Yeah if they had high and low beam projectors or just circular lights, it would look better for sure, same way with the LS1 kits

Yea but Firebirds/Trans Ams look better than Camaros. If I were to ever buy those (hypothetically speaking) I would throw a couple sets of projectors and hids in there and ditch those things they threw in there. But I would never pay 1k for somethinglike that.

To you they look better to me they look over done and I think of them as a chick's car. That's why it's called PERSONAL taste because we all see it differently.

Well I wouldn't do it. But it would atleast look better if the top half is painted (black in this case) like some are saying. But then again, it would look like camaro lights. Someone should photoshop paint on it to get an idea. First look at it is horrible, needs to be tweaked.

I can't tell whether I like em or not. Kind of remind me of the C6 headlights. But the plastic does go too far up, that looks like crap.

LOL yall are going to **** when you see mine done.

Breathless non pop-up kit. Reworked/fiberglassed of course, with a set of C6 projectors. I found these projectors w/ the chrome ring around them to look the cleanest. That square light that comes with the kits is GAY. The look is completely killed by that shitty light arrangement.

I'll be smoking the clear lenses as well, for a more sleek look. Should be done in a few months. I need to find a left side C6 headlight assembly, then pull that one apart as well.

Pop ups suck. But personal oppinion, is just that. Regardless, I'll be the only one around with a $2K headlight setup Probably just for that reason.

You guys will have to wait till spring to see the finished project.

I am gonna have to agree with this guy. I'm not even the type who like alterations/modifications to the BODIES of our fbodies but I think the look is clean, flush, and would be better than the huge pop-ups that LT1 birds like mine have. At the same time, 1K for this would put this last on my list for mods.
