Default what do you think of this...

ok so i was bored and i was looking through some vids on youtube and found this one of a red lt1 camaro with head light covers and the owner did his version of "eye lids" on them, thought it looked pretty cool...so i found a pic of a white lt1 camaro, like mine, with head light covers and went at it with paint...let me know wut you think...i think it looks kool and adds a bit more of an aggresive look to the front..and by the way whoever owns this car i love it!

Do it.. I like it with the "eye lids". Never seen them look good on LS1's but the LT1 style looks more modern. Nice improvement.

looks aerodynamic!

buy the shades and slap some white vinyl on it - if it looks good keep the vinyl or paint it, if not just keep the shades on

i dunno if i like them or not but then again i have never been a fan of the head light covers on LT1's...... but it's your car and it would be something different.... if you do it post some after pictures to show what it looks like in real life and not a MS paint pic....hahaha

Just get the clear lenses and "eyelid" them body color. I think that would look great.

The best thing to do here is do it, be innovative, and prove all your nay-sayers wrong. Make it look so good people want to buy that **** off you.

It happens too. 6litereater is this forum's shining example.
