Default Trans Am headlight conversion

I know the general consensus says they are fugly, but I think those headlight conversions (that replace the popup headlights in the TA) might look half way decent with some headlight shades.

Does anyone have a picture of these mods with shades? Preferably on a black TA with black shades?

I don't think that anyone makes shades/protective covers for the non pop-up style headlights. Ive got those lights on my car, but it's an NBM ta, not a black one. I'll see what I can scrounge up as far as pictures though.

FYI-I hear if you crack one of those lens its like well over $100 for just one lens and the workmanship is subpar at best, for over $1k you would expect better, IMHO

Yep, the prototypes were good. The ridiculously expensive ones you can actually get look kinda dumb.
