YesI could have done that. I was also thinking of doing that. However, I found a guy selling a pair of rare/hard to find black/clear lense headlights, with the TS grille, and the SLP lower grille all for under $100. I wasn't going to pass on that deal.

The headlights arrived today in the mail. Wetsanding and a good compound/polish will have these looking much better. Not bad for $40



Oh yeah a little off topic but belongs to the car. I found my SS cluster for me to send to BBE:

Looks awesome! You beat me to the idea of molding the front filler to the bumper lol I thought of that last year while I was living in Florida. & I'm soooo jealous that you found headlights with the cleared corners! I can't find those suckers anywhere =(

VERY VERY Nice... I was gonna do that as well but my skills are not quite up to par , so I passed on it and am buying the F1 front air dam, it doesnt have a plate at all as well. Do you have pictures of your car now, finished? Id love to see how the LOWER grill looks.I want to put one on my Red Monte as well as the upper but I havent found the lower grill. Where do they sell them? Id Love them lights you got as well as the others, LOVE the clear sides, Is that Custom, or aftermarket? love the way you are going as well. ill post pics of mine when Im done with a couple more projects, (just painted my rims, the stars Black like the Dale Jr wheels, tons of masking ..) Thanks... MJ

Wow Great deal on the parts, the project is coming along great. Glad your car is red so I can tell how it would all look on my car.

The headlights were only sold for like a year something before switching to amber reflector black headlights. These were an aftermarket product made for our cars. The SLP grilles can be had here:

You might also be able to find them on ebay *** well. I know you can find the upper for sure.

The grilles should be painted very soon so I can get you all an update on the appearance.
