i think those lights are sweet.

I think the whole thing looks pretty badass, but those lights were the first thing i saw, and they look really sweet.

I think they would look cooler eith the same style headlightwipers mercedes used on there early 90s models ...j/k
I like it,it makes it look like an exotic third gen,but somethings missing and dont know what?(not the headlight wipers,that was a joke)

Aside from the circle lights, I actually think it looks pretty cool. There is something familiar about it but I can't quite pick it out..

hey we are all intiltled to our opinions, if you like it great, personally i think it looks like the front end of a *****.

thirdgens are all about the lines, since its got the straight edge square lines going on, i don't think it looks right to incorporate a round headlight or a rounded front end.

My honest opinion, I dont like it. Its mainly because of the shape and angle of the headlights. I do think its kinda funny that people scream **** at a photoshop though. I guess anything extreme is **** to some people. *shrug*

You can't forget the 4th gen t/a bumper that he was putting on the car either, ala "just you wait, yes I can!". LoL

The headlights remind me of the old monte carlo SS , but updated.

It looks ok, but the stock look is hard to beat.

Wow, I don't bash for R1ce looking but I typically do not like it. BUT, I think you've got a great design going on there. Probably be hard to put into reality unless you have access to some pretty wicked equipment. But I think it looks cool. Would I do it to my car, probably not. Would I buy another camaro and try something like that, maybe

I like it. its definatly a good idea to build off of. start tweaking things heare and there to see what looks good, w/o going to far from stock...
can you chop those lights on a stock front end? curious too see how it would look.

Did you get that front lip from a WRX? Looks like a Greddy front lip to me. Same idea really. I think it looks alright, but then again most anything in a photoshop can look alright. It is pulling it off in reality that matters!

Agreed. The front ends of these Camaros are one of the sexiest parts of the car. Quit messin' with it.

those headlights kinda remind me of headlights from a skyline..


i think if you came up with a way to keep that ball shaped HID headlight and made a square housing around it so it would bolt in in place of the highs and kept a regular low headlight i think it would look pretty sweet, thats somewhat of what you have now except if you did that you wouldnt have any issues with the hood or whatever and it would be fairly easy.. hmm, maybe im on to something here?

I always think the top half of the headlights on the last generation Grand cherokee would look good for a modern third gen. If the headlight closer to the grill was made like the outside one it would be perect.
