Default SC300 Altezza Tail Lights

hey CL, i need new tail lights cuz mine are cracked. Sadly I cannot replace with oem 97's because im not made of money and would rather use the money for performance. I have a amazon gift card and noticed they sell the spyder altezza tails, but im having a hard time deciding between the chrome and the black ones.

Does anyone have any pictures of either (preferably black) tail lights installed? I have a black sc with chrome trim, any suggestions?
Thanks

Just $70 worth of regret and sorrow once the Altezza's are installed

they are like 120 and my card is for 80, i could buy speakers instead too cuz my back ones went out. where is a good place to look for 97+ tails? will the altezzas really look that ****ty? im assuming thats why there are no pics of them lol. I kno 70 wont buy me much, but its 70 more than i had before in the turbo fund.

$250, he says he won't ship but I don't want you to buy Altezza's so much that I am willing to grab these for you and ship them to you (assuming you pay the shipping cost)

I know your talking about the "spider altezza" lights which i think are rather ugly but i have seen a members car here who has the "altezza red smoke" ones sold on amazon and they are the best looking tails I've seen on a black sc.

I know this is all opinion and 97+ seems to be the popular opinion but i actually prefer the 95's to the 97's.

Then again i preferred the 91 NSX tails to the 2002+'s so i know i don't usually share the popular opinion when it comes to tails.

To me busy doesn't = better. I prefer the simplest and cleanest and imo those are the "altezza red smokes" on amazon. Just my opinion though.

If you ask me spend that $80 Amazon gift card on a roof spoiler.

Dude's got the right idea. Don't ruin an SC with ugly-*** altezza tails, lol. Save for some factory ones or something similar. Aftermarket tails almost always look crappy and never fit/work as well as OEM.
