Default Showing off the new wheels and headlights! [Pics]













Better pic of the lights:



As for the wheels, I am working on getting a custom thing of vinyl made to cover the lips in matching yellow. Can't wait!

Great ...

Get yourself a yellow key hole cover from the forum vendor.

I like the your gas cap.

The wheels look great,however I am still on the fence when it comes to the lights.I also like the hood stripes.I have them on my speedway white convertible and I think they add character without being gaudy.

Aren't they kind of expensive for what they are?

Thanks

They look great in person...I get lots of compliments on them. Much better than the depos IMO.

I like the theme you have going on. The yellow vinyl on the wheels will be an interesting addition and look forward to the pics.

I'm a (ACA/HID) pop-up kind of guy, however I think those are the best exposed lights design I've seen for the C5. Much better than the frog-eyed Depos!

I bought it off a guy on the forum actually. I had a similar one for my previous '68 Corvette Convertible and when I saw this one with Carbon Fiber surround being sold for a C5, I jumped right on it. I then plasti-dipped the polished surfaces black to match but be able to return to original finish.

Of course brother! Let me know if you'd like me to get some better pics of them...close up, from straight on, turned on high/low/both, etc.



Thanks everyone!

Night/Evening shots are always a crowd-pleaser for headlights.
