Very, very nice! I'm also interested in how you will align the lights to the road.

Default Expensive mod and you wrecked the car

If you want the C7 headlight look you can easily mod whats in the C6 already and add the LED's

Remind people if they paid to have it done, there's about $800+ in headlight assemblies, then the install, body mod and refinish at a few grand
Yeah, those $5,000 headlights are just the bomb

Don't forget the Dice hanging from the inside mirror and a Bobblehead on the dash

We're you guys drinking when you came up with this brain storm

Very Cool, always liked the C6 rear, not so much the front. Like the C7 front, kind of so so on the rear. So, for me it's the peanut butter and chocolate thing-
Would be very interested in doing this mod next year-

That mod looks totally amazing! It just goes to show how hard work and dedication pays off. Put your mind to something and anything can be accomplished. Keep up the great work. I'm always looking for ideas to upgrade my Jetstream Blue C6.

Haha I love haters comments the most. You guys are awesome. In my life I choose to focus on good things and I admire those who step out of the box. If it weren't for this mentality I wouldn't have started numerous companies. I wouldn't have just bought my first real Lamborghini Murcielago. I wouldn't have given thousands of Corvette owners products that make their car more enjoyable and practical. It's the doubters and haters that been a key part of teaching me how important doing your own thing in life regardless of what others say is what separates the average from the exceptional. Keep the angry comments coming it only makes me smile more.

All the compliments are appreciated just as much guys

Just finished last primer coat. Going to test this setup for a few weeks and then mold everything including drop in headlight mounts so you won't need to weld anything. I measured these with a C7Z at the shop the other day and the angles are very close so they should be adjustable to line up fine. Worst case I will modify the housings to align and level them out as I have on a few other custom builds.

This is interesting, if it wasn't as invasive and you could just modernize the headlights without any body modifications then I think lots of c6 owners would be interested on upgrading their headlights. It's amazing how much they change the look in a good way. Messing with the body and repaint makes it not worth it in my opinion.

Oh and although I really like hidden headlights, that C3 with celica headlights looks preety cool.

You tell em Dan! Love the look. I took my z06 to VIR last weekend for the circuitcross and the ride there and back was nice and quiet with the insulation. When I got it on the track I could still hear her wailing! lol
