And like I said be honest on your opinion, some will like my car and some will not. It's all about people prefrences.




Those look absolutely GREAT!!! I really like them.

I like the idea of non-pop-up lights. What I don't like is the fact that they are not in contour with the rest of the front end. I would rather stay with the crappy stock lighting, or put in pop-up HID's (ACA, etc...) then go with the non-pop-up lights such as the depo lights.

LAVette's car looks GOOD with the setup he has, but I think the hood helps a lot. It's just a preference statement.

If you like 'em put 'me on. Don't really much matter what I think on the subject.

If the C6 had this style of headlight, it wouldn't look like a Viper.

Wonder how they'd look in black.

I'd rather duct tape Maglight flash lights to my hood than use some of the ones I've seen.

I really think the "Pop-Up" lights are not only cool but look great too

The non-pop up lights reminds me of foreign and if I wanted that, I would of bought a Porsche Just my .02

They offer a decent and relatively cheap weight savings, and actually look pretty good in black or body colour - IF you can find a supplier with the black ones in stock, that is.

I have had 3 sellers charge me and then not ship the lights after a month.

Took some wrangling, but I did get my refunds.

I have not seen one that has superior fit & finish for that alone I'll pass but I do like the look it's growing on me fit & finish is crapy though

I don't think it's so much the hood, but that he painted them as others said. I plan on getting a set real soon, I've loved them ever since the C5R racer first came out, I hate pop-up headlights!
