I would have to see them installed to give my final opinion, But as of now I don't really like the look of altezzas unless they are stock (i.e the tailights on the Toyota Altezza (aka rebadged Lexus IS. )

Looks kinda neat. I don't know where the turn sig is...looks like the brake light is in the middle now. The round red side reflector is too cheezeball, other wise, I kinda like it.

Should fit. I think all 3rd gen tails are interchangeable. Yeah, get a set and post some pics. They look different.

Oh no, that is all we need is another car model with Altezza's !:pat:

IMO they only look good on cars that came with them from the factory (IS 300, Maxima, Altima)
The Lightning's altezza knockoff lights make the truck look cheap.

WARNING!!!!

I want to warn you guys..don't buy those Altezza Tail's!!...they are having fitment problems. If you want to hear it for yourself..you can call them and ask..they'll tell you. Supposedly they were manufactured and not tested..so it turns out they don't work.

I myself have been waiting for months for altezza tails to come out...and as of 3 months ago they were due now..in August...and some were infact made...but unfortunately this problem arose..

It's definitely got me pissed off..

I flat out hate Altezza-style lights.

Since the Toyota Altezza (Lexus IS300 in this country) started this god aweful trend, do you think it would piss off the ricers if I were to put "normal" tail lights on my IS300? I'd do it just for the satisfaction...

That above is TRUE.
