Why is it that everyone and their mother had those freakin things?Does it make you go faster or something? People seem to think so...Some dumbass 16 year old in his white S10, with good old Altezza taillights, yapping on his cell, while tailgating anyone and everyone, decided that he needed to be an idiot tonight. After reving his engine at me and launching off of two stoplights that I had the 'pleasure' of pulling up next to (on the second one, he dropped back, almost hitting some old lady in her car, just so he could pull up next to me again on the third one). By this point, I'm getting tired of listening to his poorly done exhaust that he probably bought the parts for at Meijer (a midwest grocery store, for all you coastal dwellers, think 'less trashy Walmart'), so I rev'ed it, feathered the clutch, as to save my tires, and by the time I hit 45, the posted speed limit, I had him by 1 1/2 car lengths.This is where it gets great.After I stopped accelerating, he begins to pass me. At about 4 car lengths, he begins to do a little 'victory swerving.' Of course, he didn't notice that he still had his foot on the gas. Much to his undoubtable surprize (and my indescribable glee) there was a cop positioned just down the road, being behind the truck I got to see the whole she-bang of it pulling out and hitting the red and blues. When the S-10 begain to pull off and I passed him, I made sure to slow down to show my histerical laughter.

Not a really impressive kill, but it re-inforces my motto: Don't speed, you retarded idiots.

I used to like them, but now you just see way too many of them. My friend told me when i got my s14: "You should put eurotails on your car, it would be the sh*t" I laughed in his face. I guess he doesn't know what ricer means...................................

Oh man...I didn't know they made those hideous things for 240's. What is the world coming to?

I like the cars that come with altezza style lights from the factory (like the Altima). At first they were cool, but now I hate them with a passion. Im just waiting for APC to start selling "Euro Reflectors" for bicycles...a clear reflecter with a little red dot in the middle.

My stepdad told me "ya know, some of those chrome taillights would look pretty sweet on your car." I was like umm no...remember what I told you about rice a while back?

I do like the coupe taillights from clearcorners.com. The ones that look just like the stock taillight, but its all clear on top instead of half clear half amber.

And the guy selling that S14 brags about how those taillights aren't available and can't be shipped to the US, he had to bring them back from Japan.

They look like he smuggled them back in his ***.

Other than that, it is a fairly nice car. I could never own anything with that much carbon fiber on it though.

, if it was gray or black it would be real nice, but that CF does stand out wayyy to much. And ohh ya, loose the tails too.
