I don't think it would look very good. The C6 lights follow the body lines, which would not match the C3.

The idea reminds me of the C3's with the Celica headlights. No matter how good the workmanship, they just didn't look quite right.

Default Actually ......

I think the C6 would benefit from aftermarket headlights styled after the C3's. They'd have to be smaller to fit in the C6's headlight housing, but they'd look more like a Corvette and less like a Viper & some other cars.

IMHO

In any way, you have to go totally custom.

You can upload your pics to a 3rd party photo hosting site like photobucket.com, and then copy the img tag from there and post it here (or any forum)

C3C6 - Doesn't suit my personal tastes, but my compliments on the boldness of that project. You really went for it!

I'm sorry but.... god that is bizzare, the best one I've seen are the baldwin motion vettes but even then I dont think I'd really want to do that.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_p-Eba66Uo

unless it was the middle one as theres plenty of vettes out there with those 2x4 box headlights which honestly I somewhat like provided theres no gap between the headlights and there angled to match the curvature of the nose otherwise it makes the front end seem kinda boxy from head on.


however I do like the extended flares on the back end of the C6 replica there though, but thats about it though although atleast I've got another model of a C3 corvette with C6 mirrors now, although I'd be really curious to see a vette, any vette with the fifth gen camaro mirrors on it instead.

So whats wrong with the C3 headlights anyway so you need to put a C6 headlights instead?, I think the look of a C3 front is what makes that car look so good.
