Default Aftermarket taillight question.

I am in need of a new LH tailight. A sport model housing is not cheap on ebay, and I haven't found any used OEM ones either.

I found a pair of Altezza housings...kinda cool looking in a "new school" way. I can buy two for what one imported "sport" housing assembly will cost, and I'm concerned about the color match.
So if anyone is or has used this brand, were you happy with the fit and quality?
Thanks.

I'd appreciate that. I'd like to have a matching pair so I can change my look at whim.

I also bought the Altezzas after doing a bit more forum searching. Plus the gf thought they looked cool.

you said that sport tail lights were expensive, but the tail lights should be the same for non-sport. The only difference in sport is mostly the grille, front bumper, and headlights

Ah...for the record, the taillamp bezels on sport rams are painted body color. Going price for a single sport tail light is around 50 bucks and up, non sports with the "matte black" finish are about half that.
