Old news... And there are only like 1 or 2 of those headlights and custom hoods in existence, not counting the ones on the car (which is probably in a bubble somewhere). Just do a search for 1998 Firehawk headlights, or something like that.

Yep, just a concept since it was the first year of the new front clip. They didn't actually make more than 1 or 2. There's TONS of info out there... You just gotta find it.

I actually called SLP about those lights, they never went into production. I was on the phone with them a couple weeks ago about the headlights.

since there is no pop-up lights, the hood goes right across the headlights, rather around them like with the pop ups

Only thing I can think of is that Octane Motorsports has a patent of some wort on the design atm and I've seen them with a painted trim at the top to give them more of an aggressive look. I want a set, I think it saves you from the flip tops failing and it looks pretty bad *** imo. But they are over a thousand bucks with is ridiculous.

Only thing close to them though.
