Ok, I have pulled alot of strings these past few weeks and I have conviced some people at Alteeza to make to lights for a 3rd gen accord, they call it a 1st gen, the only catch is they need at least 50 - 100 people to say they would buy them.. please post yes or no on the poll.

10-10-2002, 12:55 PM

I would but I doubt you will be able to get that many people to.

socal3rdgen

10-10-2002, 12:57 PM

well i agree with jteuton but count me in

Thorny88Lx

10-10-2002, 01:17 PM

Hell I have 3 3gs so Ill buy 3 of the 50 - 100

socal3rdgen

10-10-2002, 03:20 PM

keep a toll on who says they would be in. If you manage to get 50 or maybe even 40. you could contact the makers and get this goin. keep a list of names.

dude... you need to find out how much they are going to cost... some altessas are very expensive...

10-10-2002, 05:46 PM

Dude, Altezzas................1st Gen, do you know what they look like??? If you did you wouldn't buy them, the 1st Gen are the ugly ones. the all crome with the pos looking lights. Only Altezza that would look good on our car would be either a Next Generation or Eurotec's.

Neuspeed87lx

10-10-2002, 05:47 PM

it would still be cool to see some aftermarket tails for the 3g

Nate, Toyota designed the Toyota Altezza IS-300 with the Altezza Tail Lights, after that some people made a company called Altezza and started making tail lights for different cars, APC copied them but used shitty material which breaks easily. if you want aftermarket tails, do clears or semi clears.

heres an idea why dont you make a company and manufacture those hjalf clear and half red tails you did. and maske some money.

:deal: :wave:

by the way whos red car is that in your sig, its sweet.

10-10-2002, 10:41 PM

I couldn't make a buisness just for the Half Clear Tail Lights. Once I get a good paying job, I'm gonna start saving up to open an Auto Detailing and Customizing shop tho. And those tail lights will be part of it. And BTW, thats nobody's car. I didn't wanna tell you guys but it would be dishonest if I didn't. Its that Green SEi thats on Ebay. I photoshoped the Wheels, the Paint Job, the Drop. I'm learning how to photoshop and that was my first. I want to design a car for me so that I have an Idea of what I want.

87AccordBoy

10-11-2002, 03:56 AM

it would be hot to see anytype of aftermarket tail on our 3rd generation accords and those half red and half white shits is hot shits is off the hook anyways i have to agree with socal3rdgen that red accord is off the hook.....

chronicsinners

10-11-2002, 04:27 AM

Fuck altezzas, enough said, spend that 200$ on your engine or suspension. they are gay.

HostileJava

10-11-2002, 04:50 AM

I've seen pictures somewhere on here of altezza's photoshopped onto our cars and didn't like the results. I don't think they fit with the rest of our squared off body. Besides I think my hatch lights look really cool and the only thing cooler would be blacked out or all white with one small red spot.

James

10-11-2002, 05:36 AM

Only tail light change I see on my car is changing the Amber part to white.. Thats all.. Altezzas don't work with this older car.

bobafett

10-11-2002, 05:58 AM

hatch lights actually look pretty good as is, but i agree, blacked out with just a reflector would look nice.

if i ever get around to it i will do tails like a20a1 for the hatch! should be a lot easier than with the sedan/coupe style!

ha ha i was jokin. :lol. anyways thats a good job photoshoping i wondered what red would look like and its badass. I'm surprised i was the first one to ask

2Fast_Fiero

10-11-2002, 08:23 AM

In real life it would be Metalic Red. Photoshop is a good program to check what your car would look like after this and this.

Nate2310

10-11-2002, 10:10 AM

Hell yea I would buy the lights, those euro lights are tite as hell!

carlessNcareless

10-11-2002, 10:16 AM

um,....i think i could make the inner parts of our tails into euros, with me and my trusty dremel tool aythings possible, maybe if i get a hold of an extra inner peice ill try it out, i alread got most of the supplies and ive had plans in my head since 4-ever

2Fast_Fiero

10-11-2002, 10:31 AM

I have all the tools and the Idea and plans of that, but I said screw it, they are altezzas. I like the Semi Clears better.

