Default Trans Am Head Lights

Hey everyone, I am thinking about getting a WS6 trans am, but I can not get over those pop up head lights...are there any aftermarket lights that would look more like a corvette head light.

I think a more molded fixed set of front head lamps would make this car look even better than it already does.

Yeah i have looked around, and I agree, the kits are like 1100 too....way to much money.

The motor mount on the LS4's are shaped like an H, so when you rotate it 90 degrees the engines lateral motion is pulling on the more solid part of the rubber bushing, and not the two open ends.

This allows for less movement of the engine during acceleration. I didn't think it was going to work, but I tried it, and sure enough better performance at all types of driving, WOT, DIG, etc.

The full poly kit works even better, but its like $50+ and you have to buy 2.

If you want exposed headlights, buy a Camaro.
