I just went to <a href="http://www.gtstyling.com/index.cfm">GTS Styling's</a> web site and looked up your car. the blackouts you need are part number GT034.

Try your local auto zone or pep boys, or something like that. <a href="www.autoaccessory.com">Auto Accessory</a> might have them if you want to check there.

I am sure some place has them.

yea....you need to visit www.gtstying.com

then just look of the part # and call summit racing, or go to their website. I ordered them for my '90 bird and my dad's dakaota both from summit racing.

Yup, GTS went out of business. I know because I was trying to find a set for my 92 formula about two months ago. Every place I called was out of them, and not going to get anymore in. Finally I found a place that still had a set of them on the shelf. It was probably the last set in all of Kansas City. I have to sell my formula pretty soon here, and when I do, I'll keep the blackouts, and probably put them up in the classifieds or something.

Some people are just too dumb to do a search. That's what pisses me off. It took me less than 5 mins to find these.
Don't even dare tell me you looked all over the place, and couldn't find them.

Nobody said they couldn't be found. Only that with GTS out of business, they are getting harder and harder to come by. Most of the major suppliers are out of stock on them, and wont be getting any more in. For example, I called Jegs two months ago, and they were all out. I work for a parts store, and called our supplier, Arrowspeed. They were sold out as well. I managed to snag the last set from another major supplier in the area. So they are also sold out now.
There are other brands of blackouts. For example, Lund makes an excellent blackout for thirdgen camaros. They are much nicer than the GTS ones. But from what I was told, no other brand makes blackouts for thirdgen birds. So once the GTS blackouts are all sold out, they're gone. Although I'm sure with GTS out of business, some other company will pick up and start making them.

WOW....I had no idea GTS went out of business!! Glad I got mine when I did(about year and a half ago), and now I will probably take them off the car whenever I go to sell it!
