Altezza for TL

I was wondering if anyone knows when they will release altezzas for the TL? all the TL's I see are the red and white ones and although it looks nice there should be something more original.
Also, I'm going to clear my headlights, but I was wondering if I can get a ticket for that?

I will probably be speaking for most of my buddies here in the TL Forum. As discussed before, NO ALTEZZAS please for our cars. Since you are a Newbie, I gotta b*tch slap some sense out of you. Don't you understand TLs are not those rice up civics and integras that you see on the streets. This is a luxury sedan and it will remain that way. So if you want altezzas, I think you should look somewhere else.

I bet if they already produced them many people on this forum would have them. Just my opinion. I honestly think if any of yall had the chance to get them, you would. Don't deny it. I'll be honest the only altezzas I like are the carbon fiber type that are red/clear. Even then, I don't like them that much.

at least it's not like some Eclipse I see all the time with six or eight of those red circular brake light (altezza style)across the whole damn tail. That is a piece of sh1t. Looks like spider eyes.

Honestly, if you saw a TL with Altezzas it would turn your head. Don't lie! and you would be somewhat impressed.

Altezza lights just don't look right.... look at some of the aftermarket ones on Civic/Accord.... you can barely see the light unless you are staring right at their A$$.... IMO, not only it looks bad, it's unsafe to have them on cars!!!

I was in a parking lot and this lady with a couple of kids looked at an IS300 and said "That ain't no Lexus!" You know what she looked at on the IS? Just the rear, especially the tails... Unfortunately for Lexus/Toyota, the ricers have turned those signature tail lights into something that is not associated with "Lexus." It's kinda the same thing with designer clothes. Everyone from bling-blingers to people on welfare are wearing Nautica, Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, etc. The previously upscale has become a commodity...

maybe you'd buy some Altezza's if you had a TL....but from what I've been reading since I joined, nobody else would

I think these Altezza lights are the most horrnedous thing you can do to a car...they are just hiddious, and no if i had the chance to get it for a TL not only would i not get it, i would have alot less respect for the car in general then I did in the first place. Anyone i see with one on a TL or CL I will personaly piss on them and there car. Thank You.

I would rather stick with the euro lights than altezza's...when I first saw them in Japan they were pretty sweet but now so many people have them, it's lost it's effect.

Hmm...the indiglo gauge post has pissed me off already...why not go for a double header...

everyone who's posted to his question, how about you READ. He didn't say "Gee guys what are your personal opinions?" He actually asked if anyone knew if they were coming out and if so when. Instead of b!tching, which seems to be the main focus of any post that the majority doesn't agree with, how about you help the guy. At least read the stupid question in the first place. And if you can't answer it, how about you shut up instead of spouting your mouth off about personal preferences? Makes a guy scared to do stuff to his own car. Geez guys, really pathetic I must say...

Shame especially on the moderators who should know better.

I would advise the guy who started the post to go somewhere else to ask. You won't get any questions answered. You'll just get b!tched at for wanting to do something that the zombie mass doesn't agree with

geez,

settle down, dude

Austin519, man, you gotta chill out......rayman009 asked if they were selling Altezza's for the TL and everybody gave an answer, not quite as direct an answer as he might have wanted, but answers none-the-less.

When a company makes a product, it has to appeal to a large volume of people so it can turn a good profit. And since a lot of people who are interested in modding their TL's are on this board, I feel that Altezza's simply will not sell.

And you shouldn't get so angry......we're all friends here.

fahoumh:
Actually what his post said was
1)"I was wondering if anyone knows when they will release altezzas for the TL?" and
2) "Also, I'm going to clear my headlights, but I was wondering if I can get a ticket for that?"

I'm very chilled out fahoumh, but tired of people acting like the experts on taste on every forum...this one, the honda acura one, the honda one...get over it. No one cares about your personal opinions on the Altezzas. You say "everybody gave an answer, not quite as direct an answer as he might have wanted, but answers none-the-less." Actually no. Almost no one gave an answer. An answer implies that they answered one of his two questions. NO ONE answered his second one...and his first was only partially answered by one guy who said he didn't think they made them because no one wants them. However I will tell you who was too d@mn busy spouting their mouths off and offered zero support:

badazzTL, TypeSDragon, MUGENUA, bdimc2001 (shame on you moderator...he wasn't asking about "no altezza for you"), Mstyle, Shoofin'TL (another moderator...Ed what's wrong with you? you always help!), MadSklz32TL, hooked2TL, TLover8888, AKRY, fahoumh, juniorbean (you told him how to clear em but he wasn't asking that), patrick, Collective27, SL1200MK4, 2k2 TLS

That's all but maybe 5 people in this post. That's pathetic. Geez. There were no answers fahoumh...there were just personal tastes "oh man yeah no those are too damn ugly I'll slap you around for getting those". That really answers the question about "releasing altezzas for the TL" let me tell you. I'm just posting this because I'm not a zombie groupie like all you nuts, and when one person jumps on a guy for asking something I don't follow the herd.

and fahoumh, he didn't ask about the economics of the altezzas, or if you "feel that Altezza's simply will not sell." How about you reread the question first? You just proved me right . I'm also not angry...just really disgusted by you people. And no you're not all friends, you're all part of the Borg, congratulations.

But why must we be limited to the question asked in the very first post? So many other topics get changed into diffent discussions all the time, so it shouldn't matter, we feel like talking about that, so we all run with that. I just don't see anything wrong with people posting on a comment. I've had many questions not fully answered because people felt like talking about something else I don't complain...

Good point chadhova...I just feel like he got trampled because people were too busy telling him how dumb he was and saying they were going to "b!tch slap" him to offer any advice...

Oh and rayman...they don't make the altezzas yet I believe, and clearing your heads are okay if you have a yellowish/amber bulb. No clear/silver bulbs that shine yellow. That's illegal

If you're so disgusted with us, why do you continue to visit this site?
