I want on vehicle pics too, they don't look as bad as some I've seen and while exterior mods aren't quite for me, I'd like the see 'em on the car before giving the verdict...

they look fairly good too (the ones with three red's). and they come with led lights? that alone is worth over $300.



that's the pic with two reds, but i think the three reds would look better. i thought about getting these myself, even the one with two reds, and modifying them to take out all the chrome and paint the inside a glossy black. they would take a little work but no one else would have anything like them...

dude no, that looks like crap, and thats a fact, not just my opinion.

sell your car before you ruin it and cause the next owner to fix all the crap you destroyed...

listen to me, and im normally one of the nico welcome commitee. but this is where i draw the line. go kouki style instead.

they might look halfway decent if there was just two red circles, then the center peice was all black with no chromey crap on it. its all downhill from here i guess

Looks fine... you guys have such bs double standards. "Oh it's not JDM, so it's rice"... "Oh it's made in America by some company I've never heard of.. must be crap""You get what you pay for"

The altezzas don't look bad, quit kidding yourselves. Chrome is a little too blingy, but other than that, it gives a nice modern look to the fastback (notice no altezzas for coupes... yet) If the construction of these is pretty solid, I'd take it over the 1700 dollar Clearcorners LED pair. Wonder how they look in the rain

actually im getting koukis because i think they look better on my fastback then the tails i have now. and by the way, altezzas are jdm, thats why theyre called altezzas, they first came on the toyota altezza, in japan. many people see altezzas as rice because ricers put them on their cars. and also just becuase its not jdm doesnt make it crap, most people on here that have a turbo have a garrett turbos, theyre made in california. i dont think i know anyone on here that buys something for jdm purposes, they buy it because it looks good or works good.

Let's keep it that way.

Btw, everybody wants the fastback. Everyone I know who has seen both 240's say they like it more. Just look at Need for speed underground 1 and 2. No love for the coupe.

Isn't it funny to see all the fastbacks get riced, but nothing for the coupe.

eh i got a hatchback because it had 73k miles and was flawless. the coupe i passed up had 160k miles, and was overall not nearly as good condition. given two equal cars, it would be a tough decision. no rice anywhere though would help a lot more, ive seen lights like this for the coupe, i cant remember where though.

Altezza's became ricey because companies like APC made super-blinged-out plastic chrome ones that were peices of crap. And of course everyone bought them.

And yes chrome looks bad, black looks badass. The center garnish looks awful in my opinon.

I take back my previous statment, those look awful as originally thought-I don't give a damn who makes them or where they're from.

And I have a hatchback for the weight distribution.

Don't worry, us coupers get some love too

Those lights for the fastback look bad *** smoked, but regularly look way too chromey. Even on a black car they wouldn't look good, unless the rest of the car was chromed out, and I haven't seen very many (if any at all) 240s pull off the chrome look.
