I think they look pretty damn good, and if any of you have ever had pop-up problems you will surely understand why i've been searching for alternitaves to these damn cheap GM plastic geared pop-ups!
I know the price is absolutely ridiculous, but set that aside and let me know what you think, I think this guy has been making these for a while now.

Thats the first picture I've seen of those headlights on a 93-97 Trans Am. I think they look a lot better than the ones on the 98-02 Trans Ams too.
I think they look pretty good. I wouldnt buy them for my car, especially since they are over $1000, but I dont think they look bad on the 93-97's.
I like the stock headlights better though.

They look good, but I'd be skeptical about cutting the front bumper cover.

I hear you on that one, but I work in a body shop so i'm sure I could make it work..
I agree with the above posts, I think they look WAY better then the ls1 head lights these guys make too.
I would do this in a heart beat if they were priced around 300..

I agree with you that the ls1 conversions look terrible, but these look great to me, the way they are laid out remind me a little bit of a 90+ 300zx, which is not a bad thing for me. To me it would be about as "ricer" as going from c5 vette headlights to c6 vette headlights.
I like how these look on the C6 vettes....
Oh wait, its a factory feature.
Not so much on the T/A's

It wouldn't look so bad if either the hood was extended and the top portion of the light was cut down:

Or if some eyelids were put on:

Either way, it would begin to start looking like a Sunfire. What I don't get is why the projectors are in the center? Most cars use projectors for low beams, and reflectors (the square lights) for high beams. Low beams are located on the outside, and the high beams are located on the inside when having 4 separate lights. That way the high beams don't blind oncoming traffic as much in the case that you leave them on while oncoming cars are approaching. In this case, the way it's set up, it's as if the reflectors are supposed to be used for the low beams, which would put out worse light than the 4x6 lights that come on the car. Just doesn't make sense and really needs to be revised.
