I want to get the newegg ones and snag an extra set of stock headlight brackets to see if I can get those to fit right... then I am going to get the Optilux Angel Eyes again...

Regardless of the issues, I do want to convert to 5000K HID, and I still am not sure if I want to go with Black Headlights w/ clear corners or go with the projectors...

Either one coupled with a set of the good, original carbon fiber Alteezas, will do quite a bit for looks, though, I still might keep my stock tails, apply some coats of niteshades, and switch to LEDs.

Niteshaded altezzas look cool. Cause it covers the ugly and you get the smooth tail light look.

Oh, and I saw a set of the Projectors on an SE here in Rockford two weeks back...

I can see why people want them for GTs and GTPs, but an SE? dumb...

I agree... especially with the carbon fiber ones...

I left that part out because GP Alteezas without niteshades =

I cant see the pic you posted.

If I were to get a set of altezzas and not niteshade them, it would be the carbon fiber ones. The chrome ones are horrible.

you talking about the SE post? I was talking about the projectors... and I edited post to reflect that fact...

It was a silvermist one, and I think it had the ugly duckling nose, but I could be wrong...

I loled as well, but come on. I do believe that installing headlights wrong is impossible for anyone cept the female species to do. Seriously.

Rebel, I thought you posted a pic for some reason. I get thrown off when someone posts and I cant see pics. Plus the fact you silly pregen owners buy your way into 97-03 models, but only stick to Special Editions, and 40th anniversary editions. So when I see you or raregmfan say SE, I think Special Edition. I didnt know you meant the actual SE.

yeah, yeah... sorry...

Oh, and I didn't know I fit the stereotype until I read that RareGMFan had gotten his 01 Special...

I guess it is along the lines that we had to deal with everybody having a 2nd gen while we had a 1st gen, so we feel more "special" if we get a Daytona, Special, or 40th... Hell, if I really wanted to feel special, I would have tried to go after a retired pace car like Scott's...

Oh, and is it me or does the wing on the 03 special look :greddy2:? The fogs are nice, but that wing...

Does he still have that pace car?? I know he got into an accident in his 98 and it got totalled.

I admit they don't fit great, but the stockers fit like shit too. I had to mod mine and add some material underneath to prevent shaking, but I'm happy with them. See sig. Don't knock em unless you've tried them yourself.

Stock fits nowhere near that bad. Ive never seen a stock set of headlights leave that much of a gap.

For the amount you pay for these, you can make your own retrofit projectors out of better fitting stock lens.

I talked to him a few weeks ago, and I think he said they have the retired MIS pace car with the strobes still... I know about the '98... I saw the thread on CGPC before it shut down... And the sad thing is, they let me drive it before they even bought that '98... They bought it from Wheels by RT here in Rockford/Cherry Valley...
