I had a set on my Z and loved them till a bird decided he wants to see if he could go through them while I was driving down the road, so if anyone has a set for an 84 Z and want to get rid of tem cheap let me know. anyhow I wouldnt go taking it like 80mph or anything like that but they made my car look alot better.

How are the police around your area with those on your headlights? Do you drive them at night? If so how much light do you lose with them on??

Lets just say that the ones i got from GTS were held on there with velcro! Either they will get stolen or fall off, eventually. I spent over $2k on my paint only to come home one day and see that one of the rears had fallen off and was hanging there, on my PAINT! It left scrathes in the paint, it buffed out but you can still see it. I was a bit pissed. For $40 though, they look really good on my car. Oh yeah, never bothered by police with them. Hope that helps you, later

had them for 4 years, i love my covers, once I got HID conversion kit for headlights, seeing through them wasnt a problem, but i did get pulled over one night about a month ago (first time ever in the 'maro!) for the taillight covers.. no ticket, just a "thats illegal at night you dumb blonde" hehe, works every time i mostly just love mine cuz the car is black and everything flows. plus i think the stock taillights are ugly, but thats just me.

I have a black camaro and I love them on mine. I have had the back ones on for years. I have been pulled over for them in Tennessee and on Air Force bases and I always say let me get it home before I take them off because it will take a knife and they always let me go. Still have them on The front ones don't cooperate too well. You have to be just about perfect putting them on because they will stick out at the bottom and catch air. One of mine come off going 75 or so on the interstate and I wasn't sure what it was going over top of the car so I kept going and didn't know my car looked like it was winking until I pulled into a rest stop I have kept them off ever since.
