Default Tilt nose C3

Is anyone aware of a kit to make a tilt-nose on a C3 and maintain the pop up headlights? I’ve seen the kits for the tilt-nose but it requires the flush mounted headlights. I'm not a big fan of the flush headlights.

don't know if anyone still makes the kit,and like you all i ever saw was the flush mount lights,which i don't like either. i never saw a tilt "job" that looked right.i always thought that someone had wrecked their vette and elected to use the tilt option instead of returning it to the original configuration.on several i saw the lower portion of the front fender,between the wheel opening and door,that the tilt piece "sat on" was loose,flimsy and vibrated when the engine was running.

I never considered it. But reading your post made me think...can the parts off a wrecked C4 be useable to fab a tilt front on a C3?
