really? I literally laughed out loud when I saw it. They couldn't design it any better? Looks like the car has eyes that are hanging down like these:

There is a C5 in my area with those lights. They actually don't look bad.

All I can say is they give a look that I do not want on my car.

That is not a C5. Or even a Corvette for that matter.

I figured it was a joke after your reply. Though those headlights do bear a strong resemblance to Radioflyer's headlights. Paint the shrouds chrome and other than the turn signal, it would be hard to tell it apart.

Those look nothing like Radioflyer's headlights, which are flush and don't ruin the body lines. These are your classic Depo frog eyes. I wish someone could make a fixed headlight that's actually flush that's in the $500 range.

Was referring to the NSX lights.

Also, Radioflyer is expensive for a reason. The HID projector system used is about $250 a pair, so $500 just for the quad projectors.
