Default Carbon Fiber Headlights

Hello, I am new to the forum (joined today). I hope to someday own a C6 Z, but in the meantime I have been learning about the car and car products etc. and I was wondering if anyone knows who makes carbon fiber headlights for the C6. I saw these headlights a while back on a thread before I signed up and was just wondering who makes them. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Josh

I saw them on a Corvette at SEMA, but the guy in the booth couldn't give me any info on the headlights.

Just 1 headlamp "kit" weighs more than both front fenders! They are heavy, for what they are! They're "Hencho en Mexico" too!

Hmmm, thought they'd be lighter. Any other places that carry them? This is just for future referance for me as I do not currently own a Vette. Just seeing whats out there as far as good products go.

Thanks for all the responses,

Josh

the only weight difference is the inner tray that bolts in and surrounds the headlights to cover the inners.

the rest of the headlight is the same.

i would put them on my z but no one wants to just sell me the inner carbon trays i can take the headlight apart myself just fine as i have painted the inside of my old silver headlights flat black, no leaks and no fogging
