I think RKSport had those headlights a while back for $1000. I dont know if they still have them. Afterthoughts Auto or one of the other sponsors may also have it.

As for how it looks... I'm not sure. It looks ok. It would look better if the inner part was painted body color. The price is a major deterrent though. I'd rather do a HID conversion on the pop-up headlights.

I like it also. I seen it done once where it was the same color as the car and had the clear plastic removed. Looked much better

I like it because it eliminates the need to have those always so faulty headlight motors..

It would look KILLER on a black car and even more KILLER with the lense tinted black.

I like the look without the plastic lens also. It has that 79 TA look to it without the lens.

I like them. If (God forbid) I ever need to replace the front end, I'll go with these lights. $1000 is a lot of money, but it's comparable to what it would cost to replace the 2 stock headlight assemblies anyway...

I don't like them at all. While the headlight motors are a pain, I much prefer the look of the headlight covers. I always liked the LS1 4th gen lines, curves and monochromatic look which is broken up by the headlights and the different shaped bulbs. But hey, it's just one guy's opinion.
