any pics of them on the car. Personally i dont think there are any good looking aftermarket tail lights for 4th Gens. But maybe these look decent

Just got them today off ebay, maybe I will get some pics. up this spring when i can get the car home, just got 2 feet of snow here. Taking out the sled today. But you gotta admit, those lights aren't too bad. I think they will look good, give it a distinct look, and its not ricey.

ive seen some that lookedlike that on a red Z28, looked pretty damn sharp, although the red of the car was everly modified(appearance wise) so they didnt really stick out as much as on a stock looking car

I'm not the type that usually likes altezzas, but those were one of the better ones that I've seen. The one complaint I have about them is that the trim around them is chrome. I would much rather prefer a thick black trim, because the color scheme of my vert is red/black only, no chrome on my car. If I had to build a car around these altezzas I'd continue on with the chrome look. (Not that anyone in their right mind would build a car around ANY altezzas )

BTW- don't be discouraged if people use the four-letter word when you ask them about your altezzas

Actually, it is not a chrome trim. It just kinda looks that way because of the position it is in with light reflecting. It really kind of gives off a white look. I was sort of depressed about that but I got used to it. But, I think they are the better looking lights out there.

Nice car, I think I will like the lights, they really give it a bold look, in a good way.

The only "ALTEZZA" style tail lights for the Camaro I've ever really liked are these:

Not the "Oh so common round this, round that, retro stuff". They look more like some of the C4 tail lights Mixed with the euro tail light look. Round & enro but unique..

I do think all of the available styles are "neat" but I'm not sure if I'd buy any for my own car.. (except for the above mentioned link)

Anyone ever try altezza tail lights with a smoke cover to cover up the "rice" but keep the different lighting schemes?

I agree I like those one a lot better. I never was much for the crome look, it's just not me.

That's what I was thinking. Sounds like a good idea to me.
