Nice Find..I Guess

sure u could paint them black. but then they turn all fun house mirror on ya after your done. plus no way you could make that reflector clear.

crazypontiac03 · 08-12-2005, 09:11 PM

Who Care's if its painted or Not. They didnt want use the Amber/so they used clear has to be one or the other be aproved. Nothing alittle Vinyl wont fix anyway

Think whatcha like, i'm stickin by the "they're hot" theory til i'm proven otherwise. And it's a plus for the GA community as a whole. . . we have a limited aftermarket to begin with. options are always a good thing, even if they don't quite trip your trigger

Vintalage · 08-12-2005, 10:52 PM

I just find it odd that people were asking for smoked headlamps with clear reflectors and now it's here and people are saying that it is ugly? WTF???

sickness · 08-12-2005, 11:05 PM

Now make some for the 96-98s....

CUSTOMGAGT2000SEDAN · 08-13-2005, 02:02 AM

sicc what would they look like on my shade of silver metallic mist. i think if the corner pieces are actually clear they will look better and on any colour car . i have pcp gumetal taillights . but should look better then the match i have now with the factory heads and gunmetal tails. factory headlights a pair i think cost that much for 1 headlight in canada. they should look better with my blazertec 3200 's when i get around to having them installed , they have a blue tinted lence if i remember. hope there closer to the gunmetal colour. and that fit and finished are as good as factory. post reallife photo's you buyers day and night shots . compare how they are designed etc on the back side also. photo's of that would be great too. i might be in for that multi buy.

Ajaxus · 08-13-2005, 02:12 AM

i would imagine they would look nice on my spruce green gagt. def would be interested in a group buy, assuming that the price doesnt sky-rocket due to the publicity and interest these are now getting..

I was thinking the same thing. whatever though. but if you buy these and then vynil em.... then really why buy em? I'm getting em unless they come out with something nicer in the next 2 weeks

Mendoza · 08-13-2005, 07:31 AM

I don't even understand why people on this sight would ever put vinyl on are cars! Vinyl goes on houses not cars

Mendoza · 08-13-2005, 07:32 AM

ohh and as for the headlights... SICK

Oh yea With Vinyl Of Course.....Whatever Go Blow Money On A Proj you Can DIY....Kinda Like The Whole "JDM" Civic Headlights....DIY For Like 10 Bucks....Whatev Tho

Does the vinyl allow the light to pass through? Does vinyl refelct?

I'm not knocking the vinyl look, but I prefer these better. Besides, it's a different look. I have yet to see a GA with clear reflectors.

lightningGA · 08-13-2005, 09:17 AM

wow....very nice looking for the price! Can't wait to see them actually on a car!!!

AznGA · 08-13-2005, 09:25 AM

I personally think covering up the reflector is ugly. Has anyone got this yet? I can't wait to see these on a GA. I hope these don't have leak or fog issues.

That's my point. You are blocking the light. With this aftermarket headlamp, you can put a white or light blue bulb in there.

i thought the same thing when i first saw that. thats where the "real world" pictures will help a lot. i bet these will look sweet on a black GA. kind of curious how they would look with my color.

magyver · 08-14-2005, 03:34 PM

well, its not lookin good for a group buy.. im still in contact w/ them, but im guessing demand is too high and they want to make as much as possilbe.. sorry guys, it was worth a shot.. but i'll keep peckin at em... maybe they'll budge

boost21 · 08-14-2005, 03:39 PM

hey see if they have any pix on a Grand am from test fit or customers car cuz they might already have pix

Ajaxus · 08-14-2005, 05:26 PM

well, we should make a count of how many ppl want them, that might be better than saying "we have alot of ppl interested" or somethin like that, give them an idea of how many sales are pending and see what they say to that.

Black01gt1 · 08-14-2005, 05:42 PM

It would really be smart for them to do it...I'm not sure but I'd say we could get at least 15-20 orders out of this for say $150-$160 (that would be my hope anyways) I would rather not pay the now $195.99 buy it now plus the rediculous $45 shipping charge and manditory insurance of $3, is $243.98 total price. I would rather buy something more worth the money, put it towards rims or something...as much as I do like them a lot...just not for $243.98 (as of the current auctions). The more we talk about this to them, it seems to go up $5 more a day.

blackgt2k · 08-14-2005, 05:58 PM

my lights are scheduled to come this friday. i have a black gt, so ill get some pics up this friday as soon as i get them in.

JohnnyB4439 · 08-14-2005, 06:04 PM

nice, cant wait to see them

Was about to say the same thing seems like they keep pushing up the price everyday now that they have some attention for the lights. It would be ashame if they didn't go for a group buy cause $150 is a good price cause the way its going they will be $250.

AznGA · 08-14-2005, 08:23 PM

So what kinda company is this? Is this like some guy making them in his basement? Anyone found their own website?

Hodge · 08-14-2005, 08:51 PM

**** it, no group buy and keep raising prices. I'll ****ing paint those bitches myself.

shadesofnight · 08-14-2005, 10:01 PM

Im glad the demand is high, this might convince others that making aftermarket parts for the GA could be profitable, but Im still not impressed with these. I guess some of you guys already had an interest in something like these anyway, I never have. Id rather have Magyver's, or maybe Kyle-aka-SC/T's.

TulaneGT · 08-14-2005, 11:03 PM

Glad I jumped on before the prices started headin up...if I don't like them, I might be able to sell them for a profit!

i understand they are trying to make money and its a good business move but im sure jacking it up this much isnt THAT great of an idea.

tenspeed · 08-15-2005, 10:01 AM

Those lights were $171 four days ago. They're going up faster than the gas prices.

I wouldn't expect a group buy until the buying frenzy dies down.

Well then everyone, stop buying. Make them come back down.

LukeD · 08-15-2005, 04:35 PM

crap I know I should have bought them at $180. Send them an e-mail saying that this site and GAOC will publicly denounce the lights if they dont bring them back down.
