altezza question? dont beet me up

ok serious question. i need to know from u guys that have had altezzas. is the chrome on plastic or real metal? u should know by the weight. u know plastic chrome like flaslights and other lights have. is it like that or is it on real metal? because im workin on a sweet idea and ill get u guys pics when i get it done ull like it.

More than likely its chrome plating over plastic like model cars have

Altezza's??? YUCK! especially the chrome ones :barf:

:metal: I have the first gen smoked versions, and yes they are plastic. What is your idea? I have an idea of my own, but I am too afraid of ruining a $200 set of lights just to try it.

It is plastic, pics are on my page, they look good, but seal for crud. But to each his own.

it's a plastic
I don't have it on my Z but on my wife's bug and they are realy light weighted. I'm 100% sure their is no metal in them

Off topic, but I looked at your page and noticed you had Wet Okole seat covers...How are they? Feel? Fit? Are they really snug or is there any looseness at all? Move around when you sit on them? And how much were they?

thanks alot guys. i know most people dont like chrome thats why i think this is a good idea. i posted this last week. my friend showed me people painted the chrome in their headlights of their cougars. its just the chrome backround like the altezzas and it looks bad ass. if i pop the clear cover off the altezzas and sand and paint the chrome the color of my car it will look bad ass. cause i know the cougars did. hope it turns out alright and i hope i can find some cheap altezzas to do it to. wish me luck, and it might take a couple months to get my dad to help me hes busy.

Good Luck Nick
Post the pics once youre done

Yep...my Wet Okole are sweet seat covers....but for 500 bucks....kinda expensive, but no more burnt butt on the crappy leather.:D

Oh, and also, just took my Altezza off tonight, got sick of the leaking and the silicone....still leaked. Fogged to hell...glad I kept the stock lights. Back to normal now, but out 200 bucks, will experiment with my Altezza lights now though, sand them, paint them red, seal them...who knows, just sitting in my closet. I will rebuild them...LOL...nothing to loose, even if I break them.:D

holy **** u read my name out of my screen name? good job only like 1 other person has ever done that out of the 2 years ive had it

I thought about doing the same thing. I have the carbon fiber "Look". I had to reseal both of them about a month ago and thought of it when I was doing that. They do reseal great though, no problams since. Post pics if you do this, and check around and see if you can find any that have messed up that people will give you. Thats what I am doing right now!!! If I get it done first I will post.!!!!

im thinkin about buying the 3rd brake light altezza first cause its only like 40-50 bucks. ill ask around too.

this is a pic of a car with paint in the headlights. my dad has a poster with an identical car in it and it looks 10 times better than this pic http://www.jorsm.com/~jpanfil/yellow%202k1%20modena.JPG

http://www.sportcars.co.uk/Sportcarsmain/mypics/3/ this one is a little bit better. this might end up looking like carbon fibor on black cars or chrome on white. but its original and i hope it works
