Trans Am/Firebird Fixed Headlights How many Firebird/Trans Am owners are interested in the fixed headlights from Breathless Performance? I know the price is a bit steep but has anyone tried getting them to do a group buy?
I know alot of people don't like the look or the fact that they are non pop-ups. You are completely entitled to your opinion, I respect that. So please respect this thread and only post if you are interested in buying the lights if the price were right. If you want to talk trash or say how much you don't like them or complain about them...please make your own thread. I hope I didn't offend anyone by stating that.
Thanks,
Joshua

Well, one thing that is nice about this is the price is offset if you are doing a front-end upgrade to an older f-body, as you don't have to buy the popup stock headlights if it uses all new mounts as they do on the C4 setup...
I am just wondering if it is possible to somehow tint or smoke the covers to make them look black, and then just upgrade the lamps inside to be much brighter?
For a black car that would just look phenomenal...

One thing I would like to mention after looking at thier video on installing these, is I am disappointed to see that they do not include the proper weatherpack connectors and expect you to cut wires and use cheap crimp connectors... Hell they could have used sealed crimp connectors at least, but the 'proper' way would be to include weatherpaks... Especially for the price of the kit...

even though the price of the kit is outrageous, i could see how it could be an option to a non-do it yourself type. the flip ups on my car have messed up twice but i replced them with a brass gear instead of the plastic. the dealership charges upwards of $300 for just one light and they will still use the stock plastic gear that will eventually strip again.

Yeah I agree...I don't know if they would go real low...I really don't think they would even venture towards $300. It would be nice no doubt but I don't see it happening. I just wanted to see if there was some way to get a group buy going or something, and to see how many are interested out there.
Thanks for the feedback guys.

Well...I just got an email back from a guy named Erin @ Breathless Performance and he said that the price is most likely gonna go up next year thanks to rising prices from the light company and gm. Oh well...it was a thought.lol

I agree...I did the front end upgrade to a 2002 firehawk front end, and want these headlights, but the $$$ is steep...
I think they look best on a black car, since the housing recess is black...If I do get a pair, I'm gonna look into painting the inside of them just like the body...and possibly night shading the lens, but I would convert to HID, and then that would defeat the purpose....So I doubt I will do the nightshade mod, or some form of tint...Kinda up in the air when I see cars with a blackout over a MAIN SAFETY part of the car for night driving....
Like you guys I would definately be in for a lower price no doubt about it. I think $500 would be fair...somoene else needs to replicate their own setup to force them down due to competition!! Hell even include weatherpak's and your already one up on them!!! LOL

Do a search on the quality of these kits. Everyone who has them has nothing but bad things to say about them.
Most people end up dumping lots more $$$ into the setup to make it half decent.
Believe me, I want non-popups more than any one else on here. I hate the factory pop ups with a passion.
Back in the day, I new a way to get 10% off. The kit is just not worth the aggravation unfortunately.

Good luck on getting a cheaper price. Back in the summer I offerred them 100 bucks less than thier asking price and they wouldn't even budge. If thier attitude was even decent, I was going to pay the full price. However, they know they have the only one of a kind and you're going have to pay the price. This was thier attitude when I spoke with them last summer. However, if you get them to lower thier price significantly, I would consider it. Hopefully, your negotiating skills are much better than mine. Good luck.
