Ive been thinking about getting the new style. I only like the carbon fiber or smoke though. The chrome/clear ones just seem too out there for me. Dont get me wrong though. To each their own.

I don't really like the look of them on camaros though I have a pair on my wife's VW Bug.
If I wold go with them I'd defiantly go with the smoked once since they aren't that "in your face" kind of look, a specially on the black car

That's super! Do you also have a 6" tach on your dash (to supplement the obviously inadequate stock tach), neon lights under the car, and an exhaust tip that could swallow small children?....

I think the best looking one is the C/F Euroz. They compliment camaroz very good. They dont give you the cheap look that clear ones have that is very popular among Honda Civics in my area. The smoked ones look like downgraded C/F in my opinion. Spend the extra 10$ on the C/F.

Im not a big fan of them, but i say get the smoke ones!!! i think chrome stands out too much, and the CF can look kinda fake.. and to those that were pissin in this post, anything can look good if its done right..

i don't like the way altezzas look.

i want to get some of the euro lights on mine, i just don't want to spend $300 on them though.

Sadly, in the year 2002, this is unacceptable to post. This forum used to be for somewhat functional hoods, wheels that gave better performance, etc etc. Now, it's for brightly colored shiny things and how can I customize my car, but make it look like every other trendy car out there. http://web.camaross.com/bb/frown.gif Newbies don't know appearance questions used to be asked in the tech sections, and there was no disapperance of good taste forum here. Post this question in the tech forums (LT1 moreso) and have a moderator let it be, and watch the fun!!! http://web.camaross.com/bb/biggrin.gif

if you would read the forum a little bit careful you would be able to tell that his post has nothing at all to do about the altezzas.

but to stay on topic for good ol nomad i would have to go w/ carbon fiber

If you do get them i would think about quality because when I posted about the quality of them some people said that they get water in them and get condensation inside
thats what really turned me off on those lights and to the guys with the negative comments he asked you for an opinion i dont think he wants you guys to give him he!! about them

He is stating that he doesn't like the Altezzas, just like he pointed out the other stupid ricer mods he doens't like.

Again, don't ask a question if you don't want to hear some thing you don't like.

Altezza in MY oppinion do not go with a muscle car. They look like ass in Mustangs and Camaros.

Single Wiper Mods are just as bad, they just not go with a muscle car. Oh and empty gauge pod holders are even worse.

I cant believe you people even entertain the idea of putting this crap on your car. Who was the loser that said that grendal's car looked like crap because it was stock? WTF are you thinking? Moron! 95% of the Camaro community have cars that are just as stock looking (or close to it) and think that their car is gorgeous, and you know what, they are right.

Oh yeah...

And I agree with NOMAD...

If your only going to listen to the good opinions, why ask the question?

Why are you guys so touchy about your crappy little cosmetic mods?

Take the good with the bad or shut up.

ALTEZZA + SINGLE WIPER = RICE

put that on a domestic and you get oatmeal.

damn kids shouldnt be allowed have cars if they are going to rice them.

Grendal always has negative comments, do a search for his name under the search engine under appearance. I have seen atleast 10 posts where he SLAMS people and their ideas.

And tip #1, just because you don't like someone's idea, don't call it rice. I mean just because the first tire was put on a domestic, do you slam the import owners? I GUARANTEE ATLEAST one performance mod on your Z28 comes from an import design.

And to answer your question. I have a 94 Z28 Artic White and I put the clear/chrome tail lights from Altezzalighting.com on my ride. Email me for pics. I attend a ton of car shows and 99% of people love my lights but 1% (grendal and nomad probably) said they are ugly.

Guess what people, IMPORT owners also buy from Edelbrock and big suppliers to the muscle car fanatics.

It's all about choice
I rather have a choice to put altezzas on or not(same goes for the skirts, neon's, wings e.t.s.) then being stuck with what I have. This forum is dedicated to make a difference to our rides, so why bash someone who's trying to do so.
Even with all the "riced up" civics - they still turn your head weather you want it or not. I'm not saying they all look good, in fact most of them are far from it, but what counts that the person behind the wheel of it likes it and putting a lot of effort to stand out and be different.
In the end it's your car - it's your dream.

Ive got a better one for you all...

If you dont like flames, hide in the damn closet, because everytime I, or any other of the 95% of Camaro owners see you with your Altezza'a, we will flame you.

