Yes...Nilo is running Red Genie Body Kit...and I believe it's available now.

As for his wheels... They are 19" Axis TC Evo rims . Not sure of the tire size..but i'm assuming they are 215/35/19. i took the pix on our way to the KIISFM scion promotional event to Longo Toyota.

The TYC lights come with its own light bulbs and wiring. U'll have to switch out ur stock light bulb connectors for the TYC ones. Believe me..TYC are high quality and really nice looking. The lights are not circle top to bottom...rather the top (turn signal) is a concave circle and shines red. The middle is the brake light and reflects really bright in full circle. The lower is obviously the reverse light. which is also concave..

These lights are amazingly bright...some people thought I was using LEDs.

For those of you that are concverned about the reverse light not being bright enough, those of you with my smoke Overlays will contest that the light shines through just fine. The smoke isn't all too dark either, you're looking at a 6 out of 10 as far as darkness goes. Look in my other galleries on my site, there are a few pics of the overlays with the reverse lamps on, hardly affect on brightness of the light itself .

As far as putting the overlay over TYC's, why not? Get a custome tailight, and customize it even more! Alot of people with Altezza lights on the Celica, have my smoke kit overr it, see my Celica Gallery. In fact, I urge all of you considering my Overlays, to look through all my Galleries, not just the Scion one. Alot of your questions can be anwered by just doing that I plan on concentrating more on the Scion in the next few weeks, now that it's making itis way across the states .

As if the stock tails weren't bad enough...

Bat overlays is all I would seriously do...I mean, how can you guys say that these altezzas actually look "good" or "tasteful".

Oh well.

My bad for not making that clear. I wouldn't overlay the TYC, simply because they have the black backing.

From what I know, I could be wrong, the Altezza's have a silver/chromish backing. I would want the overlays if I got them, just not sure if they would be the right size.

It's all a matter of preference...

New ? Do the Altezza's come in black?

Talk about some really cool lookin' xBs! I really like Nilo's modified Red Genie kit. I saw it at Exposed. Nilo must have thought I was a groupie the way I was hangin' around his ride.

FYI~

those interested in Nilo's bodykit...it's actually custom made. Original bodykit is by RedGenie...but Gary Nish took the honor of molding and cutting the vents into the front bumper and side skirts with mesh inserts. It is one of a kind~ It's a real nice kit especially with the vents...

I think some black housing altezzas or some carbon fiber housing tails with an altezza look. It also depends on the color of the vehicle.

Yea man, when are they gonna release the black housing altezzas. I think those will look good. I dont want to have to buy the altezzas and paint the insides black. Hopefully these will come out soon.

oooorrrr..... you can open up the TYC's and have the black housing color matched to the box's paint....

just because it came in black doesnt mean it has to stay in black

So funny; I really thought I liked the stock ones, til I saw the install DIY for the TYC Elgante from Dj Xtraordinaire.
Dj, where'd you find these? the TYC site just says get them from dealers. How much did they run, if you don't mind me asking...

I think I like the black housing in particular, and will work nice with Blacksand. But hey, that's just me...:twisted:
