I personally dont care for the altezzas, but I think what you and Todd have done with them makes them look 100 times better.

BigBlack, what aftermarket rims are you going to put on your car and when?!?!? I think those body kits come alive with 18 inch rims. You?

That's because an uninsured teenager got tboned by me cus he cut me off chasing some girls in a BMW. I've got that to deal with right now.

Also, the budget cuts at the job hit ahrd and I'll have to save a little cash. But once i get the cash, I'll probably go with 18" TT2s <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

About the drop, I dno if i should do it. I already scrape the kit as it is. Maybe an air bag setup or some adjustable ride height shocks.

And thanks for the compliments and the <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" /> 's <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I like the lights because they look good with the crhome CAMARO and Z28 decals and the red bowtie. I will also be working on a custom carbon fiber interior with a custom molded dash and console and a carbon fiber engine bay. Carbon fiber crazy!

They now look worlds better. BUT, they still look out of place. The stock tail lights are much better. There are other mods you can do to make your car different. Whatever makes you happy though. FWIW, you did a nice job painting them.

Better than the last photos, but on a black car, my first pick would be the older style 4th gen tail lights (no amber), followed by the stock tail lights.

I think they look good. They don't look out of place like all the other Altezza/Euro lights. I'd like to do the same thing similar. Do you have any tips/how-to?
