Default Breathless Kit Almost Complete ........ (Pics Inside)

The breathless kit is comming together quite well. Im having a few issues with the driver side inner shell as the headlight opening doesnt want to completely slide all the way back as the passanger side, but im working on it.

I didnt like the way the shell's looked black, so local body shop sanded and painted. Kinda gives it that C6 Headlight look.

Here's the just 2 pics that i snapped of it the other day.

I would maybe consider it if I were able to shade them black like my car. Wouldn't work on any other color, but then you would decrease the light output.

Tough crowd. If there was one thing I would change about them it would be the rectangular shapes around the lights. To me, it doesn't seem to flow well with the softer curves of the car. But you're on to something with an alternate headlight kit for the pontiacs.

Well alot of the grief seems to be the price. I know alot of people wouldnt really want to pay almost $1000 for a headlight kit. However, after Headlight motor after headlight motor and gear after gear and headlight module and module. Hell I even let pontiac try it to fix it and it still went bad 3 months later, Thats almost what i had in repairs in parts and labor.

I think it was a great investment, and just something else that seperates me from alot of other trans ams, around here atleast, lol.

Niice. Looks good, nice and clean.

The same could be said about those Halo lights Ell Ess Won.

I think it looks like how the TA should have come from the factory.

On a black car I think those would look sweet if you could use Night Shades enough to tint them where it would be hard to tell they are on, then have them on for night.
