There are some vehicles they look great on, and others that the look goofy on. I guess it's all a matter of your opinion, but I think that on 4Runners they look like ass.

Just my $.02

Well, considering I dont own a 4 runner, has anyone seen them on a tacoma, I know they dont look great on everything, thats why I asked.

Oops, I misread. I need to reply to one post at a time.

Don't get altezzas, they look like ass on Tacomas. Instead, get clear lenses, with colored bulbs.

I dont like the chrome/clear ones but If I did get them it would be either the black or Carbon Fiber ones which I think would look decent on my dark truck.

The first couple of vehicles I saw I liked. Now you seem to see them all over the place on all kinds of vehicles. I guess the novelty wore off for me. I start to dislike that look altogether. I like the smoked head and taillights for the V-dubs.

Still not big on the Altezzas but I agree with the dark/carbon ones are the lesser of the evils.

Another vote for no altezzas, but it's your truck, and if you like them, go for it.

I had the clear lenses with colored bulbs until about a month ago. Like you guys said, they lost their novelty. Now I'm back to stock tails and I love them. I was always worried about people not being able to see my brake lights. Plus they looked pink when I braked at night. :pat: :wtf: lol

Clear Altezzas are sooooooo 1999!
Hyuk.
Seriously though, I was never fond of them. If you replaced the clear part with red, then we'd be getting somewhere.

By "black" do you mean the carbon fiber ones, those are the only ones I see on ebay right now.
