I think "getting" the headlights is no big deal.

cutting and reshaping the hood and fenders and front is the bigger deal.

Since you are curious, I've contacted my German source. I'll let you know, but what I do remember...VERY $$$.

Our SLC V2 headlights were the only flush-fitting bolt-on headlights available. We're currently working on the SLC V3 version which will have a more-contoured shroud, impact-modified acrylic lens to eliminate UV-related optical distortions and additional options.

Again as a former Celica owner those lights are really skinny and you need to see them from all angles on the Vette. I've seen other pictures from other angles and it looks bad. This is one of those "hot girls on facebook" moments where she only has one pic.

The way I feel about it , is that if I haven't gotten any and all recreational driving done before dark, I have screwed up. So the lights make little difference. Plus I like how the hidden lights allow the front contour to flow visually uninterrupted across the top of the fenders, one of the best, and very distinctive , aspects of the cars style , to my eye.

I don't know if the more modern light effect can be improved, but I might have used a more exotic light, to match the effort.
