New Cars with Altezza Lights
Why don't companies realize they are 4 years to late on putting them on cars, i always hated them, but for little while they were cool and they faded out, now it seems like every car company is starting to put them on their new cars...The new nissans have them, the Mazda 6 has them, some ford have them..WTF??? what the deal with that?? Are designers so clueless as to what is going on in the car industry?? Aren't they supposed to do research on every little thing??
If they did do reasearch they would realize that the altezza lights are no longer popular, they havent been for like 2 years now!

Those of us with 2 cents worth of knowledge about cars know that aftermarket Altezzas are a poor investment (not just aesthectically inadequate but also commonly poor quality that could lead to safety and/or maintenance issues in the future). However, most lil kiddies and ricers (yep I'm gonna use that word cuz I'm Asian 
) don't know better or truly feel that "IsH mAd ToiTe y0!" Therefore, we all know that auto manufacturers are for the most part behind the times and trends(with a very few highly important exceptions), and thus for the most part don't realize that those who can afford new cars (especially sportier ones) now dislike Altezzas. Give it a few more years and when sales sag (we wish hehe), auto manufacturers will realize like we do that Altezzas have much suck
Maybe there'll be a ricey trend to "revert back" to standard rear light assemblies when Altezzas come stock

Ugliest? Last Gen Eclipse!
With the huge tail light and center reflector panel, they are just awful!
I owned one and so I'm a little sensitive to people uglying their DSMs.
No American car looks good with them. Just like no *** car would look good with an L88 style hood scoop (reversed, cowl induction).

While cowl induction sure looks good on the '70 Chevelle and "69 Camero. as well as the late '70's Trans-Am's pseudo cowl (shaker scoop) and '85 Mustang among others, the carbon fibre cowl induction hood for WRX's with FMIC's looks beautiful. (I had a beter photo of a diferent one but it's too big.)

yeh, those euro lights are becoming a very old look. i hope the next generation IS300's dont come with those darn tail lights...or at least someone please make regular tail lights for the is300!!!
i hate those. they remind me of Japan's TV show "Ultraman"...you know, with the silver and red helmet... only 3minutes until their powers run out. just like nitrous, i guess.

I think it is all a giant conspiracy...Think about it...
If the manufacturers put all the new trends on their cars at the same time aftermarket resellers did their market would crumble. It is just like anything else in this consumer driven world guyz and galz... Create a need for it and we will buy it!!!
I dunno just my 2 cents L8z
