I don't know of anybody that manufactures them. I made mine out of an old set of blackouts I had laying around.

I pulled them out and set them so the lenses were pointed up. I think it's three coats...however many it says to use on the bottle.

VHT makes it. It's apparently some kind of translucent black spray paint. I got mine out of Summit.

I don't have a Camaro, but I had made templates for mine and had them made of plexiglass and sealed them. It looks sweet night and day.

If you do a search on the app board for niteshade, some pics of mine should show up. Sorry I don't have any on this computer.

For those of you who have used the VHT Nightshade...
