C5-R HEADLIGHTS, better or worse?
What is your opinion of these HEADLIGHTS? (If you have a dial-up, give it a minute, these pics are worth the wait!)
Compare to stock!
More pics.
MMMMmmmmm!

Specter Werkes had another set of non popup headlights that look alot better for sale. They look like C5R headlights. These look bad to me. There is another thread going on right now in general that shows them.

I've never really liked their bug-eye headlights even though I know Jeff and company at SW and have spent a pretty penny on a custom body kit from them. (I'm glad I did it).
They were good natured about my dislike for their headlights...no problemo. They liked their hood better than mine.
I do like the look of the C5R headlights better. Would like to see a set in person though.

I think the real C5R highlights are better, not a fan of the SW bug-eye lights. The Breathless ones on Snowman's car look nice too. :cool:

Well, I guess I am one of the few that likes those, altough the C5R look alike (from the yellow car) are better looking IMO.

Don't like the first set of pics - kind of looks like a Mitsubishi IMO. The second ones are very nice. There are many CF mebers that have them. BPP sells them for $1300 or so but I also remember an owner who posted some problems with their fitting - it just didn't work right. There were issues with light height and soemehing else. I think he was a CA owner - don't remember the poster but maybe he'll read this and reveal.
Finally, you have to paint them to match the car color. Sometimes paint just doesn't match the same (not to mention typical Post Factory Paint issues) and if you have an eye for those things like I unfortunately have, it will bug the crap out of ya.
