The maple really looks good in that pic 
I think they look better than any Ive seen so far.
I'm not a big fan of the non-popups myself, but those look ok to me. Maybe a little busy, cool because its different for sure. They'd be great on a show car.

Here is my attempt at an LT1 TA non-popup. I think the LT1 TA's are less busy then the LS1's so the extra flare really helps the overall look of the car...

Your onto something here:
but you just need to angle them better. get rid of that cross eye look and make them pointed more forward instead of down. I think it looks good.

theres a black ws6 in VA that has fixed headlights, and they look awesome.
kinda like the c6 vettes but they look good on a TA.
maybe someone has an actual pic?

Those would be the Breathless Performance non-popups. The fitment and quality of that $1000 dollar setup is craaaap.
That's why there is still a big demand from the 4th gen TA guys. Lots of people don't like them, but I do.
Now, heres the thing with the C6 style setup. You've got 3 lights in there. Isn't the outer light a running light on the C6?
If so, you can delete that. We've already got running lights...
That leaves is us with less clutter, and a pretty bad *** look. I'm going to see if my buddies in the local Chevy body shop can scrap up some C6 headlight parts. I know a good 10 people with setups that they made using parts from their shops.
The only problem I see, is mounting. I'm pretty good at fiberglassing, but even still. Getting a set of these to mount up and look factory isn't going to be easy. I'd love to see how Breathless has their mounting brackets/etc. setup. But then again, all it would be good for is a general idea. The fitment of that kit really is a joke.
