There is actually less people interested in the kit than you think. Especially for the $1000 price tag it comes with.

My buddy Greg had a silver WS6 done and it was the best looking one i've seen. For some reason, it looked even more aggressive. Not sure what company he went w/, but when he bought them, they were $1,300!

Maybe if they were VHT'd on a black T/A, but not clear on a silver one. Ugh...

I'm not a TA guy but, that looks like imho. It's really nothing more than an ill-conceived afterthought.

It's almost tolerable when the inside of the light is painted body color. I still hate the rectangular light though.

GROSS! :puke: Grosss! :puke: x8900000000000000! 98+ Firebirds & C5 Vettes have the BEST pop up head lamps since they started doing them in 82 on Firebirds and in fact for just about any GM vehicle that had them. Every Firebird since 82, C3 & C4 Vettes looked awesome with the lamps down, minute them lamps come up they look goofy as ****. But with the C5 and 98+ cars they actually spent some time to design them so they look good down but also fit the car well when their up. They nailed it on 98+ Firebirds, why you would change that I dont know, my LT1s lamps look great down, dumb as hell up
