I think the ones from a mid 80's supra will work.

I'm sure you could mosey over to the C5 forums and find someone who will gladly swap theirs for yours (cars that is)...

No, the "Air brakes" are a thing of the past now.

The only "stupid question" a Mustang owner could ask is:

"Why didn't I buy a CHEVY in the first place"?

The gen 1 Miata Headlights were particularly stylish and were very effective nighttime airbrakes too!

Pop-up headlights mean extra weight and extra maintenance, besides acting as airbrakes on a 186-MPH car. In all seriousness, maybe you should get a C5.

I think most of us are surprised that anyone would want to switch to a less modern, less aerodynamic, heavier, more trouble prone design. Take a minute to think, other than the C5 Vette, what was the last sports car to include pop-up headlights?

Headlights??? Who needs headlights? Most Vette owners do not take their cars out in the rain or snow, so I doubt they go out at night-time either. Easy hide-away headlight mod for the C6: just paint over the clear headlight covers!

One good way for you to convert your headlights to "pop-up".....Trade it in on a C-5.or older....all the way back to 1963....
