91-92 trans am front blackouts

Does anybody make blackouts to fit in the Nose of 91-92 trans-am's? I was thinking about getting some plexi to cut and spray the backside to tint but if something is available comercially I'd rather do that. Anybody have ideas or Pics?

I have given this much thought, but haven't really figured anything out as of yet. I have thought of two main ways to do this. 1st being just black out the light covers, or put a piece of blackout material right in front of the lights keeping the recessed area in there, but it would catch alot of wind. Second, slotting the front of the slits where they start to recess and sliding a piece of plexiglass in there. The only problem with both of these ideas is the wind would probablly eventually push the plexiglass back into the opening behind them. If there was a way to get the plexiglass over the enitre opening that would spread out what force there will be from the oncoming wind.

Someone please help us.

You are gettin drowned in a glass of water

NO PROBLEMS ¡¡¡¡
Do what i did.
I deleted my 85-90 taillight orange lights cause im using only the red lights....
what i did is i cut a exact piece of LIMO TINT adhesive paper and
thats it...you can go with 80% or 50% black
but this is the only way i find safe to do it.
so you will be able to remove it if you want.
go to see my album in my sig.
there are pictures of the deleted orange tail.
Do it that way ¡

Oops ¡

Hey ...this will only work if you want to cover the signal only
so it will look all black
but if ypu want to cover the whole hole ...like
82-84 nose...it wont support obviusly...
But i guess you wabt to cover the signal only
..i would do it that way if i had that Nose ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
I NEED A FORMULA NOSE ¡¡¡ 91-92

Ok here's the plan,
-Take posterboard and cut it to fit the opening,slightly recessed.
-cut-out plexi with posterboard as a template
-spray the plexi with tint
-figure some way to secure it from the back

I'll let you know how it goes.
