Angry Beware! Rip Off Euro Altezza Tail lights on Ebay!

I would like to warn anyone trying to save some cash, buying 2003 Euro Altezza MP5 Tail lights off Ebay! I bought some Clear Euro Tail lights for my 2003 MP5, I was so excited, and couldn't wait to put them in. When I got them, they wouldn't line up with factory holes, had gaps all over, profile stuck out 1/4 inch on sides. It looked like I was rear ended, and the lights got damaged. And all sales are final, no refunds, so I have some expensive targets to target shoot on now!

If anyone has purchased Euro clear Altezza lights and they fit like the factory MP5 tail lights, please let me know a reliable distributor, and fair price.

Dude! Man you need to check more postings,... ok, "I'll" be your saviour today. Go to www.matrixracing.com & they offer them in 3 styles,... carbon fiber, gunmetal, & chrome/clear.

Also check out www.speedhut.com for custom gauge bezels. They have chrome & carbon fiber.

P.S. Crazy,.. why didn't you respond to my yahoo IM? Where can I get one of those nice hood bug-guards? The only place I found was asking like $117.

Sorry for late reply, I'm new to this, trying to figure things out! I purchased it from a Mazda Dealer for $76 Canadian.

You will like the USD price! Maybe you can call the dealership and they can direct you to who you can purchase one from. Or try Ebay.com, which is probably your best bet. Don't forget shipping! What ever that may be!
Good Luck!

This is just a matter of opinion but I can't stand Euro style tail lights. Well, atleast the clear/chrome ones. Other than on a WHITE car I find that they look cheap. I also don't like the chances you take of them getting water in them. *shrugs*

I reserve thoughts on the Carbon fiber ones. I think they look better but still would rather save the loot for more HP instead of bling bling.

im with you ripper, i only like clear/chrome ones on white cars(sometimes), and the carbon fiber ones on a darker car, like black.

Altezzas are gay anyway. Save your money for better things.
