Custom, Custom taillights... I almost put the flame suit on...but changed my mind. These look damn good.
Stock rear with blackouts...

Then I ordered carbon fiber g3 altezzas...
Yuck...They look great, but look at that clear/white outline around them where they come together and are glued. Looked absolutely stupid on the black car.

Then I masked off parts of them, painted & cleared. I've got some work to do. Im going to go back & wet sand and get em shinier. Whatcha think??

Re: Custom, Custom taillights... i hate the altezzas, but on your car, they actually dont look as bad as i thought.

Re: Custom, Custom taillights... Since you painted most of them black they are now the LEAST ricy set of Altezas ive ever seen.. I think the key was getting the CF so there is very little chrome inside the light.
If I had to have Alteza type lights then yours are what I would choose.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Im still undecided on how the outer casing bubbles out though.. probley just not used to it..
Again, good work and its nice to see innovation <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Re: Custom, Custom taillights... Steve..dont bring your car in my post!!! My car gets jealous easily. <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />
These being carbon fiber, and with the black paint I absolutely love them, They look much better at night than stock.

Re: Custom, Custom taillights... Todd, those are awesome. I have a set of them and had them for about 2 months maybe a lil more but I took them off b/c I HATED the clear part around them. I think I may keep them b/c I am selling them but I still don't know b/c I have a set of EXPORT TAIL LIGHTS on the way! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> But that looks great and was a great idea. I like them. BTW I emailed Jon and told him about the springs but havn't heard anything back, have you?

Re: Custom, Custom taillights... You know, I think I agree! They look pretty good! I think I just stopped searching for the Japanese lights. I'm going to save money, and put these on. What a great idea!

Re: Custom, Custom taillights... Todd, I think they look great painted. Definitely do what you can to make them gloss black. Camaro rears are kinda boring, so those help.
Of course, I like the picture of Christina's *** that JSears has in his avatar even better! lol

Re: Custom, Custom taillights... Todd you got any better pics
that has got to be one of the best Tail light ideas iv seen in a long time for a camaro
i was thinking about geting some altezzas and paiting them Clear red and kind of making New Jag TypeS style tail light.
