I would agree with less than those tails look ten times better than any apc crap.

They look ok. I still wouldn't buy them though. The stock tail lights look fine. Who makes them and how much do they cost? Just curious if they're ungodly expensive like the kouki's.

Blah. big deal. They look fine to me. some people are waaay too afraid of "rice" not all altezzas are bad. those look more like they are mimicing the altima tail lights than an altezza anyway.

Yeah they dont look that bad, we're just not used to it. The 2002+ Altima has the same style taillights and i've grown to appreciate them.

However those APC taillights can look pretty damn gross cuz theyre too complex and tacky. Also have to consider the car style, etc. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt.

IMHO, i think these "altezza-style" taillights should use a dark chrome or darker shade for the housing because chrome is just a bit blingy for my tastes. The new RX330's tails have too much chrome and not enough color for example. Nevertheless, these taillights are definitely a trend that probably suggests luxury.

This is it, now I can complete my dream car. I'm gonna pull off my Apexi N1 exhuast and put a big cannon muffler on, pull my off my Milla Miglia wheel and get me some steel wheels with shine chrome hub caps, I'm gonna put the biggest spoiler anyone has ever seen, even though I lowered my car pulling the springs out I'll still have to watch low crossings cause my spoiler will be that big, and now I can get the greatest tail lights ever made, and to complete the process I will stick a sticker on every square inch of my car, Even if I don't have a part from the company I'm gonna have a sticker. You will all bow to me the mighty mighty 240 god!!! Don't be jeoulous its pathetic.:ylsuper

Silvia look at it this way. At least its a respectably company making good quality lights for an awesome car. They're not altezzas as we've come to know them.

S13 "altezzas" - doesn't work with the body at all, clearcorners alternatives and JDM alternatices are much better

S14 "altezzas" - doesn't work the best, but the curvy lines are better for it than S13 If someone came out with some plain altezzas that were sharp and not too busy (plus quality and not shorting out is a plus) I wouldn't die with horror

S15 "altezzas" - the body is 'perfect' and modern. The altezzas coincide slightly with the front headlights too.

yeah maybe if they were black. i don tknow im not a big fan of them. they are leaning more towards the altima/maxima looking tailights not apc shiot. eh. i would stick with the stock s15 lights, if i had one that is. lets see what happens.
