Hey, just looking for some opinions. I have a Blue Tib with the veilside kit and some black rims with some machine polished silver on them. I was wondering what would look better on my car? The Black Altezza's or the Chrome ones? And is eBay fine with getting these from? They'll still fit the exact same for taillights right?
Thanks, Blue_Bomber

ebay is fine. I got mine there. Some have had problems with them sealing properly so just check them out. They'll fit, shouldn't have a problem.
I suggest staying with stock tails and maybe use night shades to tint them darker

If you're mind is set on getting altezzas, go with the black. You could even add a light coat of nightshades to it to faintly tint the lenses. It should give it a pretty neat look.
You can also try and track down some of the Smoked Lens covers. I wouldn't recommend going through SFR or Kspec since a few members have had serious issues with them. I've never purchased anything from them.
Just an FYI for everyone though. Nightshades is not available in Canada, and any vendor I've found online refuses to ship it to Canada. The only possible way is to either go down into the States and buy it, or find a member that is willing to recieve it and then ship it from there.

black altezzaz with a medium coating of nightshades and then a few layers of clear.. will look perfect..
or night shade the stock tails.. the whole thing.. i HATE the look of the white reverse light and rest of tail black..

If you can't get nightshades, I went to a hobbystore and bought this stuff that was essentially the same thing, called black tint or something like that for model cars, and then put a clear coat on it and it did the same job.
