Why do you want those for a CL...IMHO they are just not classy at all...which the CL is.

I just ordered a set of APC Altezza style lights for me CL-S supercharged 3.5L. They look tight! If you call APS you have to speak to the right person to request them...for some reason they're not promoting them well, but the guy I talked to hooked me up.

Raul, no Jorge, I heard that the Altezza lights add about 20 WHP and as a part of the under $700 300 WHP package, they are a must.

Billy Mays here,

If you order now (only to the first 65536 callers) I will throw in the Altezza lights, Mystery Mod, and painted engine covers. These parts WILL allow you to run the 1/4 in 10.05. THAT'S RIGHT FOLKS, 10.05!!!

You say that's not good enough???

I'll also throw in a can of Oxy-Clean. If you thought Zaino was good, well.....

D00D that is 1337, for that under $700 300 WHP package, how many yellow stickers, we all know that yellow stickers add a good 5-10 HP each, oh and make sure to take off both wipers and put a gold double blade in with a single yellow arm relocated to the center of the car's windsheild :wackit:

Don't forget to weld 2 coffee cans to your exhaust so everyone will see that they are 5 inch pipe, and maybe get one of those inserts that adds that turbo wastegate sound, you know the $15 speaker that I heard about.

POSEUR

I think that you mistook a-cl.com for www.beaterz.com Go and check it out, it might be what you are looking for. :flamer:

Hey, 1genCL said to let the flaming begin, I am only listening to one of the guys that runs this place.

Haha.... you guys are harsh....

I guess i'll play Mr. Nice Guy...

mmmm.... What year is your car? If it's not a 2003 than I would recommend getting the 2003 lights. They look MUCH better than any kind of altezza light plus it keeps the car looking classy.

Whatever

You guys can flame me all you want, and I realize that you guys all have different opinions, and that's fine with me. I was just asking a question. I apparently got several answers. I knew I was going to get flamed for asking this question.

That is the point, IMHO the CL/TL is a far classier car than the IS...the IS is too boy-racer. Yes, its a Lexus, yes that is a great name, and I would love to drive one, but not THAT one. Nor would I drive the SC...what a stupid car, take teh back seats out, they only have about 4 inches of leg room from all of the pics I've seen. The SL 55, that has real back seats, and the hard top convertible. (So what if its just under twice the price? Buy the SL 500 then)

IF there are indeed Altezzas for the CL I need to see them, this should provide me with the entertainment I need for the night. Nothing like putting cheap plastic and chrome accessories on a $30K+ sport luxury car to make me laugh. Any PICs? Anyone?

That is the point CL status, it may look good (from the front) but the back seat is a joke, what are they trying to do...either make the car longer, or take the back seat out. But the point is moot, if I had 68-70k, I would save a bit more, and go get an M5.

Actually, the Altezzas looked classy (on a 35k car) until every 15k Civic, Accord, Mirage, Mustang, Altima pickup truck, eclipse had em.

Now:
Ford lightning
Lexus RX 300
IS 300
Mitsu Highlander
Evolution VIII
ALtima (the most blantant factory ripoff)

I like the carbon/black ones.

Don't forget the Maxima! And Gilgamesh, the SL doesn't have rear seats...unless you are in Europe where they are optional

yeah 1sicklex has a point, dont hate the IS, hate on the posers.

and im going to have to disagree with gilgamesh. the backseats in the SC are not for people to sit in, its for insurance purposes from what i hear. i think the toyota scoarer does not have backseats, they only put them in the american version, i believe. and as far as the SL500 having REAL backseats, please, 2 door cars will NEVER have "real" backseats IMO. besides when youre looking for real usable backseats why would you go for a coupe?

btw, i vote mmmmm off the island. what a dumbshit question, the fucken altezza guys hate on Honda/Acuras b/c of idiots like this.

Hey does anyone know where I can get some 13"x7 Dayton Wire Wheels? I want to throw those on my CL, oh yeah, and some chrome mudflaps mounted sideways, cause those 13x7s are gonna stick out a bit.