Altezza lights are one of THE symbols of the Japanese aftermarket, and to bring them into America, and put it on THE symbol of American muscle is THE MOST FLAME WORTHY TOPIC IN THE HISTORY OF THE INTERNET

If you didnt think you would get flamed on a Camaro forum for asking about Altezza's for your Camaro, then you [fill in the blank with something a Moderator would have a problem with]

As long as there are Altezza's there will be flames.

Count on it.

**Stands and applauds** I totally agree with what you are saying. I don't like Altezzas either (especially on Camaros/Mustangs)

That being said, I'll throw my opinion in. If you're going to get them, get the smoke or carbon fiber (whichever looks darker)

Do you honestly think you made a single valid point?

Your kidding me right.

How old are you?

how bout this, if you don't like what the topic is about, don't come in and bash on a little simple mod someone wants to do to their car. or simply say i don't think personally that would look good on your camaro, put your money on something worth while.

LOL! you know whats funny that all of you are getting so MAD over some tail lights
a kid wants to put on his car and the way it's looking he really doesn't want em since the quality of them is poor http://web.camaross.com/bb/biggrin.gif

I have a little time on my hands, so I am going to pick apart this winner of a post http://web.camaross.com/bb/smile.gif

"oh so u think stock camaros stick out more than non-stock ones"

Since when did I say anything about sticking out. Hell there are thousands of big Z71's around here with huge mud grips going down the road that stand out more than anything, but they dont look better.

In fact, you were so in a hurry to bash me that you failed to even look for the meaning of that post. Ill put it down to a level that you can understand.

You plainly stated that grendal's car looked like crap because it was stock. The point I was making is that by saying that, you flamed a vast majority of the Camaro community. In other words, you are outnumbered beyond your wildest dreams.

Make sence? read it again. Maybe you will see that that is exactly what I stated in that post (with a little flaming added).

"and dont even start with this crap that were just mad that our ride isnt fast enough...u r just ignorant your camaro will get smoked by my crotch rocket easily"

This is just plain ignorant. (not name calling- stating a fact)

Notice the smiley. It was a way to end my post showing that there werent any hard feelings. The comment about the bike shows that you arent much past grade school. its a fact that there will always be someone faster than you. Again, my point was not to bring the speed aspect into it, because lets face it, your not concerned in it.

"i HATE people like u all u do is come into posts and bash others"

This is actually the first time I have seen it fit to flame anyone. And for the most part, I made perfectly valid points. There was some opinion in there as well as some animosity.

Again, I have a better one for you.

i HATE people like u all u do is come into posts and ask opinions and then get mad when people dont tell you what you want to hear.

"its ignorant people like you that are disgraces to camaro owners"

*trying not to laugh*You didnt really think this one thru did you?

I dont think I need to say much more...
Ill see how you reply, I might have to explain this one too.

"no one said anythin about stock camaros sucking or anything they just dont stick out as much as some others"

Uhhhhh, lets quote YOU for a sec...

"oh by the way grandal your 95 looks like A$$ ... just look at his stock car"

Hummm, do I have to explain this one to you?


Here is something constructive for your post.

I dont like Altezza's. Whether it be smoked, clear, carbon fiber, it really doesnt matter. Thats my opinion.

He asked for opinions then got mad when he didn't hear what he wanted, just like with his stupid wiper mod.

I'm actually 22, living in a condo/apartment, and there is no way I would even think about selling my car after what i've got invested in it....

I'm sure his parents bought his car for him, he is a ricer wanna be teenager, and he lives at home.
Just like he doen't appreciate clean stock camaros, I don't appreciate his euro/japanese ****.

#1. Considering some of this boards replies, I think we can safely say this dude will prolly not ask any opinions of anyone on here again...

#2. Stikshift, it's possible that you are being a lil overly sensitive here, (u really opened yourself up for these comments with an open ended question like that). Maybe a better way to phrase it would have been:

Do you like them, if so why ?
Do you hate them if so why ?

Then you MIGHT have gotten some intelligent answers other than the typical "RICER" flames that are gettin SO ****ing old..

In other words, I personally think the NEW style Altezza's look OK on silver or white cars, and I think the Carbon Fiber or smoked look ok on BLACK or BLUE cars. Do I think it's worth the $ to do altezza's on a F-Body ? No..

