If that is a one piece tilt front end, I would ask GrandSportC3 on how his is set up.

Hey Wacked-Ever heard the saying, "Opinions are like buttholes....."? Well, that saying applies here. I don't think it looks too bad. You have a tilt front end, and to be honest, I think it's going to take alot of work to get the car back to stock. What do you have in regards to a working system right now?

I like it but as you can see from my signature my headlights have been glaassed over. Most people do not even notice unless you point it out. Do what you like as it is your car. I Personally think that a vette looks ugly with lights up. My $0.02

[I would leave it like that. It looks good and custom is not a bad thing. ]
I don't think it looks bad at all (unless you are talking about the stuff on the hood :) ). The mechanicals on the original headlights are just more maintenance and add quite a bit of weight. Just think, you are right in line with what the designers of the C6 were thinking! :D

Theres headlights in there now, theres only one per side.
I'm kicking around the idea of puting 2 small round ones in each corner.

I think in terms of effort and dollar$$$$ you are better off leaving it the way it is but make a nice custom (ie non-ricer) grill and you will have a nice vette with smooth lines.
Z-Man what wheels do you have?
Are they bolt on or did you need spacers?
How about the tire size too.
Thanks.
