Default Breathless Kit COMPLETE !!!!!!!!!!

I posted some spy pics a few weeks ago. Well the kit and car is complete. I love this kit. There are some things I'm not real crazy about, but I really like it over the stock setup. I'll try to get some lighted pics in the next few days.

Hope you guys enjoy.

It looks really cool especially since the paint inside has been matched. Just don't forget to wipe your nose

to be honest I dont really like it but if it makes you happy thats all that matters. I think its because the lights inside are too boxy looking. they could have done so much better with the design

I wonder if you can rig up a sensor like in the camaros, so you can have automatic on/off headlights. That would be badd-*** with those lights.


I really, really like how that looks. I think it's because you had the housings color matched.

i like the idea of these things and they look good on your car i find that they dont look as good on darker colord cars. there are just 3 things i dont like about them

1. the projectors are not done right in my opinion if the projectors wuld have been done more stock looking i wuld prolly love them
2. i dont like the screw things on the bottom of the lights
3. have you seen the price of them!

Yep, I did it myself. Stock lights pop up and down depending on the ambient light.

Projectors? Look closer, there are no projectors. They are LT1 style headlights and universal fog light. Both of which are dimmer than the stock lights.

Looks good with the color matched housing. I painted a set for a CETA model a few months ago:

How would you even put HID's into those LT1 camaro lights? Is there a conversion housing the same size?
