Default Non-pop up pics, please!

Can one of you guys that have them post some more close-up pics? I'm expecially interested in seeing what they look like from the top down. From what I can tell, there seem to be some visible screws around the edge of the lens, want to see what these look like close up. Thanks!

Which non-pop lights are you referring to with the screws around the edge.

You should give a little more info in your post or a picture of the lights that you would like a close up of.

WOW... That really is an awesome look especially on the black...
Maybe I will be re-thinking my position on the non pop-ups.

It's not nearly as strong of an argument for exposed headlights since 41 out of the 51 production years (80.39%) have incorporated concealed (flip-up/roll-over) headlights, and the past 41 production years of "heritage" (1963-2004) have consistently been built with concealed headlights.

...kind of interesting that corvette heritage should begin in 1963...
...do you suppose people were saying that popups were a departure from corvette heritage then...

...seems corvette heritage is not to regard styling, at all, a part of what your calling corvette heritage...

Certainly, you can hold on to any part of what you think corvette heritage is...
...but I prefer to hold all the years and the rich heritage of nostalgic enthusiasm for the American cruiser...if for no other reason but that I was born in 1952...
If it were truly about styling, size, hp, et al...I wouldnt think of buying the C6...
peace

i really think i got ripped on the lights that are in mine. those specter works look waaay better. i'm thinking of removing mine and painting the inside a flat black though. what do you guys think? i'm not sure how they would look by themselves but if i added black CE strips, i think it would compliment them well. then again, the g/f wants me to just reinstall the original pop-ups.

Here again I cant say I would do this to my vette...
...but this is "onebadvette03"
It is definitely a conglomerate of stuff I might not do to mine...
...and it IS a very cool looking vette...
Id probably do something similar but it would probably look horrible

Naw! I was born before 63 too and I remember everybody talking about how cool those popups were on the new Sting Ray. Now we get rid of them. Barf!

But us old-timers know that heritage was "Route 66" and the classic C1!
