Please post your honest to god, no holds barred, opinion of such purchase!!!!

Thank you for your time and effort!!:D

Are you talking about the illegal clear or the IS200 Toyota Altezza?

If it's the clear I'm thinking about, tell him that's so 1996, what's he going to do next install "coloured" bulbs??? Who's he trying to impress, the local high school girls?

Also tell him he has to remove the rear bumper to get the lamp assembly out, unless he wants to cheat (I THINK you can) and reach from the underside with a really really long phillips screw driver; cause there are screws from underneath the tail lamps.

He's better off spending his $200+ else where.

Worst thing you could do to a car. Keep it clean, keep those tails stock.

you're retarded if you do it, especially to an RSX.

If you do plan on doing it, mine aswell get a 4" dual-tip exhaust, unpainted baby blue body kit, and some spinners.


Or you can just get this nice exhaust tip..

Comes in Andolized Stainless steel or regular stainless steel.

Cause more attraction from cops... If he likes cops? I'd say spend the $200 on something else... Tint? towards a CAI/header/exhaust?

It's his friend, which brings up 2 problems:

1. Friends keep friends from being idiots.

2. At some point, the OP will be known as the guy who hangs around with the guy who was stupid enough to put clear tails on his car. It's stupid by association

Awesome!! Funny thing is he is Filipino and is always eating rice. (not because he is filippino, but because he never stops eating. EVER. And it is usually rice)

He has seen some of the responses....:rofl: he feels dumb. And even though Funkedelic is his only support group through such beautiful moral value. He still got the picture (we hope)

Thanks guys for helping my non gay friend remain straight.:thumbsup:

I've had a CF spoiler, went back to stock.
I've had decal stripes and roll calls, went back to stock.
I've had clear tails, went back to stock.
I've had 18" wheels with banana peel rubber, went back to a 17 that performed as well as looked good.
I've had a CF hood and trunk, ok, never went back to stock but I painted over both of it.
I've had a body kit, and I'm keeping it. :D

My car has gone through all the phases and all the shit. If anyone has seen the new paint job they know it's far from looking stock right now, but it's the little things like spoilers and taillamps that you always grow out of. And the scene has most certainly grown out of it. That's what's more important. If you want to have your car stand out from the rest, try to think of something original you can do to make it your own. A drop? A lip spoiler? A custom exhaust? But clean will win.

But then again, maybe he just needs to go through it and get it out of the system.

Tell him they look stupid, but ultimately, it's his own decision.


Then after he spends all the time and money replacing them, smash them. He'll have to go back to stock then :thumbsup:

I think the only car these look good on is an actual Toyota Altezza.

Altezzas will slow his car down. He needs a body kit. Tell him to get a body kit for it instead of clear lights.
