Love the pipes. Gotta tell ya though, the headlights just don't do it for me. Reminds me of the plastic old people used to put on their furniture.

For a street rig, I would keep the flip ups, but if your on your way to a road race clone, its a great start.

Gorgeous paint, the pipes are nice.

But...why the headlights?

well everyone's got there own opinion. i recently got into liking the road race cars and love the way the headlights look. they just seem to flow with the car . it also gets rid of a ton of wieght and overcomplicated mechanisms. i'm a minimalistic person so if there is something that can be simplified i'll try and do it. i want to eventually make it like a replica. i want to add flares and put a metal front air damn and maybe a paint scheme like an old racer

I think the headlights are cool. Stick with what "you" like

I thinks its something similar to being along the lines of keeping the body lines clean & unchanged I suppose. Im also a minimalist, when it comes to mods that change the body appearance. I usually like 'em more stock. Not just Vettes, but most old muscle. Usually prefer the OEM body lines.

But after that, Im all for mods that improve the performance, comfort & drivability. Lower, faster, lighter, wider, louder, meaner........Just dont mess with the body lines or screw the interior over.

Not my cup of tea, but it's your vette so do what makes you love it more.
