I love that Zombie look it gives the ride. Were the lenses from the celebrity sealed beam and what fabrication was necessary in installing them ?

I personally dont think they look that good at all, they looke goofy imo. I dont see a single thing wrong with the look of the stock design.

Let me tell you how much I love it when you find out that your image is too big, but when you go back to redo it, the whole goddamned message is gone. I really like that.

Anyway... at the GM Nationals this past weekend, there was a very clean thirdgen that had a very well done 1 piece conversion. It wasn't really my taste, but I admired how well done it was. It looked like he just fabbed up a couple brackets to attach to the stock post, then built a nice aluminum cover piece to make it look better. Judging by the tilt of the lights, I'm guessing they were Grand Prix lamps.

I believe that they are '95 GP lights.Someone who use to frequent this site has a black '85 Z28 with those headlights.

ive seen a couple of camaros at car shows in the past with 300zx lights.
they are smoked, and look awesome. just not something i would currently put on my riide.
there was some modification done to close in the extra space in the bumper.... but they had the "flush" look, more like an LS1 car.
took out a lot of the bucket.
nice work at the least.
