From GMPartsHouse, they are around $900. The price varies about $10/$15 depending on color and left or right. $900 for a headlight assembly is just ridiculous!!!!!!

I have a set of Spectar Werks as mentioned earlier....and yes it will leave a mark on your AE Card.

Beautiful worksmanship, no problems so far, had 'em for about a year now. Ordered from manufacturer directly same price, but was able to get body colored rings instead of chrome.

I've had mine for 2 years now and they are holding up great. I can still buy them wholesale if interested PM me.

I may also sale mine since I'll be installing a set of angel eyes on a set of black for my car. Hadn't made up my mind to store them or sell em.




Next Project for myself.

No more or less tacky than CF headlight assemblies...at least that is my feedback. I'd rather just get a different color.

I do like the CF top on the ZR1 though and would like to see an all-CF Corvette someday.
