    special request

    can we ask the altezza warehouse to make some taillights for our cars? Perhaps we could make a letter and sign it or something. I know a cf tailight would look great on our cars... just wondering

    I got incontact 2 times with TYC (makers of aftermarket taillamps)

    All I asked them is to make a Red/Clear set of our regular OEM taillights. This would be fairly simple because ALL they have to do is use clear plastic for the flashers instead of the Orange one.. no research, no measuring, no molds... no nothing... just a special batch with clear plastic.

    Even with that ease of fabrication, the answer was a big NO.

    I might try again this year but I guess it will be the same.

    I still have the original answers somwehere and email at TYC if anyone wants to try.

    is TYC the same maker of the clear corners for our cars? the ones sold on procarparts. i thought someone asked me that before, if mine were made by TYC. i still dont know because i never have to change the bulbs out.

    what is the difference between the 4g accord taillights? cuz i saw a 4g at school with the same taillights as ours (or so i thot) same key position for the trunk, everything, and his were red on the bottom, clear on the top. I didnt get a chance to ask him where he got them, but i think ill try someday...

    4g tail lights aren't the same.. they can be modified to fit but it takes a lot of work!

    i might add that the 4g tail light mod isnt worth it. considering the money you'll spend, might as well get something a little nicer looking that those, if someone was going to do that.

    i hope no company ever makes altezza tails for the 3g..... those tail lights look like shit on every car they are on .... even those stupid suv's that come with them from the factory....imo the only tails that look good on the 3g ... are stock ....all red.... or red/clear ones
