no way, in my opinion.. but it's your car. do what you like. as long as you yourself like it, who cares?
where many hate, few will love,
But for those who love,
they'll see what it's like to live.

It'd make sense for your car to have chrome lights. Did you remember to use different blinker fluid for the winter season?

Chrome tails where exactly? The trim around the edges?

Personally I like chrome on white/light colored cars, but then again I'm old skool and come from classic "hot rodder" days where chrome still rooled! ;) :up:

I believe he is talking about Altezza Taillights. What else could be a chrome light on our cars?

No way!!!!, stock tails are much nicer then those crappy aftermarket ones that I see everywhere these days......especially on Honda Civics :honda:
If you really want, just buy a pair of 1.5 tails, they are more of a modern look and fit without problems(personally, I still prefer the gen 1 tails myself). There was a guy selling a set on craigslist out here in nyc about a month ago.....If you want, I can get you his email addy.

i happen to think they look good.. theres 5-6 members here that have them and i think they look fine..i happen to have them on right now...and yes.... there will be lot of negative comments but ..theyre just that.. comments. You need to grow a tough skin in these forums.
most PPl cant handle be labeled "ricer or beaner" so they shy away from these tails. i could care less. heres a few pics i found on red cars.:

Wow they look nice on this picture buddy! I searched for the black altezza taillights and they don't sell them on Ebay. I only see chrome and CF for a reasonnable price. The black altezza exist but they sell them for more than 2x the price of the chrome!! My OEm taillights are getting moisture. Maybe I sill just seal them, but I would love the black altezza, they look more nice than chrome for my taste. I want something new on the car!

Im waitting my 1,5 Watts red LED (3157) for the brake.

Depend how different it looks, I will or not buy for the flashers or the altezza. I don't care about what others think, if you love it, that's the only important thing because it's your car.
