Dude my car came with those black altezza lights on it. I thought it would look good, but it really does look out of place. Our cars are boxy and have alot of straight lines. Those tails with the round red circles in the tail lights just dont look right. If you need to try em on to see for yourself go for it. But I am telling you that you will NOT like the look once its on there. Like posted b4 go with some smoked tails. Would look good, or tint em yourself.

I got altezas [:'(], but dont like them very much. They came on the car when i bought it, and the guy didnt have the stock ones anymore. So i need to find a stock set, but they look a bit better on a sn95 than a fox, but still dont like em very much.

Thats because altezza lights are for people that are gay. I haven't met one gay person on this forum yet so maybe thats why there not in the pictures.

an easy way to make it stick to those black dots and the defroster is to use a hairdryer on the itnt once you have the tint exactly where you want it on the glass. once its on the glass there aint no turnin back for that strip of tint. make sure it doesnt crease at all but if you have just a tad bit of bubble, the dryer should take that out too. dont hammer on it with the dryer either, hit it with just enough heat for the tint to stick to the dots/defroster. it may need a lil help. also make sure you use the soapy solution that you buy seperate from the kit, drench the tint on both sides do the squigge can move easily. here you go JABES.

Well, If you don't want to spend that much on the tail-lights ($150 ouch!) You could spray tint them! I am about to do that to my girlfriends TC and if done right, it looks very well. Get the spray from summit and Clear Coat spray. If you want to go that route, there are some very detailed instructions online, so you get great results.

PS, love the car in primer...

i say go for it. I've seen 2 foxes in my lifetime with them. An orange one with stripes and weld wheels and it looks beautiful. You need a car to pull it off or else itll look ricey. Try photoshoping them and see how they look on your car first. Head over to the chop shop if you dont know how to do it.
