I think they are a little tacky. I think painting them looks 100% better and saves you $100.

I' m not a fan of them. I won' t say that they are ricey, BUT an awful lot of ricers use halo lights. I prefer the look of the stock headlights with the Whistler Mod. I' m going to do the Whistler mod myself when I get another pair of headlights.

Z28-CTYHNTR, I' ll add to your long list of compliments by saying that I' ve never liked maroon cars......until now! Very nice, and while I prefer the Whistler modded headlights, I would definitely take your car if you wanted to give me a Christmas present!

I love how Z28-CTYHNTR managed to keep the stock spoiler and still make it look good.

They look very nice not rice! I think what ever you can do to differentiate yoursel from the hundreds of other Camaro is a good idea, as long as it is not too gaudy. In this case I think they look sweet. Go for it!

It' s not the shape of the headlamp case that interupts the lines of the hood. It' s the placement of the halo itself, being inline with the ripple of the hood. I know they don' t have much room to work with, but perhaps they would look better (to those of us not partial to them) if the inside edge of the halo were inline with the hood line, instead of the apex.

I think they look ricey...especially if they aren't true euro lights....the ones that look like a true three light set but are really cut outs to mount over your existing two piece light set

I don't think Halos are ricey, but Altezza tail lights are full-blown RICE. Personally, I like painted stock headlights over Halos.

I agree. Painted (Whistler Mod) takes a couple hours looks nice and cost $3.92 for a can of paint. I would sport Halos if I wasn't so cheap.

I have them, I wish I got some new headlights and did the whistler mod though... and it's not the rs kit that looks bad on your car, it's the hood, in my opinion that is.
