Default new cars with rice-alteeza's....

Here are the one's I can think of off the top of my head and none of their taillights look good (in my opinion).

Evolution VIII (I got MR lights for $325 to replace mine)
IS300 (Alteeza in Japan)
RX330
MDX
Altima
Ford Lightning (2001-)

What else has the "new and improved" alteeza's from the factory?

A lot of Ford and Chevy dealers are offering them as a dealer intalled option in my area. Not that I would digrace myself by buying the lights or buying domestic period, but from what I hear they are charging like $350 for them. You see Cavaliers all over the lots with big ass wings, headlight covers, Fag and the Furious style graphics, chrome 18 inch rims, and of course, the required taillights.

How are they rice? The IS300 started the whole thing so why would the tailights be considered rice? Rice is putting stickers of things you dont have on your car.

To me, the distinguishing factor is chrome / non-chrome.

Simple, classy non-chrome circular light =
Cluttered chrome light =
