#1. JDM tails for that car aren't cleared at the top.

#2. If you wanna clear it out, then just buy the half red/white tails or buy all clear tails and spray the bottom half red.

Actually, modded altezzas look cool sometimes. Like if you did a flat black inside, and all transparent red lense.

Parts saled for the Japanese market don't have the reflector.

Parts saled for north america have it.

I wouldn't leave it all clear, unless you wanna take the risk of getting a ticket. Also, if the sun is beaming down to the back of your car, the driver behind you may not see your brake lights which can be dangerous.
As for the Altezza style lights....I don't think they're all that appealing. But of course that's just my opinion. Do what ever you want. It's your car and nobody elses.
