Re: HEADLIGHT COVERS ???
pics dont look like the would fit the camaro... camaro has 2 headlights. It looks to have the right curvature for the firebird covers, however they wouldnt work since firebirds pop up and that wount cover the actually headlight but looks more like the shape of the cover thats already a solid piece of aluminum.

Re: HEADLIGHT COVERS ???
ive also been wondering how the headlight covers mount since our headlight are pushed back in the front end and the covers dont fit flush on the headlights like most cars? heres a link with some for sale they all say no tools or drilling required? would you use some sort of doublesided tape?

Re: HEADLIGHT COVERS ???
I used to use them, not sure of part numbers but mine never came off. They tucked under the hood and used a bristle like attachment on the bottom. It was like velcro but stronger. Just repainted, not sure if I'm gonna put them back on or not.

Re: HEADLIGHT COVERS ???
I had a set once that had our 3rd gen Z28 emblem embossed on the lower outside corners. Flew off on my way to Ft Madison, IA because the mount broke/cracked. Found it, superglued the pee pee out of it when I got to town, and was fine for about 2 more months. Same cover is somewhere between Lincoln and Omaha. Didn't even see it fly off the 2nd time.
I have another set that I plan on installing this summer. I like the look myself.

Re: HEADLIGHT COVERS ???
i got them at auto parts store called hires, they have a plastic chanel that is screwed to inside of headlight pockets, then u need to slightly bend cover to get them to slip into channel. but dont try to bend when they are cold, they will snap easily

we have them on our drag car they actually saves us 2 10ths and 1 mph on our runs, it blockes the air from being collected in the headlight pit and reduces drag

Re: HEADLIGHT COVERS ???
You have a picture? Ive seen bucket covers on drag cars, lexan, and either pinned or fastened in. But never an adhesive backed or velcro strip. That would be very unprofessional and I am pretty sure many tracks wont let you run with that crap on.
