I am sure you have heard of the black headlight covers, I am not recommending those, but there is a company that makes clear ones, so that it gives your headlights a much cleaner look...I will look for the company and pics for you

Here you go, I know in the picture they dont look clear, but they are crystal clear just like ls1 style headlights, and you can also remove that little "GTS" sticker...trust me its like a face lift on lt1 Camaros

I bet it would also look if you painted the headlight housing the same color as the car and had those covers on.....kinda like the C6 Corvettes headlight are....

You can always do the hella 90mm headlight conversion. Some like it and some dont - But anyways heres a picture of my car with the hella 90mm. They are 100% better at night over the stock ones. It's also very easy to do this conversion. It will set you back to about 300.00 thow -

I agree those clear covers look really nice...and the idea of painting the headlight housing body color then adding the clear covers sounds like it would look real good too.
