Not really a fan but they look better than most Altezza style lights.
On a side note: Did you buy your car new and where did you purchase it. I traded my Spicy Orange MSP in for the Titanium at Faulkner Mazda and I would just like to know who ended up with it. They said it sold within the next few days.

Not a huge fan of the Altezza lights either. Particularly the protege models...cuz those three red dots bug me. But it dose look better then what I expected.

Ya I'm the winner they told me that they just got it in and that the org. owner bought the titanium thats funny at least you kept it in good condition, thanks any probs when you had it
I had them on my Mp3, actually 3 sets of them, they'd always fog up, and I'd send them back to NOPI, and they'd send a new set.
Ended up just asking for refund, and NOPIonline was GREAT.
2 results from my experience: 1-I'm a professional at changing tail lights 2-I'll never buy an APC product again, as long as I live.
I think they look good, just keep your eye out for some bad hazing/fogging on the inside middle sections of them. Save your receipt!! Good luck!

Holy Crap. Iwas going out on a limb when I asked you.
Wow it is good to see her again. I really miss that car because it drove so much better than the Titanium for some reason. The smaller knob is definitely nicer on the 03 and that car was so stable at high speeds. This one feels like it is pulling me all over the highway. It kind of feels like a really windy day and the car is being pushed back and forth in the lane while the spicy was perfectly straight.
I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the new spoiler.
Anyway, as for the car. I only had one warranty claim with it. I had the coolant leak early on and brought it back where they repaired a faulty flange.
Other than that nothing. I'm really anal about my cars so there is nothing to worry about the cars condition. I never raced it, or took it to redline. I stayed under 3k for the first 1000 miles except on the highway (about 3.5k) and after that I slowly increased the engine speed every few hundred miles. The car never saw a mod and was garaged all last winter. The radio never gave me problem either like most others have reported.
I put everything back in the glove box that I got with the car. When I brought it back to the dealer for the titanium they said they could sell it as a new car. I never even took off the plastic doorsill covers.
How much did you pay for it? I think they gave me $16,400 for the trade in.
Anyway, best of luck with it and TAKE CARE OF HER!

$17.999 so they made there cut I'm anal about it to I bought it around the middle of Aug. I think but other then that it's an awesome car, I'm garaging it for the winter also I get my EVO body kit today I have to pick it up at the drop point so I'll have pics of the kit in the box and pics of install thats funny cause I was wondering who had it before me they said that you had a kid and that you bought the titn. one cause you didn't want anyone to race you with a kid in the car hey good luck with your new MSP
No kid yet, my reasoning was that in the 8 months I owned it, it attracted A LOT of attention and being that I am 26 it was a little much for me (I'm no spring chicken anymore). My wife and I are going to try to start a family in the next 2 years and I when a kid finally arrives I wanted a lower profile car to avoid any kids trying to race me or tail gate me while my kid is back there.
Driving to work one day, a kid pulls up next to me at about 65 and the passenger is hanging out the window trying to get my attention. I roll down the wondow and he wants to know if it is a factory paint job. I said yes and he gives a thumbs up and yells "beautiful" and they take off. That was they day I realized that I must trade the car in. I'll tell you what though, I never got so many compliments as I did with the Spicy.
Thanks for the well wishes and good luck with the modding.

well, that and the whole *dr. evil air quotes* "Turbo thing"... Philly - they look good (I'm not a fan of Altezza's)...but these definitely have a different look due to the CF. I think if you go w/ a CF hood, that might add to it a bit. Nice to see you finally got them in, and I can't wait to see the EVO body kit!
