Well, they aren't a manufacturer product, but I have one done. I need another bezel to finish the other side. But below are links to the pictures of them in my shop.

Hope you like.

Alteeza 1
Alteeza 2
Alteeza 3

Those of you who were at the meet yesterday in Sheboygan have already seen them first-hand.

I saw them first hand and they do look pretty good. Can't wait to see them with red bublbs.

 

[babyalex27]

how can we do these oursleves? Or do you sell them? I am very interested!

 

[IntrepidXJ]

Yeah, they looked really good in person. Quality work by ATF

 

[ATFCharger]

I'm in the process of getting a driver-side lamp so I can get a full set on the car.

Not sure when I'll accomplish that, but for anyone that wants their tails done w/o doing it themselves can either PM me or email me and we can work out the details.

I think I may patent the idea just in case some other mfg company sees them and wants to seriously over-charge people for them.

Don't be fooled by cheap immitations.
This is the real deal.

As for 2G Intrepids, while you have a serious difference in design of your tail lights, if I can get a hold of one I may look into a little R&D and see what happens. They will require a considerable more amount of time, though.

dude thats awesome. Execelent job. 2 thumbs up.

 

[yankeyspeed]

They look great. What are you going to do to the center section?

 

[ATFCharger]

Not quite sure yet. I think for now I will keep the reflector in there, as the center piece costs a little more to replace. The same construction principles apply to it as for the side lamps, but it costs a little more on my part.

 

[DMAG]

Sweet! Too bad the 2G's are such a pain in the ass. That looks awesome!

 

[Djnrg]

Definitely patent them dude! It doesn't cost much, and it would stop some stupid company from stealing your idea. PLUS, if a company wanted to make them, they would have to license it (or purchase the patent) from you..........shhh........listen....what's that I hear??? oh yeah, it's CHA CHING!!!

haha.....

but seriously, I have looked into patents for a few things I have dreamed up, and it is worth it..

 

[brianw99]

Man that SWEET!
Can I ask how you did that. I'm sooo curious!

 

[yankeyspeed]

YOu know you could paint the center section,body color. I would think about doing that.

 

[p3]

i painted my center section black, and it looks alot better that way ....now i just need those Altezza's and it'll look sweet

 

[ATFCharger]

Yes, but what do you use for a backup light then? Or did you paint around the clear "Intrepid" area of the center piece?

I can replicate the center section to look like the Alteeza's, however, it wouldn't be lighted at night anyway, you just see it in the day. Not a bad idea, but one worth considering.

As for an update on the Alteeza's themselves, as winter is approaching I won't have them on my car yet. I should have gotten the driver side bezel made at the same time, but I didn't have enough money to do it. So look for the complete set to be available sometime towards Xmas. (what a cool gift idea, huh?)

I'm also working on the details for my business with them so I can get a subsidiary page launched off my website, and here, so you all have details on how you can get a pair of these. And I'm in the process of getting them patented.

Please be patient, though, as it's a slow process . But once it's all setup, us 1G's (and hopefully 2G's) will have some sweet tail lights.

Hey ATF say 1gen instead of 1 g because i tought you meant 1 grand for the price of them or something. thats cool keep up the great job bro. now we are going to start seeing things for the intrepid.

 

[jnutz]

For the center section. It seems like you could run some wire from the third brake light to it and install 3-5 lights across there. Just an idea. I think it would look kind of cool all lit up across there.

 

[ATFCharger]

Another thought is once I have this in motion a little more I could offer optional neon-wires in that center section for people who may want that.

Of course there's more Research and Development there that I need to look into, but that could be done on a per-customer-basis for different colors.

 

[blkbute]

good job man, its looking sweet! the first pics are a little dark, but still looks cool.

How much does it cost to do a patent? I was talking to one of my uncles over Thanksgiving and he said patents cost something like $8000! Oh, my uncle has some ideas he was looking at (not car related). But, my uncle has been know to be a little weird.

I do find it hard to believe that a patent would cost $8000.
