unique cars
I just watched a program on tv called unique cars.And on the show this gentlemen had many cars and one was a new black c6 vert but he had the lights changed on the car to flipup lights and it looked very nice.So if you have the money you can do just about anything to your car you want.

I'd love to see pics of that!! IMHO the C6 should have kept the flip up lights tradition but we won't start that argument again. The C6 is still a good looking vette though.

After owning eleven Corvettes over the last thirty years I've about had my fill of flip-ups. The C5s are more reliable than the C3s vacuum system and the C4s, for that matter...but they're still prone to motor and gear failures.
I welcome the change and look forward to having better lights without the extra flip-up hardware when I get a C6.

Would like to see how those lights worked and looked. Probably would be a lot of interest in something like that if at a decent price.

I don't think they'll ever satisfy the Corvette membership.

Lines that don't flow, side scoop from a late model mustang only turned around backward, choppy angularity all over.....I'm waiting for a C7, will never own a C6, even if its technically more advanced...I just think is it so bad looking... BUT!..... To each their own! Glad you like it....Hope you can buy several to help the factory fund the design work on the C7, which I hope they do correctly. Just ribbing you......Cheers..
