    Nah guys they are not altezza, just plain old clear rear lights. Though i may get them slightly tinted for some effect if it looks to albino.

    Have you ever considered getting the normal lights, and just getting them tinted? They look fairly good and might suit your car :)

    That's what i currently have. Looks alright but, the car really needs to be equalised at the rear.

    hardstyle: I will get one when i can.

    Neat and tidy car you got there mate those tail lights look sweet to bad there not ADR approved wish they were, you get any trouble from the police for them. Also how much were your rims I would like something like them but in chrome.

    Keep up the good work its a joy to see cars this old looking this great 14 years after they were produced.

    Hey mate cheers, nah i have never had any trouble from the police at all. The rims were not full price, i just traded a friend for my old rims with a little extra cash. So can't help you there.

    Commodore looking in a bad way currently, got a spare on the back, a big dirty dint on the other side with red paint, and a coil pack just went. Hoping to fix it all up soon, expensive...

    On the plus side, got new tint, 20% on windows, and 15% on rear. Got the aircon working again and changed my interior around, looks mad. Going to get the front bumper and rear bumper resprayed (painting black bit under front). And possibly lowering the ass more. =] :bomb:

    Changed interior.

    I've thought about it, though i'm not sure how good it will look colour coded. The black breaks it up a bit. I really want to get rid of the black bumper strips but the paint is rooted under it. =\

    neet_wagon: The dint you can see next to the stocky was always there, there is a much bigger one on the other side with red paint everywhere =p
