Altezza lights
Honestly, there's not enough demand. If you went through this site, maybe you'd find some people, but you have to keep in mind that Acura's demographics for this car are for people in their mid 30's and up with high incomes. People like that would never ever consider putting lights like the Altezza on this car. Plus, I think they would look kind of ugly. I'd have to see it to judge, but in my head, it's not a pretty picture.....

I really don't think that altezza lights would be a good thing for our cars. It kinda cheapens the car...IMO. If you are really interested in these lights, maybe you should check out this link...this was a thread in superhonda.org.

Lots of people on another forum have been emailing companies repeatedly asking for altezza style lights but no luck yet. I dont think they would look that great either but you never know. Can anyone photoshop them for us?

The ass is ugly. I like everything about the design, except the back. It becomes mearly tolerable with the spoiler.

Actually, you'll find that most people who used to or still own the 1st Gen CL like the back. Me personally, I love it. It takes a little getting used to, but it's unique and actually looks pretty sharp. To each their own though......

Sorry about that, you dont have to hate it 
...
Juniorbean is right, I have gotten used to it, and I like it a little better now. But it is definitely still wierd. Especially, when the other two cars in your driveway are both integras.
But like I said, I love the rest of the car (if I had only gotten the black interior, just my personal choice, but they dont give you a choice when you buy it used).

I'm gonna photoshop you guys a pic of what our car would look like with those ugly Altezzas. Than you'll know why I said they're ugly. I can't finish it tonight... but from what I have so far.....eeewwww.
Me and my car have a like hate relationship. Somedays I think the back is ok... some days I think I'm having a nightmare. I like the front though... and can't think of anything to do for the rear to make it look more agressive.
I think the new CL back isn't all that either... it's really really bland... I wish they made it more agressive. Aiite... be back with a pic

-Mod list too long to load and waste of time.
-If you ask me if I have that mod... my reply would be yes.
-Have any questions about the car... I'll try to help.
-Is my car fast? ... comon be real, even with a Prelude motor it wouldn't be.

Why would you want altezzas? Can anyone give me a good reason? Maybe I'm picky because I'm a graphic designer, but I haven't seen many cars that pull off the look and they generally look like ass

I hated the back end cuz I thought it looked like a chick car but got used to it. Then I put on a spoiler and I think it looks SWEET! Now I just need to smoke the tails.
