The hood is modified.... front bumper.... front quarter....etc..etc...
I'd hate to see the cost on putting those on.

I'm doing a similiar conversion right now as well with the same year celica headlights (cooler looking ones tho)

The amount of work to get them to look 100% is grueling and extensive.

From a straight on shot from the front you could probably see how thin the lights are. Its like girls who take the security cam photos to hide everything else

They cover far too much real estate and detract from the C5's originally intended body shape/design, etc. Not for me.

Don't shoot the messenger Mark, just showing what's out there across the pond.
Not my cup of tea either.

If my choice was those or the frogs the Celica lights would win every time!
I do prefer the stock look though.

I think they look pretty sweet! IDK that I would do the mod, but possibly...I guess I'm old school in that I like my pop-up lights but those look way better than the other fixed lights.

my vote...............i don't care for them. i guess i'm just too old school (at age 70, lol), got used to all corvettes having hidden headlights, lol. i'm not much of a fan of the japanese or european styling and was disappointed when the C6 seemed to be trying to mimic that in some way when it was introduced. kind of like those that added fixed lights to the C3 way back, lol. just my opinion, but it screws up the styling and the lines of the car.
