I think BATMAN should buy 2 other HHRs and make different versions like the "real" batmobile!

Hey DOC , If you would read threw the intire thread , You would see that i've explained , that the funds are unavaliable to do what i want at this time , And that this is a part 1 of a 2-3 part project .

I have READ all about the options available for headlights, Not just looked at pics.

This mod cost me under $20.00 (actual time about 5 hours all together)
In fact everything i've done to my SS together is well under $ 500.00
I know some of you will drop $500 on a performance part , every couple weeks, And thats great, And yep there SS' are faster than mine.
Mine is only appearence mods, With the exception of the CAI scoop , And B&M short throw shifter (which i was given, And installed myself).
And the 2-10 poeple i see every week taking pictures of my ss as i'm at a light or driving behind me, or cruising next to me on the highway could care aless about any performance mods i might have.
It's a visual thing, It's one of a kind, And done by me, For me.

I'd love to be one of the guys that can pick out a nice performance part , Drop off the car, and come back when it's installed . But i'm not one of those guys.
Everything thats not original has been done by my hands, I did'nt go and buy a bunch of stickers, I cut them from sheet vinyl with an razor (except the 3M reflective black bats on the front fenders)

And besides the headlight mod does increase the funtion of the headlights , Compared to the tinted ones i was using .

But thanks for your input

Dosn't sound like he likes what i did to them. lol

And i like the IC grill off but it looks unfinished with the screws sticking up.
I heard the OEM glue was impossible to melt, how did you do it?

I'll chime in.... it's easiest to cut them open with a cut off wheel.

I believe some have been able to get the glue apart. Oven method didn't work for me...
