Actually, they don't look too bad. To me they don't stand out as being "ricey", as they aren't all that distinguishable from the stock lights to regular observers. But regarding the hood -- is that a stock chev hood or is that a ram air from a TA? Sorry if this sounds like a lame *** question.

Just don't get the g@y @ss tail lights. Not that there is anything wrong with being gay, just having the lights.

The lights look clean, much cleaner than the stock.

And I personally (unlike some people on here) do not consider BMW's and their headlights to be rice.

Couldn't have said it better myself

IMO, the car looks out of balance. None of the lines match now. It just doesn't flow very well, IMO. If your going to keep the TA hood, I would think about changing your spoiler. Something just a little bit higher. I think that would help even out the rear with the front. I don't think the Halos are rice either. IMO they look great at night, but off centered during the day.

How come none of these posts are showing up? Prior to my post, it said someone posted a new reply at 3:46PM today, yet the last reply was WTB02SSM6 at 9:26PM on the 4th?

Edit: ...Of course my post shows up...

I had to get halo's after my stock lights had scratches from the covers and seen the price of new stock ones. I am glad I did, they make the front end look so much better. As for people saying the ground fx look rice, my car came from GM with the ground fx, so can't see why that could even be thought as rice. One thing that made me get my Z28 was the ground fx and since I did the LT headers the car scrapes slightly at work, so the ground fx keep the car looking lower without lowering it.

Default Halo's

I installed Halos simply because they were half as cheap as the price of new GM ones and function and fit perfectly.


and dont ask if its ricey...make up your own mind on ricy-ness...its your car....

Rice rice, all I ever here from people is rice. The only way to turn our cars into rice, is to put chinese letters on them and put a coffee can size exhaust pipe on them.
I like those headlights, forget what anyone else thinks, go for it, I bet you get alot of people dumping you on the hood.

My girlfriend was thinking about buying me headlights for my birthday so I am not sure which one she will buy.

I'm always getting compliments on my hood, also, I'm getting a set of the halo's but with the weather up here, I only have about an other 3 weeks before I have to store it for the winter. So this spring,
