Thank you. It is SOM, but with an optional Glasurit clear coat that adds durability and 35% more gloss.
I don't know the specifics, but my little Bro does use a top-of-the-line Canon digital SLR camera with a special lens that I don't know the name of. He makes it a hobby to take professional-style photos.

Yes, they came with bulbs. I think they were only a little brighter than stock. I only bought these headlights, because my factory ones were starting to fog up and these headlights looked subtle and tasteful enough to replace them. Not to mention, they were the latest and greatest recommended halos in this forum.

I do have to warn you that, yes, the shop does good work and they take pride in it. However, they move slow in getting your car in and getting your car out. I think they took my car in during the second week of October after telling my little Bro twice to come back (during a three-week period), because the shop's best workers were either out sick or in vacation.
Although I told them to take their time so that they can get everything perfect, my little Bro didn't get the car back until December 9! It's a good thing I had my GTO and my Bro had Mom's Lexus and Z06 to daily drive, but, yes, I do recommend them and I will be back there someday soon when it's time to get my GTO painted.
The shop manager's name is Ernie and he can be reached at 609-965-7850. Tell him that Chummie, the guy with the orange Camaro, recommended his shop.

I really like how they look on your SOM z28. Trying to decide how I would like them on my MMM Z28. Im trying to decide between going smoked headlights and smoked bumper lights or doing chrome and clear on both. I really can't decide I like both
Also where are those z28 badges from? Emblempros?

and it matches your price.
Monterey Maroon Metallic is an awesome color and would have been the color I ordered for my car, but I was too sold on SOM back in the day.
In my opinion, your choice between clear and smoked (turn signal and side marker lights included) should be determined by your wheel finish. If you have aluminum, polished, or chrome wheels, then clear or even smoke will work well.
If you have black wheels, then smoke or even black housings will be the way to go.
I would just stick with the factory rear bumper lights though or at least go with the European factory ones if you wanted to look different. Otherwise, the aftermarket style looks far from subtle.
This is all in my humble opinion, of course.
And, yes, the emblems are from emblempros.com.

Im thinking these
http://www.amazon.com/Spec-D-93-01-C...2518926&sr=1-1
or
http://www.amazon.com/SPYDER-Chevy-C...2518926&sr=1-2
and yes those are the headlights I found. They look good on your car and are a nice subtle difference from the stock bug eyes. plus halos are pretty cool looking. Do you like yours in general?

You can buy the headlights with the turn signal lights as a package from the same seller. That might save you a few bucks.
Also, I did have a minor problem with my aftermarket driver's side headlamp. Moisture would come in and fog up the housing. Therefore, I asked the body shop to seal it up with a recommended sealant. When you get yours, I would take the necessary precaution to add some type of sealant to all of your aftermarket housings.

Thank you again. At first glance, the shop manager said that the spoiler looked good and should be a straightforward installation, but later on, he said that the spoiler needed only minor fiberglass work to even it out. I don't know. lol I think he was just trying to be a perfectionist.
I do have to warn you that, yes, the shop does good work and they take pride in it. However, they move slow in getting your car in and getting your car out. I think they took my car in during the second week of October after telling my little Bro twice to come back (during a three-week period), because the shop's best workers were either out sick or in vacation.
Although I told them to take their time so that they can get everything perfect, my little Bro didn't get the car back until December 9! It's a good thing I had my GTO and my Bro had Mom's Lexus and Z06 to daily drive, but, yes, I do recommend them and I will be back there someday soon when it's time to get my GTO painted.
