thanks for the pics testarossa, IMO it doesn't look too bad at all. i'm not sure if it looks good either but definately not as hideous as the Sunfire lights.

Sorry my second image was not updated for some reason.
Scroll up if you want to see inside^^^

From the outside it looks alright.
If you don't mind overspray and the fact that the fenders are now blended with the header panel...
Then you pop the hood and

That is a honda water bottle behind the passenger light.
And that is foam sprayed in around them to hold the lights in place.

i'm sure if this was cleaned up a bit (no overspray, cleaner lines, no *FOAM*, no honda equipment, etc), it would be an OK job.


IMHO, the factory headlight assembly is a mess, and this would give you lots of room to work with (as far as when you need to fix simple things on the car...i.e. *distributor cap )

i'd do it if i had a competent body guy that would leave it looking a bit better than that thing..

I've been looking to do a fixed headlight conversion on my 944S, this is something I'd really think about. I like it.
