Default non pop up headlights

I stumbled upon this kit that I never knew of when I researched this subject last year. Its nicer looking and and a lot cheaper than what I've seen before.

Still too expensive for my budget. But if you have the money and want them, go for it! If I had that kind of money in my car budget I'd probably opt for a set of aluminum heads for my 85.

I DO NOT have the money at all. Just throwing it out there for others who have money to spend. If I had the money I'd be celebrating the motor swap that going on at my house...

On another note, They had quite a bit of interior and exterior parts for the c4

I believe so. They are located in salem oregon. I found them through ebay. I like to look at non street legal race cars for sale and I saw a c5r body that they did to a regular c5. pretty Sharp

I bought a Greenwood kit from them. The biggest piece of s%&t I have ever seen in my life. Nothing fit, panels were full of pits and bubbles, no documentation, none. The instillation kit consisted of a box of sheet metal screws. Greenwood was nice enough to give me the documentation and sell me the necessary instillation hardware. It took me six months of hard work to make that pile of crap look decent.To sum up my impression of C5 West, I wouldn't pee down their throats if their guts were on fire.