To give u a visual example of a altezza setup that I think compliments the car....

The problem with this thread is common:

1. People come on here needing reassurance, someone to wipe their tushies.

Dude, if you want the lights, get them. If you want opinions, expect negative and positive replys. If you want someone to hold your hand, move back in with mommy.

P.s. Altezzas look terrible on ANY car. I've never seen a set I like. They always break up the flow of the car, even on ugly cars!

The only thing Altezzas look good on is the IS 300, and that is only because they come from the factory.

Those Altezzas look horrific. They belong on a Neon or Civic.

i traded my camaro in, it was blue with white stripes and fill-in. and it was beatiful, i never considered putting them on and a teenager bought the camaro, put a set on and i think they look great, the car looks really clean and it gets a lot of attenion.

I'm not here to argue, just give my .02 http://web.camaross.com/bb/wink.gif

I'm sure alot of people will go one way or another, but I'm like 50/50. In a way they remind me of a civic or neon, but in another they make the car look so much cleaner and unique... but now a days everyone's got them! I mean my neighbor has a set on his escort!

If I were to get a pair of altezzas I would buy the clears and match the back color of the lights with my car's color (black) and maybe put a bowtie or some other camaro emblem in red on them...

I like them, but then I don't. I'm sure alot can agree with me.

i'm with ya all the way ZPaul. They can look so unique and ugly at the same time...as for the exports they look good but are very expensive

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by snksknr94:

so they look okay if a car company puts them on, but if a person puts them on they don't? http://web.camaross.com/bb/confused.gif

curious, what if someone took an IS300 from before the altezzas and put them on themselves, would that not look good then?

Jason

As for my opinion... I don't think I like them on camaros.. But, i'd like to see pictures of them on the car. Anyone have links to smoke (possibly on a black car) or the clears with the body color painted in the "blank" part? Anyway, if you want them, get them. that's the cool thing to me, doing what you want.
Joe

well, i'm not typically one to get caught up in these arguments, and i believe " to each his own," but i thought i'd share a story about a camaro i saw the other day. it was white 96 or older, v6 convertible, super wing spoiler, dual center mounted fart cans, altezzas, and rk sport stickers where z or ss badges go. he comes from behind and flies by me, and then we get side by side at the light. he doesn't look over at me at all, but i'm checking out his car in shock. light turns green, and he chirps the tires and takes off. i jump on it, middle of 2nd i pass him and pull in front of him and shut down. he comes around side of me and gives me the finger. it ruined my whole day. its not just the style anymore, now i have to deal with f-body owners with the attitude too. 140 hp cars with big spoilers and buzzing exhaust just arent cool, IMO. i dont like the chrome altezzas, they look like silver painted plastic...the others are okay.

</font>

The IS300 has had those taillights since it was released in the U.S. The Japanese version of the car (the Toyota Altezza) was designed by the European styling firm Altezza and has always had the same style of taillight, so there is no IS300 with any other style of taillight.

I agree that the look good on the IS300, but Euro Tails rarely look good on anything else.

to put it plain and simply most ricers cant afford to mod their engine, plus they put car LOOKS over car PERFORMANCE. most ricers are teens.. teens dont have alot of $$ to dish out so ricing out, pimping out, whatever you wanna call it, is the main thing on their mind once they get a car.. even if it's domestic.

of course they're going to get flamed by the domestic community.. they know it too and dont really give a ****.. the only thing they care bout is looking cool and having their teens friends admire the looks of the car.

i think putting cf/smoked altezzas on a car is a pretty sweet idea, espically if it's black. the chrome ones arent bad ONLY if it's on the right color car.

Wow, the childishness of this board never gets old. Here is my opinion, I don't like Altezza's on Camaro's. Its not because they are an import thing, just because I think the design of them is terrible. There are some out there that have a really cool design, but the ones for the Camaro look cheap, like the ones for DSM eclipses. The ones for the new RSX as an example, look awesome, the fit the lines of the car, and the red lenses have a nice design around them. nobody makes a really nice tailight conversion for Camaro's. One day I will get around to making mine, the will be designed to mimic the 1969 Camaro 3 lense tailights.

Well I haven't seen pics of the CF or smoked ones, but definately don't get the clears. Like stated before I think they are too in your face. JMO

2 questions?
Anyone seen any different mods for the tailights besides Altezza?

