I hvae seen it odne on a c-5 and it didnt really look like it was ment to be there. Personally I think the pop-up headlights look better on our cars, than the other ones do.

I've seen it done before. It's VERY expensive, but looks killer.

Here's a pic...

It cost over $5k. You could probably get a supercharger for the price of this fabrication. Here's the only other pic I have of it







I've also seen fixed lights from a newer Acura NSX fabricated to a C5. Again, very cool and one of a kind, but VERY expensive.

bumper/hood/fender paint work. Plus the cost of the unit(s) themselves.....plus HID if you choose that route. Not cheap.... i'd rather steal a C6.
