I like option 3 the best and am willing to spend some cash on them as well as ZL. As far as the picture above me goes, I want something plug and play, not super mod like that. Looks cool, but not for me.

If you can get option 3 produced, and in let's say in the 500 dollar range, I think you would have a hit man.

Forgot to say, I'd take option 3 from the original post if it were offered. My other post was just to throw out ideas. There are 0 options for us 93-97 Camaro guys unless you want do do all the legwork and research yourself. I imagine this proposed idea would sell well here and ebay.

What would be your ideal setup? I have no problem with an opinion but looking for comments on what people WOULD want.

I already told you a few posts earlier.. the 3rd option of your list, keeping the rectangle housing look, etc.

Not anything worth mentioning. Finalizing the 93-97 Firebird kit for sale and will get past the conceptual stuff on the Camaro kit. Have a few appointments scheduled with local camaro owners to start mock up.

Like anything else, these aren't for everybody and I have no idea what the price will be. First step is to build them to my standards and see what they cost and try to minimize this as much as possible.

Some people believe quality lighting is as important as good brakes and we know how much those cost for any quality aftermarket setup. To each their own.

The LS1 headlights in the buckets look good in that picture but I'd be interested in seeing more pictures. People were trying to get ahold of the guy who did it but he never got back but maybe once and didn't offer any other information...

I'd hate to hack up my front bumper if it didn't look good. Either way, I would likely be down if they didn't look goofy and were around ~$500.

Very interested but want to keep the rectangular housings no matter what. They are a trademark of the LT1 car and fit it perfectly. Can't stand the round BS conversions people do. Those LS1 headlights look like dog s**t. If you make this kit and it looks good, count me in.

OPTION #3 please

Good feedback. Still working on this so I will keep everyone posted when I have something significant enough to report. Guess you could say I'm more of a planner before I fire the machine shop up.

I agree. Something like that would look awesome.

Here's a rough photoshop.

It's a little warped, but you get the idea.

I always thought our headlight cavity was shaped kinda like late model supra's. Maybe if I can find a decent pic to work with, i'll shop one together.

IMO I can't stand the lt1 headlights, i'd be willing to pay $500 for a good set. I can't believe there's no aftermarket for them. I'm sure there's got to be a huge market.

What you posted above is something I would very much like to do. I think finishing off the headlight area would look really nice while working with the wedge shape of the front end.

I have a couple different ideas that I'm working on for this and will keep the everyone posted.

I'm up in the air about the clear cover idea.. I think I like the headlight buckets the way they are rather than covering them.

Covering looks alright, but I agree with others and having the bucket looks alot better.
