Default T/A non-flip headlight

I did a search and couldnt find anything, sorry if this is talked about a lot. I am looking for the kit that deletes the headlight motors and makes non-flip up headlight. I saw a T/A with those headlights drive by and I was wondering where do you get them and does anyone have pics of them installed. Do you guys like them or not. Any info or opnions welcomed. Thanks

Breathless Performance makes them. Not worth it IMO at $1K

Here's a pic of one kit that I painted for a guy with a Collector Edition:




I believe he said it was made by Octane Motorsports.

i wouldn't, people love to "redo" their cars, they change every aspect of the vehicle and i think thats stupid, the flip up headlights are what gives trans am's that killer look, cars look mean as hell when the headlights aren't visible, .. my proof? ever seen a black mustang with smoked headlights? ever see a black monte carlo with smoked headlights?

I'm about to undertake making a custom set myself. The peace of mind not having to worry about the lights not going up or grinding when they go down, the weight reduction, and the fact that they suck IMO as lighting as my new ones will be HID lows.

I love the look of my T.A without the flip-ups I spent the thousand dollars because i like to drive fast at night and dragrace after dark
I think it adds personality to the front

i dont think popped up headlights will slow you down enough to notice anything at any speeds achieved on a public road or race track...
