I like how everyone calls them "euro" now. When did it change from "altezza"?

In my opinion, "altezza" tails should stay on the altezza.

But, the tinted ones don't look too bad. And we all know the Japanese have funky taste sometimes.

If you're going to build a "clean" car, then they shouldn't be included. If you think they look cool, then put them on your car, but every car I've seen with them I don't consider "clean". If you're going for the "drift-car style" (I guess that means whatever car you saw that had them and you liked it) Then you can get away with them.

They have always been associated with ricers, and that's why I'll always stay away from them, but it all depends on peoples styles.

I remember the thread back in the day when someone asked how to install these, and he got flamed-hard. I remember laughing particularly hard when someone wrote him a step-by-step guide to installation that included "Take the screw driver and shove it through your temple". ROFL.

The Altezza was the first popular car that had "crystal" taillights from the factory, but that's not where they originated.
