Default taillights...

i was just wondering which taillights would look best on a screaming yellow 2004 stang...

clear altezza - http://mustangtuning.com/mu99fitali.html

gunmetal altezza - http://mustangtuning.com/gualmutali99.html

carbon fiber - http://mustangtuning.com/mu99cafitali.html

i'm leaning towards the carbon fiber ones b/c they appear darker and i think the black appearance would look good with my tinted windows...plus they r 30 bucks cheaper than the others...what would u guys vote on? thx bros

peace

I think the general consenus is going to be "Nothing with the word Altezza in it!!"

Get some tailight tints at www.autobadges.com and call it a day.

Save yerself a bunch of money and find 50% blackouts for the taillights. i think you can get em from

http://www.autobadges.com/vinyldecals/

yer not gonna get many recs for altezza's on this site. I used to have the carbon fiber ones and diddnt have em long. the more i worked with my mustang the more i wanted to give it accents and details, but not change anything very dramatic. i went with more oldschool styling ques.

The triple vertical bar tail light is very much a mustang thing, and has been on almost all the mustangs in one form or another.

thx 4 the words of wisdom bros...i don't wanna be some civic-wannabe mustang so i'll steer clear of the altezzas and that autobadges site has some good stuff but i didn't know which i should get... they offer a 50% smoked tint or a complete blackout tint...just wanting 2 know what would probably look best on a screaming yellow stang? jack the ripper mentioned blackouts but i kinda like the smoked look...

peace

we should be giving you a flogging for typing the word alxxxxa on the site. Blackouts look totally killer on a yellow stang. BTW, if you haven't yet check out the Yellow Mustang Registry. When they have GTG's it's really something to behold.

I got something smart to say.

Hey Determined, if you find that you have any going-on's in yer life that involve being on the wrong end of the law, maybe you should stick with the 50% smoked outs, cause most states the blackouts are illegal.

The BAC level in colorado is freaky low, like .05, My buddy tim is 6foot 5, he had 1 washington apple, and 2 beers within a 3 hour period. He got pulled over for failure to use a tun signal and ended up getting a DWAI or whatever it is.

That being the case, and the fact i like to get a couple beers after work at my local watering hole, i try not to give police ANY excuse to pull me over. I would hate to have 2 beers in an hour and get a DUI cause my tail lights are too dark even though i was sober.

lol.......

+1 for 50% tints. Mustangs have the coolest tail lights of any car... why would you want to change them? If you're itching to customize them, get the sequential tail light kit from CDC... I always get comments on mine!
