I personally like the looks of the Altezza Style lights on any car...The quality ones such as In Pro and TYC are DOT Compliant and are of OEM Quality...

I dont mind them for the most part. Though they do seem el cheapo when you see a rusted S10 with them and nothing else. Idk, I guess it depends on the car. I bought altezzas and recently painted them black, but left chrome rims around the actual red tail lights. I like it

They looked good when they first came out but they are so over used these days and on so many sh***y cars. If you do something original with them like 19_97 did the I would accept them. The worst part is that car companies are starting to incorporate that stupid chrome plastic into their own taillights now.

There just doesn't seem to be a lot of selection for my model year Accord coupe. I like how the TYCs look on j-mans car, but only because he's missing the middle part. The middle part on those tailslook tribal or something, and we all know the tribal look went out around the same time they removed my beloved beverage, Surge, from the market. Ah the 90's.

Just smoke the originals. That would look the best on black IMO and then maybe the shaved CF trunk to get rid of the center.

I just found out that smoked tail lights are illegal in Florida. I've had too many run-ins with the police to risk it, haha. Is there any kind of tint that doesn't ruin the reflective quality of the tail lights?

if you went with DOT compliant TYC's and just painted the trim that would be legal and still look slick.

never been a fan of the chrome plastic ones, but i really like the grayed out ones.
They look like the stock tailights on newer mazdas, which i also like.
