Will our opinions make a difference?

Nonetheless, i like these tails when tinted red, the diamond altezza look doesnt suit the S13, but tinted it looks pretty damn good.Red or Black/DeepGrey and youll be set by me.

I guess you've never seen Bushido's red tinted altezzas... They look great. The key is to tint them with translucent red vinyl, not paint.

But yeah, altezzas painted red do look gross.

anybody know if that wing on the red hatch is a real 180sx wing. it looks really good on that car but ive seen some where it just looks like the wing should be wider and the fins should angle more instead of going almost straight down

I like the red tint more. Here's the difference between altezza with red piant and altezza with translucent red vinyl...

Paint

Vinyl

yeah, I've always wondered why most ppl didn't do that... or use an opaque vinyl overlay with cut-outs for the reverse lights. That's what I'm planning for mine.

Disclaimer: That's Bushido's car and the SuperMade demo-car, not mine. I do have some ebay altezza's laying around, but I have yet to tint them or install them.

Ehhh... yeah. They kinda do, but ppl are gonna buy them anyways. Might as well make them look as good as you can. Regarding their suckiness, word is that the ebay altezza aren't sealed very well and they may fog over or leak. Bushido recommended re-sealing them just in case.
BUSHIDO wrote:those led tails are produced by Junyan and Hippo sleek is one of the distributors that sell them as their own product, Junyan is the Taiwanese company that produces most altezza style lights...

if you decide to go with them, my advice to you would be to use an oem kouki 180sx center light/lock/key and apply some transparent red oracal vinyl to the outside to get rid of the cheezy clear/smoked look. also use some aquarium silicone to seal them up as they aren't sealed from the factory very well. Don't forget the butyl either.
