Going to try just about anything in efforts to avoiding buying new TYC OR OE headlights.
These are cheap ebay ones - I got this idea from a group member.

Nice. They look like they were made for those openings.

What was the torque converter part number you used? I tried searching but keep coming up with 3 part numbers.

Looking up that part number, which is referred to as a TC for the ZL1 and CTS-V, seems to be out of production.

WOW. I thought the 20 Camaro SS wheels looked good on these cars. But those Camaro LT 18s look even better.
