Talking Foglights and altezzas

I just like to say thanks fir the threads. I did the fog light mod to turn them on only with the sidemarkers, it works great, just what I wanted to do. I bought the carbon fiber altezzas or euro lights and they look great, I will be installing them this weekend. I have a black mp5 so carbon fibers are the one i wanted instead of chrome. Also before anyone says anything I like them even if they look riced.

thanks

If you have a 3rd gen sedan, www.nopionline.com has them (pick 99-01, for some reason they don't have them listed for 02 or 03, but they'll still fit.)

If you have a P5, try eBay. I see them once in a while on there, but you have to be quick.

carbon fiber? or carbon fiber look? theres a big differnce. give yourself a couple monthes in the hot sun, and it'll fade.

i really dont care for fake carbon, but they look a lot a darker and i hate the stock taillights, but i really dont even know if they are fake or real, but it doesnt even matter, they just are better looking. I really dont know why all people call aftermarket lights altezzas, hardly any of them look like the toyotas lights, its really starting to **** me off, because i have been refering to every light altezzas. I'm stupid!

why not go with JDM? all my lighting is that way. its a slight differnce, but definitely noticable. =)

i get stopped all the time by people hearing my blow-off valve. no seeing any logos and asking me what kind of car i drive. thinking its a new lancer or something. lol. i dunno. i love the clean look. always have.

whenever i see "altezza" lights i think 16 yr old screaming for attention. i dunno. but hey if you like then all the power to you.

btw. you can definitely tell if the carbonfiber is real or not. look and you can tell the pattern is painted on, rather than seeing actual strands of "fiber". i'm in portland too. next time there's a corksport meet i'll show you what real carbon fiber looks like.

That's my car. I really don't care who likes it and who doesn't. All that matters is that I like it, and if others do too well then I'll answer any questions they might have. They aren't real carbon fiber and to be honest, I hope they do fade. I'd rather have a flat black look to them anyway, like the S2000. Black chrome is to shiny and chrome would look hidious. I wanted my *** to look different from all the other P5 on the road, and there's a lot of them in Toronto. In my mind JDM is over-priced and over-rated. Waste of money! Am I 17? No, I'm a 24 year old man who loves the import scene and has money to spend!

The lights are from Tom Motorsport, K Dawg One posted a link earlier in this thread. I got them from the auto show that just past here in Toronto, they had a booth and were selling products. I agree they look different, and that's why I got them.
The wing I got when I purchased the car, it was a dealer option. Its not a civic wing.
