Follow up to Altezza Lights!

i just found and registered with this board. it is pretty cool, but we need to get more people in here! i will pass the word around. anyway, i was the person that originated the long post about the altezza lights for the cl on the superhonda forum. i had a ton of people reply, and then i sent an email with the link to APC, who makes the altezza's. i never got anything back, but I STONGLY RECOMMEND YOU EMAIL THEM (go to www.4apc.net ) and get to the page with the email addresses. send all of them emails individually begging for our model to be made. dont give up, i think i might have stirred them around a little last time. the more they see, the better our chances.

also, i am currently working on a project with a few other guru's to fit other alttezza lights on our rides, with a little help of fiberglass. we are still in the research phase, but it is going good and looks promising. thanks.

Welcome to the board! Thank you for the update...yeah I remember you on the other board. I was going to post this forum address, but I heard people get banned for that? Well, hopefully you can get more 1st gen CLer's over here.

I have dealt with APC in the past and had little luck contacting them when some gauge faces I had purchased developed problems.Try calling them maybe that will get you some results.Jens

im starting to see that too CLpower, and i am agreeing with you on this one. too bad they are the only company making the altezza's. damn it, somebody else needs to start manufacturing these things.

Personally I hate Altezza's... The car and the light treatment... Anyhow, I've seen a few photoshopped remditions of Altezzas and clears for the 1st gen CL. I liked the stocks, someone finally came out with the clear fronts literally days before I traded the CL in for my new TL. Figures...

Thinking the same thing here. If we had Accords or Civics, then OK, but on our car which is more of a luxury model, don't think it would look good. To each their own though.....