Anyone know where I can find pics of Altezzas on a Sebring Silver Camaro? preferably the chrome set.

And by the way - I don't think the Altezzas look that bad on certain color Camaros.

I don't think they are ugly, but I don't think they go well with the car.

They seem kinda cheap to me, when I see them I think "pepboys" but then again I feel the same way about rear blackouts and front headlight covers.

I think cheap easy to do exterior mods look just that. They look like cheap easy to do exterior mods http://web.camaross.com/bb/smile.gif

So when I see some dude rolling down the street with Altezza's I think to myself "pep boys" or "walmart boltons"

If you like it then do it, but I personally would save the money for exterior fasion mods that will also benefit performance. Like brake discs, nice new tires. Nice exhaust (if you like wow factor, check out the loudmouth with the quad center aligned tips) and powdercoated subframe connectors ( the BMR ones with low clearance look badass on a car )

Those altezza's stick out to easy

*edit* even the honda guys seem to trash Altezza's. Check out clubsi.com, you think they are harsh here then you ain't seen nothing yet. http://web.camaross.com/bb/smile.gif

Altezza's on an f-body look like poop.
It is far too "import" style.
The same could be said for my spoiler, but I would disagree. The import crown did not invent spoilers. They did, however, invent the "altezza" look.

They look tacky, out of place, cheap and retarded. http://web.camaross.com/bb/smile.gif

As far as alltezza's go, I want to start with saying I am not real impressed with the way they look on most cars. With that said, I will admit that I bought a set for my 94. (carbon fiber--"Cats-Eye" was the name on them, they seemed like good quality) I checked out the look and then put them on E-Bay for a fair price. Now, a lot of people seem to like the stock look, and a lot of people want to turn their F-body into a Honda. Most of that is just personal preference, and based a lot on what they have been around. I myself tend towards a nice, slightly modified (body wise) look just to be a LITTLE different from the rest of the pack. (That's one thing I like about my 94 Camaro, I don't seem to see a whole lot of them around here. I can go a month and only see 4 or 5 others.---Seems like a LOT of Firebirds around though). Anyway, back to the point. I say if you want to turn your car into a Japanese wanna-be, fine, go for it! If you want your car to be a bone-stock, run-of-the-mill, no personality, factory model, cool. Either way it will just make mine look all that much better sitting next to it. (In my opinion, which is the ONLY one that counts as far as MY car goes!!). But seriously, look at it this way. Do you want to be the only Ricer car at the KKK rally?? OR, the only stocker in the "hood"?? Let people run what they want without slamming them. (Even if they DID ask for your opinion) Otherwise, we might just as well bring back the Chevy Chevette, and all drive a white one!!!

M<y advice is stay away from the "Fast and furious" altezzas and go with blackouts on the tailight and headlights and DRL's. Thats the set up I have on my car. Keep the "American Muscle Car Look" and look oh so so so so mean. :D But whatever floats your boat. If you like them get them.

haha yeah. i hope stik98 finally decided not to get them, and who ever said even the cool import owners bash them is 100% correct, i think the whole altezza (or *** lights) is just a stage us young kids go threw, i remember when i first saw fast and the furious i thought the green eclipse would look so much cooler with altezza's...now I think it would look cool as a stock color, no wing, and stock tail lights.....im totally over the whole ricer thing..thank God i got a camaro and not a eclipse, i could have really messed that thing up

(BYW if your going to bash me for hating imports now i dont, i just think if i would have got one as soon as i turned 16 it would have been extremly riced out :cry: )

I don't like the way altezzas look at all.

Get the europeon import tail lights (http://members.aol.com/steven0932/Camaro2.jpg) instead.

well 10,000 years ago when i created this thread i liked the way they looked...now i cant stand them....

the only way they look hal decent is....

silver or white car with chrome altezza
black car carbon fiber/smoke


but i would strongly advise against any of them

first of all bro its ur car do what u want. 2nd i just ordered a set of the carbon fiber g3 ones and i am gonna put a set of black outs over.

Hey, Gotta keep a good line goin though!!!! (Right?)

Personally, I prefer the smoked look. I had my own tail lights done earlier this year and I have had nothing but good compliments. They're red, but they're smoked.

I had them done here: http://www.smokinlights.net

just wondering, what's the point in getting new taillights if you are going to put blackouts on them?:confused:

i think it looks better when all u see is just the 4 circle
