Well my gf accidently backed up into my car and broke a tail lamp.

I bought altezza's off ebay.
Heres the link

I go outside to fit these on, and I find that at the corners they are 1.5 cm away from the bumper...they do not match up with the bumper correctly.

I'm confused at this point because I've seen other cars with these tails and no one has ever had issues.

Someone help me out here...and let me know whats up.

 

Yes, they suck

But hey, what do you expect for "JDM" for a Korean car! lol.gif lol.gif lol.gif

 

Well that helped me a lot.

 

My fitment is off as well. I think if you got some washers to use as spacers and messed with it for awhile you could get it right.

 

I had similar problems with mine. I used a drill and widened the holes that the bolts go through (on the body) and then messed with it enough that it looked good.

 

well if it helps any mine fit fine, with the stock bumper and with the veilside bumper....

i got the chrome altezzas off ebay, came in a gen3 box.

i would have bugged on my gf if she pulled a stunt like that.

 

maybe this is a first gen problem... I didnt have any issues on mine... thats odd, but i think java is right on with the washers or spacers and play with it a bit.

 

I'll take pictures tomorrow and show you guys what I'm talking about.
I doubt a few window washers will fix this problem

 

Yes, this is a first gen problem.

 

Yup I had that exact same problem. I wasn't worried about it cause I knew I was going to get it painted, so to fill the small gaps was not an issue.

Sucks man, sorry to hear. You're the only one that'll notice though, unless your showing your car.

P.S. I don't have mine anymore cause they (a) burnt out, and (B) melted
