I wonder what it would take to install 2010 camaro headlights in a third gen.I have never seen the halo lights in person to estimate mods needed.Anyone ever seen this done?
this could end up being really cool if done right

well i seen one here in missouri and the lights look sweet .also they are not completly round more oval i think and a little square i dunno maybe im seeing it wrong but thats the shape i get.
aren't you aware of how loose the F-Body is? they flex, ALOT, and that upper core support is key a key support in preventing flex in the front end, cut away 3/4 of that and what are you left with? frame rails that can flex and possible break away

Lets say the damage is done, what would you do to correct the structure short of removing the lights and just re welding the orig. piece back in?
Any suggested bracing that would get the job done?(eg.triangulating rad support to body/frame?)
I love that mod might have to do it soon... As far as cutting the rad support, if your really that worried about the frame flexing flip the piece you cut out upside down and weld it back in use it as a lower mount for the housing and boxing in the sides would also reinforce the structure. That way you can have your angel eyes and not sacrifice rigidity.
And as for the 5th Gen Kit on the 3rd Gen I'd do it but only if I could put an LS9 under there and a 6 speed.
I'll be here all week!!!

LS9/T56 in just about anything would be cool with me!
Honestly I would make a bolt on plate that would wrap around the back of the cut areas, I would definately invest in a wonder bar and strut tower brace. And look if you have the three triangular braces for the frame rails. And lastly sfc's will help stiffen the entire car