Thorny88Lx

10-11-2002, 10:35 AM

Alteeza considers the 94-95 accord a 3rd gen, our 3gs are 1st gens to them... Shows how much they know!

staticpat

10-11-2002, 11:24 AM

this is what seperates the ricers from the others. in my opinion theres 2 ways to do up your car

rice it out ie. fast/furious(huge spoilers, stickers, graphics etc.)

or trick it out ie. oldschool and pearldrop

RobT5580

10-11-2002, 12:00 PM

I would like other options (red/clear) for me but the cost of them i can almost guarantee them to be high. At least the coupes because it requires the entire bezel to be made as well. They would be a lot harder to make than ones that already exist plus the demand is a lot lower so why would they bother to make them. Eventually i may experiment on a set.

Midnight

10-11-2002, 12:23 PM

i want clear lights and i dont think the got them

10-11-2002, 03:08 PM

Thorny88Lx said that his car had 775Hp in some thread, I wouldnt trust this guy....:flip:

Coroncho80

10-11-2002, 06:29 PM

I would pay the price if they can make the carbon fiber altezza lights. I don't like that clear shit because my car is black and it would not look good. Carbor fiber all the way! count me in if you can get those.

jlaccord89lxi

10-11-2002, 07:16 PM

ok everybody, WOAH....were talking about 4 different sets of tails: 86-87 sedan, 88-89 sedan, coupes & hatch's. We'd be lucky to get some company to make altezza's for the 2 different style sedans only, let alone the rest of us with coupes & hatch's....no manufacturer is willing to do that for a car that is so old....and even further beyond that, there's no way any company would make gen 1, 2, & 3 altezzas to fit everyone's individual like's & tastes. I agree with whoever said that altezzas are mostly for civic's and tegra's.....that's why they make them for those cars. Not that i wouldn't buy them for my coupe, if they were readily available, but i plan on painting them red, until i can find the time and extra tails to make them semi-clear on my own. CUSTOM ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Coroncho80

10-11-2002, 07:18 PM

Nice, nice, nice speach! but fuck it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT SOME CARBON FIBER TAIL LIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

JSid7

10-11-2002, 11:09 PM

JSid7

10-11-2002, 11:15 PM

well i want CARBON FIBER if possible!!!

2Fast_Fiero

10-11-2002, 11:20 PM

I'm making Semi Clears for a few people. I'll post it again, the more people that want semi clears, the cheaper it will be. CAuse half the supplies I can use over and over again for a few times.

Coroncho80

10-12-2002, 11:34 AM

Semi-clear would do it for me. Are those the ones like the civics? the top clear and the bottom red or vice-versa.

10-12-2002, 01:48 PM

too bad euro taillights are overplayed... they were tight like 2 years ago but now i see them on astrovans, neons, escorts, and the like.... id hate to see a 3gee with euros.. id just get pissed

2Fast_Fiero

10-12-2002, 02:11 PM

Thats what I'm talking about. They are over played. I wish they would have stayed only on stock cars. The Nissan Maxima, Altima, Toyota Altezza, those cars should be the only ones with that sort of light. Even tho the Nissan Maxima and Altima's tail lights aren't altezza's. How many Jaguar style Altezzas do you see? Barly any. How many Next Generation or Eurotec altezzas do you see? barly any. How many 1st Gen Altezzas (Crome/Carbon Fiber) do you see these days? Every single friggin car on earth practicly has them. My mom keeps complementing people that has altezza's. She went up to this guy I know with an Imported EK9 Civic Type R who became a dumb shit and put the 1st Gen Altezzas on that Hatchback and she went up to complement him on his tail lights. I'm like mom thats an EK9 Civic, TYPE R!!! She's like it is? he has nice tail lights. I told her he's a fucking Ricer and she got confused. GRRRRRRR I'm gonna become like my friend in New Jersey and help try to put APC out of buisness. The thing I liked about that green Eclipse on The Fast And The Furious was he had JDM Tail Lights. We need to see more of the JDM Tail Lights. Look at my sig, JDM Tail Lights of a 3rd Gen Honda Accord converted to Semi Clears. JDM Spec is allways nicer. That guy with the EK9 Civic should have left his tail lights alone, I'm sure he has his tail lights in the garage or something and doesn't realize they are JDM. KILL THE ALTEZZAS!!!!! KILL THE ALTEZZAS!!!!!

