new tails, not Altezza or TYC

RyanBeemer · 04-07-2006, 03:50 PM

I got these a couple of days ago. I wanted to try a style besides the Altezza and TYC, because everyone gets them. Now I know some of you might say they look like crap, but it's my car. Just thought I post a couple of pictures and let you see them. Not much is done to the car. Tint and chrome fender lining done by previous owner, I do like them both (chrome fender lining for now). I have added the badge overlays, grill and these tails. Plan on new rims/exhaust and speaker upgrade, just short on cash. It's a 2003 with 45000 km on it now and I still have 3 months of manufacture warranty.

there ya go.... the ugliest tails made for the ga... other than the tails, clean ride

Ajaxus · 04-07-2006, 03:58 PM

yep, course they might not look that bad if you cracked them open and either did some painting or some other minor mods to them.

RyanBeemer · 04-07-2006, 04:44 PM

well some one has to have the worst lights, I guess I can be number one for that.

I don't know If I want to take them apart, I will most likley brake something.

I LIKE YOUR TAILLIGHTS! I have the same ones...thought they were pretty cool...until now...*sobs*

One thing that I did that makes them stand out a lot, change the clear reverse bulbs to blue ones that you can get at Advance. They are really bright and look great.

nightingale · 04-07-2006, 05:25 PM

I like them. Just get rid of the fender lining.

Torrentman · 04-07-2006, 09:39 PM

really nice, i have them too, good choice

Rba007 · 04-07-2006, 10:26 PM

Those ARENT altezza's? Altezzas are a 'style' correct or am i way out of touch...

Phuxed · 04-07-2006, 10:51 PM

I thought they were Altezza too, but that's probably just me being retarded. I think they're even tagged on my cardomain page as "Altezza"

So if someone could clear this up by telling us what Altezza's are, that'd be great! =D

Ajaxus · 04-07-2006, 11:14 PM

just checked, those are altezza's. altezza's come in chrome, gunmetal, black, and cf.

Man I swear, by the time I get around to my appearance mods I'm gonna have to find completely new and different parts cuz everytime I turn around someone else gets the parts I wanted! Course if I won the lottery it'd be a different story...

silvergtjrad · 04-08-2006, 12:35 AM

altezza is a toyota car in japan, which is the lexus is300 here. Its got the clear tail lights stock that are now seen on every other car on the road

DrFabulous · 04-08-2006, 03:26 AM

Props on wanting to mod. I don't understand people's desire for new tails on the GA. The stockers look fantastic.

I'd insert the normal "clean ride" comment here, but I don't think so this time. I don't understand how one could clean the entire car, yet leave the exhaust tips out to rust away.....

i was wondering the same thing.

the tails are okay but definitely the Altezza style. i like the tycs much better, IMO

RyanBeemer · 04-08-2006, 08:58 AM

Well for me to get new exhaust it would cost $1100 without installation, I want to do it, but I can't afford it right now.

blake · 04-08-2006, 01:02 PM

why would it cost you that much?

tips alone are like cheap as $20

blake · 04-08-2006, 01:03 PM

also, you didnt blur out your liscense plate number in the 1st picture

The only way to get new and different parts is to either get them custom made by a professional or modify something on your own. A few of us have done this, it takes more time and money but the outcome is nice.

Which reminds me, I gotta stop being lazy.

Whoever told you that is insane. You can get cat-back exhaust installed, with stainless tips, at ANY halfway decent muffler shop for around <$500. Or, just have them replace the muffler/tips for around $200, or just tips for like $100.

Buy SLP for like $450 or whatever it is and install it yourself.

EDIT: I'm talking US dollars here, you're talking funny money, aren't you..... hmf.

RyanBeemer · 04-08-2006, 06:20 PM

Well I live in canada, in a small town, so there is a big difference. The only place I can get cat-back is where I work(canadian tire), no other place in town will get it. Not to mention the shop rate is $75 an hour around here, and I wouldn't want to install it myself, I would most likley do something wrong and cause more dammage or something.

And I realise my liscense plate number is in the 1st picture, I uploaded the one I didn't photoshop.
