opinion altezzas or body kits (more specificaly the blitz)

hey everyone after reading most of what i can here ive noticed something kinda stick out..majority seem to dissagree with bodykits but like altezza tail lights..now i get it the stock body is the right body and why change the look of your car and the blitz kit is so played out...okay but dont ya think altezzas are played out too? I have a blitzed eclipse i see both angles of that arguement i can see why its disliked and why its so loved but as for altezzas i mean its not just eclipses that have them its every car. Reason with me why hate on the blitz kit but think altezzas are fine...and im not saying everyone does this or has this opinion, im not even naming names i just realy wanna know why altezzas are so preffered and body kits in general seem not to be


what would u rather have on your car a blitz kit or altezza tail lights?

I have tezza's on mine and I too don't know why so many people hate them. On a clipse, I only like the dark ones though (Carbon Fiber & Black). Mine are black..

Some of the team, not the majority of the team, like them...me...not so much.

Now I understand that most here are of the opinion that the stock body is the best, but still don't understand something else. If it's taboo to modify your stock body...why do people change to the altezza lights? Don't you think they are played out too? Much easier to read IMO.

Well...I guess it's because some people like them and some don't. It is the same senario with your beloved blitz kit, as you already know. I guess this whole thread is pointless.

This is going to stir up the same conversation as the blitz kit question and is once again absolutely redundant.

The pox on both of them.

Edit: Spelling and junk.
Edit2: Mods please lock this.

I'm not a big fan either. The sides...not as bad, but the center piece is hideous.

I don't like the blitz kit because everyone has it, its just generic at this point.

But i liek my altezzas because not everyone has them, i painted the middle peice, and the lights are 3 red circles. not the ovals i see most people with and too much chrome with the middle.

I like the tails, and there is a little bit of a difference, but not that bad

The stock tail lights are hot. I'm probably going to keep them unless I do a full out tail light conversion. Altezza's are played out by alot of different cars. I know everyone here has them. (Not me.) If I did get them, I'd do the CF or black ones.
