Z06Vette.com - Corvette Z06 Forum - want to get rid of pop up Headlights who do you like PICS??

ausincali · 02-06-2010, 01:25 PM

I luv the lines of this car just to me the headlights are very dated.. I like the look of the integrated headlights, the C5R and other copycats... Iv seen the orange krush car thats gorgeous, I know there speckter werks and there freaking expensive... So i did a search and have seen what look like exact replicas for as low as 399. Sooo my wories are , are they cheap pieces of crap?? I dont want to put cheasy on my car.. I dont want to cheapen the look and make it Riced out lol... SO in your opinions is it worth to spend the extra bones for what known to be a quality product at speckter werks..?? Thanks guys any opinion I look forward to reading.. Also if you have show some pics I think we all luv pics lol..

I'll move this to the C5 section as you posted it in the C6 area.

In my opinion the Spectre Werks is not that high a quality piece, the bucket fitment is poor at best, and the covers are just plastic. I cannot imagine that the others are much worse if at all.

My Personal taste,

I prefer the C5's look because of the pop up head lights.

but on the other hand they are very heavy and look like shit when they are up

I completely agree with you, the c5 z06's are known for the pop up headlights. That's what makes them unique in their own way.

I love the pop up head lights personally. I want to upgrade them to HID's and will when I get the one I want picked out.
**edited**kbcarstuff.com this one is toward the top of the list.

you have the right idea.

**edited**westcoastcorvette.com there you go. 1300 bucks for the good kit.

I've had the specter werks c5r lights for years, and I would not recommend them. Expensive garbage.

**Kens06** · 02-08-2010, 11:46 AM

I have a set of non-popups for a C5 in the garage!
Can't remember who makes them but they are the same as MikesZ06 has on his C5 strip car! They have flat glass not raised!
I bought them for a grand and they have been sitting in boxes for three years!
Full HID setup plus the regular lights.
I tried to put them on the '01 but we had problems because it had been in an accident.
If you are interested, drop me a PM.
Maybe Mike will chime in and tell us who made them!!
Ken

OK, I found a lint to the look with Mikes help!!

lol specter werks is expensive crap lol well thanks Ill take that into much consideration...

HeyKens06 thanks man I appreciate it but I think I actually like the look of the slight pop up bug eye thing it reminds me of the NSX acura from the profile and just enhances the lines just a touch to me which for some reason looks exotic to me.. but again thanks , theres a guy on here desperatley tring to find those lights I saw it in the forum thats says wants integrated headlights maybe he still wants them...

Absolutely love the look, especially the "flat" non-bubbled longitudinal axis. What a great appearance. Just wish I could afford them for my 01 Z06; just retired, and that price is out of my range. But, it is an awesome look that I"d love to have.

Whoever designed this kit is a genius!!

A few generations of Corvettes have pop-up headlights. Hardly "unique" just because a Z06 has them, too.

lol i aggree they are very VERY dated!!!

mnypit · 02-25-2010, 06:17 PM

Ya the car is filthy, ignore that part LOL!. What you see aint "cheap" (over $1200). I am having the black shrouds done in an EB matching carbon fiber "look" done by Pat at American Hydrocarbon. Low beams are 55W HID's, high beams are 65W Halogen's in true 3" projector housings.

ausincali · 03-01-2010, 12:16 PM
