Are these any good? ( carbon fiber or chrome ) Has anyone had these fog up? Is there an alternative brand of tail lights?

I had the Chrome ones and they were okay but it had many manufact defects. Mine never fogged up. But I know some others did. Also they had hair line cracks in the inside of them. I liked the look it had but I needed something more to match my car so I got the Carbon Fiber Yangson's. Alot of people are waiting for the arrival of the TYC tails. Do a search on TYC to see a pic.

I had the APC carbon fiber altezzas. The first set I had came with loads of cracks and bubbles in the black part around the edge, so I sent it back. The second set wasn't as bad, so I decided to keep them. After a while, they began to fog up. I gave up and traded them for some stock taillights, which I redded out.

I gotta CF ones that I bought back in Nov last year. They came with slight hair cracks inside by the edges. They are fine and no fogs whatsoever. I like mine cuz it matches my car pretty good.

I've got the APC CF tails.... they fogged up like mad the first couple of weeks but have for some reason gotten better. My only complaint is that around the edges where it is black - in one of the corners there is no paint which isn't too noticeable but it bugs me.

For the love of god don't get them!!!!! For real though, don't ruin your car by putting these things on there. If your going to get tail lights, get the new ones from TYC or whatever that company is. They look pretty good.

What is sooooo negative about having a Altezza on your car. IMO, it isn't that ricey. I mean, compare to HONDA/MITSU cars having theirs on and us, our car looks better with it. I love the way mine looks on my ride.

Yeah, I dont see anything wrong with altezza' at all. If you like them then get them. To each his own. Dont make up your mind just cuz someone says its ricey. A lot of us has Altezza's, all diffiernet ones. APC, Yangson, Chrome, Carbon Fiber.
