apart to tint it from the inside, it was a small crack but it bothered me and it let in a little bit of moisture, so i bought the black altezza style tails off ebay cause they were about $200 cheaper than new oem and about $150 less than used ones on CL. i was surprised on how they look, i actually like them, and i thought were going to look cheesy. On to the pics

We've had a bunch of threads on these and it isn't gonna go well.............

Honestly I think it looks exactly like an integra. (and I am not a fan of integras)

bought the black altezza style tails off ebay cause they were about $200 cheaper than new oem and about $150 less than used ones on CL
and still overpriced IMO.

Obviously if you like them, rock them.

Honestly it isnt that bad, as long as you like it. I would black out the emblems to get it to match though!

btw, next time you go to QSL, bring your old tail lights, i want to see them

Not really diggin them.. but if you like them- then don't worry about what others think. Yea, I think might look pretty cool on a black SC- still a bit ricey IMO though.

I wonder if the SC style looks as good on an Integra.

i think they have potential. . .in another post i pchopped those tails to look similar to supra tails. it can physically be done w/ some vinyl or paint, i think it looks good.

thanks for the response guys, i knew i would be hearing the rice thing but i like them and plan on keeping them, i was thinking about opening them up(but more carefully than my last pair lol) and tinting the whole inside of them but im not to sure yet if thats a good idea.

i also kindof like this idea, i'll definitely give it some thought but im not sure how it would look.
im considering selling my old ones and was wondering before i do, how much is a fair price to ask to sell them(95-96) with the wiring harness included, the passenger one has a small crack that you cant really see, it just lets in moisture if it sits in the rain for a while

Might look better if the colors weren't every other... Maybe if both red were next to each other and white the same, it would look a bit cleaner. If you like them then cool congrats on getting them.
