Petition to APC for Altezzas Options

[Tony-94]

I discovered this while searching the web the other day for any news on Altezza lights for our cars. It's an official on-line petition to APC asking them to produce the lights.
Don't know if it's been mentioned on here before?
Not that many 'signatures' at the moment so I guess not...
Anway here's the link petition

[Mage]

[Phat_99CeliGT]

I signed for some smoked or carbon fiber ones.

Good luck getting APC or any aftermarket companies to make new parts for our cars such as Altezza-style lights or clear corners for the '94 and '95. I emailed APC, OBX, and ProCarParts a long time ago about making some '94 and '95 clear corners, and didn't even recieve a single acknowledgement that they'd even read my e-mail.

I wouldn't totally knock it, altezzas aren't the greatest but any bit of aftermarket support for the 6gc would be good, and cf altezzas would be kinda nice.

Heh heh

[XSTeknique]

Granted, one more product for us 6 gens would be nice and give one more thing to have the "modified" look would be nice. Would you really want to put something of such crappy quality on your car? I know must of you agree that the chrome, "Altezza" lights look kind of gay, there is no way that APC would even make a REAL carbon fiber tail light assembly. Instead, you get a cheap ass black and silver checkered piece of plastic. I wouldn't put it on if I was paid to...just my opinion.



More to come!

[Guest_Matthew_*]

i signed it...i probably wouldn't get them but think of it like this. i am sure that they talk to other new and upcoming companies and ask them what there best sellers are. obviously if we get a lot of people to buy these then maybe new companies will make products for us.

werd.

Tony just kiddin, don't go

[NEVERSTOP]

I personally dont care for altezza's but I would be down for a set of the Retro 3d's There kinda pimp.. I would also take full clears as long as they didnt look cheap.. I might sign it

[Tony-94]

I agree some decent quality full clears would look great.
If you sign the petition you can state whether you would prefer an altezza, euro clear or any other style light you would like see made.

[Celica_racer1123...]

I would just save up for JDM's.

spoken by a true genius

[94TRDCeli]

im sure im gonna get bitched at or whatever but what is the big problem with altezzas? im just curious i dont like all off them but the cf ones sure do look nice..

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

I have to agree with 94TRDCeli, im not a big fan of altezzas, but carbon fiber or some sort of clear set of tails would be real nice to pick from. And if altezzas arent your thing, than dont buy 'em

EDIT- .....although i would personally love a set of JDM's.......

Please no. Why would anyone want to put them on there car beats me. I think they are so ugly and so played out. Id rather keep mine stock.

But ill sign it anyway for those of u who want them

[zigy]

damn, most of my tuner friends have altezzas,

don't wanna say anything to offend them (LOL)

but i would take "carbon-fiber" only, like the ones

that are blacked out on silvias....

[deX]

anyone who don't want em, just say you dont want em. if others like em, let them have em. dont have to be all biased and dont have to hate. im up for altezzas! anyone wanna flame me? lol...

[HyperDeathKill]

Hey yea, why you gotta rain on other people's parades? Not like Altezza's on other people's Celica's are going to hurt you. Unless it's the type of Altezza's that hurt people. I once got my arm broken by the Altezza's on a Honda.

[Charlie97L]

i think it's a good petition. my only issue with it is this: you do realize that carbon fiber altezzas are not real carbon fiber, don't you? it's not even close. it's just black and silver checkerboard plastic. and if you get anything that is REAL carbon fiber, like a wing, or a hood, the CF-look lights will look like trash next to it. i'm a big fan of CF, and I love it, i have a dash kit, knob, and fuel door... but i've held up CF-look parts next to my stuff, and it just doesn't cut it... just my opinion, i think it would be great if they made more parts.

i just want everyone to know what they are getting when they ask APC to build "Carbon Fiber" tails.

[95STCelica]

Meh..

I think they are played out and belong on civic's. I dont want to see a 17 y/o punk with his visor backwards and upside down riding in a 6thgen with altezzas.

I don't know i'd rather be more original. JDM or stock looks better anyway.

[deX]

of course they're played out on civics. not celicas tho

some people are poor and cant afford JDM's.

Thats what I did. I do think the carbon fiber ones would look descent though.

[macavely]

Is anyone else as mad as me that aftermarket companies just forgot about the 6GC.

Yeah, when you look at some of the cars that ARE catered for its like
Hopefully this petition will show aftermarket companies that there is a market for gen 6 products and they may even begin to make other stuff(clear turn signals for 94-95 cars would be an idea) .

I've got some bad news or good news, depending on your point of view......
With the number of new signatures for the petition drying up, it was decided to contact the petition starter to ask him basically 'What do we do next?...'
No reply
Then I sent APC an email myself with details of the petition etc
No reply
So it looks like that APC aren't interested in making the lights and don't have the time to reply with a message saying so.
Oh well, I'm happy enough with my JDM tails which I really like but for anyone who still wants the Altezzas there are other companys out there who might consider making them after seeing the interest generated by the APC petition.
