man those are bad

edit**not in a good way. if you really want aftermarket tails, go with the 99-00 stock lights style (red and white). of course yours would be white on top and red on the bottom

very clean

teriyakibroccoli has some very nice clean ones. same as those but clear on the bottom. they hardly look aftermarket but at the same time look totally better. i wish someone made tails that didnt look so st upid like altezzas, something NOT-so flashy

i agree that ALtezzas look like @$$ on alot of cars. BUT i think they look great on Dark Carz like my BLack civic

I may end up going Dark or Carbon tails or somthing once i get Gun Metal Buddy CLub rimz


what u guys think? Black civic with 20% tint in rear and 35% in front, and GUn mEtal rimz! what tails would look best? cause i know my TEZaZ will be way to damn flashy by then

the birth of those lights...

somewhere deep in the APC lab...

executive 1: omg our sales of altezza lights are dropping dramaticly.. what are we going to do.. whats teh problem???

executive2: well studies show that altezzas are not "cool" any more so we need a new product

boss: no way we made too many altezzas we have 900 trillion in the warehouse alone...

executive 1: this "jdm" thing is pretty "hot" now... OMG i have an idea.. we can spray paint all our altezzas red call them "jdm" and we will sell tons of them.. i mean lets face it our target sales groups are not the brightest people in the world.. we can pobably even charge twice as much...

all three: WOW yay GREAT idea!!!

the birth of yet another gay trend..

i9 think those all reds would look good on a white or black car but defintily not green or red...

the Si style lights look good on all color civics...

now altezzas.... I MYSELF have altezzas on my black 6th gen coupe and i think they look MUCH better than the stock lights. BUT... Euro tailz DO NOT LOOK GOOD ON GREEN CARS... i know 2 people with 6th gen coupes other than myself, both of their cars are green and both hav tezzas... they look horrible... i just cannot see why they would want tezzas on a green car... but wutevr... the Si tails look good on green...

-my 2 cents-

they look just as cheezy as all the rest... 92-95'rs are s.o.l. when it comes to good looking tails... stick stock or look like a schmuck.

i once saw a guy that had a black civic that took his stock (with the orange in it) tails to a tint shop and got them smoked... it looked good.

you can spray on "smoke" to your tails...

A. it's illegal
B. i don't like how it looks... just personal opinion though..

Saw some dude in a red hatch the other day with blacked out tails... I didn't like it...

I like the STOCK 99-00 si tails and thats it... all the other ones just look ill poopy imo.

oh and more on topic...

You do realize your reverse lights are red now right?

and you also realize those ARE euro tails that have been painted red right?


OHHHHH and red is just about the hardest color to get to not fade with exposure to the sun... those will probobly be pink in a matter of months.

I thought that they were not on ALL the models... I don't know though... either way I like those.

and as far as the red/clears for 92-95's they look ok but the red doesn't look deep enough at ALL and the clear parts always have either reflected red in them or streaked red over-spray...

I've looked at them plenty... and the ones I've seen that are over a year old have ALL faded... so I'm not gunna buy them as long as
A. I don't like how the look new
B. they get worse with age
