I don't get it, I am looking for OEM euro audi tail lights and all I can find when searching is the stupid altezza lights, I know achtuning sells them I am just trying to find an other tuners who carry them. I guess it is just really anoying that they call those ugly tail lights euro when they are from a japanese car and they are named after a japanese car?

Default because the altezza was the first car to have them.... the altezza was sold in europe too.

So the ricers like the following terms

JDM = japan domestic market
EURO = european
honda = piece of ****
civic = car for poor people
accord = bland
apexi = quick way to fuxor your car
vtec = its a mod or so I'm told
toyota = see honda

that is all I can think of rigt now, just thinking of that gave me a stomach ache, so I'll have to stop now.
