    Altezza tail lights up for swap if anyone wants them, standard ones have to be in good condition with no fading n have clear indicator covers

    nice car man, looks great. im not personally a fan of the light but by the looks of it either are you.

    i recon go either a sliver or black rotor, with a colour that stands out, probably red on a black car.
