watch what yer saying, there, Iso:
my '82 will get offended.


While I'd never advise a C3-owner to put ricer head-lights in his car, this front-end looks better than most custom '68-'82 Corvettes:
at-least the shape of the lights "flow" with the general body-lines the General gave them.

I think it would like great with smaller headlights. The celica lights are just too big and bulky.

No I do not have pics i am in the process of doing the bodywork and I am now at the point to start fabracating the lights in. They are form a 90-96 300zx here is a photoshop that was done a while back when I posted about this. The photoshop does not look bad but once it is done in the car I think It will look alot better. The z lights almost fit in the origianl openings. I will post pics when I get them in. I am going to try to fab them in like the Lamborghini head lights

Yes that is a real Lamborghini picture. The kit cars use the same zx lights so I figure what the hell why not be different and try it
