anyone have a pic of black painted altezza on a application? i'm looking at pics of the new RX-8 and has taillights that look similar to black altezzas and it made me reconsider these.

No one has made black altezzas for the sentra. Only chrome and gunmetal. Liuspeed had his altezzas taken apart and painted black which he sold.

Yeah who ever he sold them too--hasnt posted anything about em....He should have sold them to me!!!

I want to know how this would look too.....

Dont U mean another two.....

anyone with a oven can take apart some altezzas and paint them. isn't like liuspeed is the only person who can make them. i know somebody somewhere has opened them up and painted them besides him. damn i wish i had the photoshopping skills to paint the chrome black but still have the clear outer housing. well first i need photoshop and thats a big download for 56k.

Yeah I guess I could just but a set and do it myself.....but Uknow laziness and IM just not too comfortable with opening and re-sealing lights.....

Anyways I gotta do something cuz these stocks look so not good...

hey i didnt say im the only one that can do these..

MP2050.. the 3-D altezza i gotta do way later.. gotta work on my car.. all ur rides are beating mine and i gotta do some work.

nah i'm not saying that u said that u were the only one who can make them. it just technokid made it seem that way so i was just pointing out the fact that some one could have bought the regular altezzas and paint them. I have noticed one thing. we do have some of the better looking chrome altezzas. this silverado parked beside me today and the altezzas on it looked like shit. i think he would have been better off getting the new euro tails apc has or getting the stock tails off of the 2003.
speaking of those tails those are what i want to make my altezzas look like (2003 chevy silverado) but i don't know how or even want to try to make that outer plastic piece conform around the altezza body.

too bad the oven usually warps taillights becuase they arent heat tempered. i would recommend trying it unless you used extremely low heat. late

Teknokid · Dec 28th, 2002, 02:08 AM

Well according to these forums, liuspeed is the only who has done them. I know anyone can take them apart and do it themselves but many people are lazy. Also there is that chance of the lense cracking and/or not being sealed properly allowing moisture to get in and fog up the lenses as many have experienced without modifying the altezzas themselves.

I saw these and they look interesting and was wondering if anyone had them on the forum... guess not?

the thing with those is that they like all sentra altezzas have a high chance of leaking water into the housing.
