It looks alright on the black ws6, but the pewter v6 is just ugly. I wouldn't mess with a t/a's styling like that.

Would look a lot better on a black one with VHT nightshades so it looked like it was just all black. Massive weight savings, more aerodynamic because it doesn't have gaps for the air to go into, and a LOT more aerodynamic when the lights are on. But yeah, a grand for it, that sucks.

Hopefully it'll go a little more mainstream and then the price will go down.

I agree it doesn't look THAT bad on the black, but that camel color it looks really bad. It just totally defys the law of flip up headlights on trans ams and it makes grown man jesus cry.

They'd look really nice in the garbage. The pop ups are still way cool in my opinion.

I'm surprised some of you hardcore drag racers aren't embracing this. The headlight motors are what, like 40lbs total someone was saying in another thread? These weight probably 5lbs total...

They would look better if they were blacked out.

It's just sad. it's just like when the corvettes lost their flip ups everyone was like WTF. I just hope soneone wouldn't do that to their trans am. I mean i'm all about trying new things but i'll have to agree they would look better blacked out. But i would never do it
