It´s actually a pretty funny story how I got those headlight covers...it was December and I was working 3rd shift and wanted some light on my drive to and from Meijer (obviously, at night) so I went into Autozone and ordered "headlight covers..." well when I got them they were just those darkened AVS covers...what I wanted was the headlight assembly itself. I knew 45 bucks was cheap for the assemblies. Well I went back to autozone and ordered the headlight assemblies...300 bucks for the set!!!!!!! If I knew I could do the E36 conversion I would have just done that, for 75/each, I could have saved myself $150! Anyway, I just started using them during the day. I think they make my car look freakin´ awesome too. with those HID driving lamps I can keep them on at night now and still have light to drive. I didn´t actually tint the windows in my car, when I bought it in November 2001 they were already like that. I LOVE it. I also love my AVS rain guards. 45 bucks for the front set as well. I do wish I had a black GT cause then I´d keep the headlight covers on, tint the windows black and put some 16" black rims on there. I just need to get rid of that rust. one of these days I´ll get a power grinder and grind it down to the good metal, then if I can find one, spot weld a new piece of sheetmetal on it, bondo, sand, primer, sand, paint, stand back and smile :-] That´ll be great. She´s coming along and I hope I can keep this car forever so I can fix her up to my hearts content. I know eventually that I´m going to want/be able to afford a Camaro, but everyone else has two cars...why can´t I?? ;-)

Looks nice, james. You´ve got rust in the same spot I do... and I´ve got the bragging rights to a whole lot more!
Where on earth did you pick up those snazzy headlight covers? I was planning on building my own angeleyes out of blue LEDs in the older E36 style headlights, then tinting the entire thing with some window tint spraypaint... I think it would look hella pimp, especially on a black GT like mine where all the lights and everything just blend right into the body. It looks really nice.
Did you tint your windows? Why is it that every GT I see other than my own looks like it has tinted windows...
