with filled in fog lights and a stock (non WS6) hood they might work. but it just looks too busy otherwise. i love the pre '98 T/A's for the simple, sharp look they have, and prefer them to the '98 up birds 'cause they just get too busy. fwiw.

I think it's hideous. But would look a little better tinted. Like this:

I have to agree, if the actual portion where the lights were was slimmer and where the lights are not would be painted to match the car that would be sweet.

Also maybe get them tinted dark black so it looked stock, but then you turn them on they would look pretty sweet

They would look okay tinted, but ricey otherwise! I dont like the shape of the headlights inside the assembly. $1000+ is way too much, I'd rather buy a cam or put that money towards a new wheel and tire setup.

To make this look good they would have to modify the bumper, the hood, and use 3 small round headlights instead of 1 large square and 1 small round light.

Look at the corvette c6:



Cleanly done
It should look like it came that way, not like it was some homemade overpriced kit.

I think they might be reducing prices:

Eh, not my "cup of tea". To each their own, that's my 2 cents.

They changed them in the late 90's to the exact same ones used in a 300ZX
