    I'm not concerned with the buckets, they won't make a difference. There are three exterior pieces - the painted lid, a black bezel surrounding the lid, and a black bezel covering the front. On the R/T, the lid and the bezel surrounding the lid are shaped different. However, I believe the bezel in front is the same on all models. Eh, I'll figure it out when someone sends me an R/T set...

    I'm pretty sure, at least from all the pictures and everything else I've seen that everything that moves when the popup assembly moves is all the same. Even if there are differences, the popup bucket (and the front bezel) are the same, so all the mounting points are the same.

    But I guess we'll find out when I send you my lights

    Because I dont want a sealed beam replacement bulb that accepts an HID bulb. I think they look horrible. I think this when finished will look factory.

    Dude, he said it's going to cost $600 bucks...a 2G conversion is WAY more than that, and I like the 1G look WAY MORE.

    Those sealed beam replacement HID kits are awful.
    These are high quality Hella projectors, made in Austria, designed for custom and race applications.
    But to be honest, it's not even about the lighting upgrade. The conversion drastically changes the look of the car. I'm going to run mine with snake eye deletes and a popup controller, so you'll be able to see them pretty much all the time.

    The Stealth R/T headlight pop up cover is different than the 3000GT and Stealth base/ES cover. Also, the inner trim bezels are different too. The outer corners are more rounded than on the other cars. I hope this kit will be installable in either type.

    It doesn't matter that those pieces are different. The pop up assembly that everything attaches to is the same, so any and all mounting points are the same.

    No no, 93 Stlth is right. I looked at pictures on ebay and the lower outside corner is just a little more rounded. I'm only going to make a fiberglass mold for the 3000GT bezel. No big problem though; I can cut down the corner and reshape it for anyone that sends in an r/t set. It looks like the difference is only about 1/4 of an inch. It'll take some extra work but I don't mind.
