To eliminate frog eyes look.
Anything different from original.

Since we are discussing it. I may as well add my 2 cents in here. To me the rectangular lights look dated. Sorry no offense intended this is just MY opinion. The quads look more modern. and stylish. I like that the SACC kit finishes off the bottom of the bucket so that you cant see into the fender. Sometimes I just like leaving the lights up because they are nice to look at. I painted mine to match the car looks fantastic. IMO

quote:Frankly, I just don't agree. I own two Shelby Mustangs as well as the Pantera. The Pantera has no special dispensation from anything.
I've had people tell me they liked my Camaro in reference to it.
How many of those people would know your car was built with a Ford engine rather then a Chevy Z06? I wonder?
My car is by no means a car that could be judged in Concourse. With any Pantera that would be one difficult if not impossible task I am convinced. In many ways the Pantera shows timeless styling but to deny it has some dated thinking is like a bald guy flipping over the last strands of hair on to his bald dome and thinking no one noticed.
Trust me...they noticed.
I for one have no problem in accepting the fact that both I and the car are from another era and have gotten over the idea that I'm going to have a hot foursome with some 20 year olds that are younger then my daughter. I'm stuck on the idea of a hot two some with a hot 50 year old who likes a sexy red Italian something sports car? Anything else is just icing on the cake...so to speak?
What exactly is wrong with being tyrannosaurus rex? After all it was the ultimate bad ass? So much that the line just ended there and the designers went on to something else starting with a clean sheet of paper.
Gotta go now. I smell some raw Chevy meat I need to go tear up?

I have great respect for the Pantera design for its time, but I can not see that the original 7" headlights fit the car in any way!
The Pantera is in my opinion designed with the headlights down. Periodicly correct or not, the only reason to keep the 7" is if you have an 100% original car, an intend to keep it original.
Since there is so many alternatives around,It is obviously that I am not the only one.
I guess in California you do not drive with the headlights up much? But here in Norway we have to drive with lights on all day.

Well, never been to Norway, so I'll take your word on it. If you have no Sun, do you have roads and air?
The original headlights are for sure strange at the least. The only thing stranger is the passenger seat that is only capable of accommodating the Hunchback of Notre Dame...maybe?
The new quads are at least a 1000% improvement but I'll bet that even in Norway you have the lights on when the buckets are up? So who is going to see them unless you wear welders goggles?
I remeasured and mine are 5-5/8" high opened. What are the others? I've heard no comments from any of the vendors on that dimension?

Now Scott, if you're thinking of a re-design and want to go as radical as possible,
take a look at the headlights on Ralph Sanchez's Pantera
Ralph I hope you don't mind that I've posted a pic of your ride.