Funny thing about the altezza light is that the style origionally came out on the Lexus suv about 3 years before the Altezza was released. Just like M3 mirrors Toyota made teh style first on the corolla in the late 80's and the celicas in the early 90's but any one that has a mirror like it considers it an M3 mirror.

Mike's89AccordLX

10-12-2002, 11:45 PM

I like the clears myself.

Accordianted

10-13-2002, 01:34 AM

Actually, see if they can make the Altezza lights, but elt's develop a style that fits the car. If it's done right, maybe the Altezza style will work......no rounded lights....make them more square to make the car.....and have different interior colors.....maybe even available for color-matching to the vehicles' color?

Y3G

10-14-2002, 01:04 PM

Altezza's would be cool
but for every good looking altezza there are realy pug fugly
looken' ones too. I'll take my taillights all clear thank you!
:3some:

10-15-2002, 11:24 AM

I would buy them, but I cant vote on the poll - How muchj are they

wickedaccord

10-15-2002, 04:45 PM

if u guys can get the red and clear. i mean original red and clear and not half painted with transparent paint. i WILL buy it DEFINATELY. honestly, screw altezza. but that's my opinion. here's an example

http://www.angelfire.com/extreme2/legends/6_projects_.html

jus look at the red and clear. see how it has a red trim on the signal lights. that is exactly wat i want. like said.. if one of u guys can get a company to make it. ill be the first to make an order.. late

10-17-2002, 02:08 AM

i'm in on the altezza's, every car i've seen w/ them looks better than stock. but it would be nice to see a pic

Gregs89AccordLxi

10-17-2002, 10:55 PM

I personally like the clear/red tails the best (maybe you can get them to make some :super: ) but hey i would be intrested in the altezza's if i can see a pic or maybe a photo shopped pic of how they would look!

jlaccord89lxi

10-18-2002, 06:42 PM

i can't decide whether i like ours as semi-clears with clear top/red bottom or red top/clear bottom

Nate2310

10-21-2002, 07:23 PM

Hey, I really like those alteeza tail lights. Those are the only thing that I really want for my car but I can't get, they look really cool and like em in the chrom housing, I like all clears also but i'm too lazy to try and make them and I don't want to ruin my tails trying.

So if you could get this to go throught that would be really awesome.

Would they be like around $150-$200?????????

and how many more people do you need?

Slammin88accord

10-23-2002, 05:39 PM

I'd buy those fly ass Euros in a second, if the price was right, and if the look wasn't uglier than the poor man's Accord (Civic) that I saw in the junkyard a while back

Nate2310

10-27-2002, 05:09 PM

How many more votes do you need for this deal to go through? I really want some!

SQ is the SQUAD

10-30-2002, 01:20 PM

i dont know it this was stated cuz i am not gonna waste my time reading the thread but does it matter if the car is a coupe/hatch or sedan, or do you have to get 50 of each make?

Sorry guys, but we dont have enough people that say that they would purchase them. They dont know how much they cost because they have not yet designed them yet. Sorry Guys

11-04-2002, 04:20 PM

Jerren

11-05-2002, 05:26 PM

no i'm not gay but altezzas are. but yah like the guy said, good job on trying to get them made for us.

Whitehonda

11-06-2002, 04:09 PM

I am with all they people saying that the altezzas are homosexual...however, I think hte Red/Clear would look sweet. I can't figure why they make those for the 4th gen and not the 3rd. Pisses me off

3rdGenMartyr

11-07-2002, 01:09 AM

id be in if they dont look to horrendous, ther's nothing worse than following someone with ugly ass tail lights, plus they would have to be bad ass for me to fork out $200+ for a set of tails

i think they have skipped our year in altezzas because the whole rear panel of the deck lid is one big piece, and it would be "Super thanks for asking.." gay to do just the corner tails and not replace all the reflectors in the deck lid too...... did anybody get that and with that much too replace it would cost upward of $200 probably closer to $300 because they're not mass produced like ones for a trendy ass Civic
