Fixed headlights? (LeMans L88 style)
I know there are lots of posts about fixed headlights...but mine is a little different. I've always enjoyed the look of the LeMans L88 fixed headlights. Where can I get them?

back in '98 i contacted a vette specialty shop in upstate NY.. they wanted $1k for the set-- that was just the clear covers. for that much money, they had better been the originals off the actual race car. i never called them back for an order.

Re: Fixed headlights? (rainman69)
I just happen to be customizing and installing a set right now. It's way too hot in the garage, but I've had too much of a break on my project, so I just keep sweatin' and scratchin'. :D I wasn't going to post this little project just to keep from offending the more "corvette correct" in the crowd ;) but what the heck, I'll try to get some pitures up on my websight tonight.
I don't know if they'll still sell them separate or not, but I bought the bubbles (clear) only from Guldstrand. I'm making my own light buckets, and well, you'll see...
Glad to see there are still some gutsy customizers out there. :D

Re: Fixed headlights? (VETDRMS)
The interesting thing I noticed when I was checking out the pictures of the AIR cars...was that there were no fender flares on the original race cars...
Check it out!
*Edit* -- Is it just me, or does it look like the #44 car has a ZL-1?

Rainman - You are right. The headlight covers were the only approved item for compettion in 1968. '69 was the year for fender flares and aluminum blocks. :cheers:
