I'm interested in getting some altezza lights. i've seen them for $200-$300 in stores, and as low as $40 on ebay. Are the ones on ebay "knock offs" or of lesser quality. even after the $30 shipping, theyre still over $100 cheaper. thanks for any suggestions!

oh, and i hope this is the right place to post this, this place is like a maze [8D]

 

i say a big N O!

too ricerieshy

 

ALTEZZA equals lame ***... dont waste ur money there gay as hell

 

lol i dont like most of them either, but ive seen some that arent as "ricerish" as most or as flashy(for lack of a better term) that look good

 

go into the group buys area there was some dude trying to get deals on headlights and tail lights if enough of us wanted a pair

 

Ive got these available in black, carbon fiber, or chome (like pictured below). IMO, these are some of the better looking ones out there made by one of the best brands in the industry, TYC.



Depending on the finish you want they are anywhere from 153 to 160 dollars

 

Leave the stock ones....but if you like the altezzas (some people do...even I went through that phase with my old car [8D]), go with NICE ones. And for the love of God PLEASE DONT BUY THEM ON EBAY. I cant even tell you the problems I have had with the "discount versions" Bought the "cheaper" ones TWICE on eBay...both times water in them within a month. The second set had the rubber surround tear away after the first wash! I bought another cheap set, sold the car, and let the other guy deal with it

...now I have an 2004.5 CTD and a whole new outlook on life;

save up and buy the good stuff on the first try
get something with proven reliability
function over appearance....though I still like to look good
tires before lift (get a lift just big enough to fit the tires you want...with adequate clearance of course)
