Ok i just went to Summit today to pick up a set of headlight covers for my Z. Well i gott what i needed and came home to put them on. Well i gott the Auto Ventshade ones. Are they supposed to like not fit right on purpose. The seem big and go over the headlight pocket onto the outside of the car. I had a set before these (that were broke and came wit the car) and well they fit right into the pocket. So what i was wonderin, are all AVS covers like this or did i gett the wrong one?

 

not sure

I used to have headlight covers, and they said 85-87 on the box, so maybe the pockets are a little different on other years?

 

I broke the ones that were on my car when i bought it. So I bought some AVS ones and i found the exact same thing as you..they fit over the pockets. Very poorly made product in my opinion,its like they didnt measure properly or something.... I just left my car without any blackouts in the front and now i like it better that way...

 

yep they fit over the head light pockets. They arnet the greatest quallity ones but there the only ones i can find any more since gts went out of buissness. I don't really like them but then again i know people who like the avs ones better than the gts ones.

 

so you can't buy GTS ones anymore? are they hard to find?
hope so cause i have a pair in the garage lol

 

I bought some from lund that were like that, They make them that way so when you are driving the wind wont catch it from underneith and blow it off. By making them that way, the wind will acually hold them on. They do look lame thought. I have a white car, and the covers come with a black rubber strip around the edge, so my headlights had a black line around them. I only had them for a week and then I got rid of them.

And GTS is out of buisiness and they are going to be ard to find, unless some shops still have them in stock on their shelves.

 

from what i was told (autozone guy) a company called sandstone?? bought GTS out and is selling their stuff.

 

My GTS covers fit snug but didnt overlap. In other words they concealed the headlights totally. I got mine off ebay new for $35.
Auto ventshade has some good products but I wouldnt buy their head or taillight covers.

 

have anyone of you guys put headlight covers on and then paint them the color of the car?

 

If you want to paint them, I would get the clear ones and paint them from the backside so that they dont chip.

 

this is from that camaro sighting in japan thread:



i think that is the nicest looking front end ive ever seen on a thirdgen. are these the headlight covers you guys are talking about? if i didnt have a firebird, that'd be one of the first things id do to it.

 

I had a set on my car from GTS and a damn bird took the one out right after GTS went under,no more warrenty so that pissed me off. I then got a set from wade and the one dont seem to fit right. My car is now going to go without them.

 

I like blackouts cause you can take them off or put them on and give your car a different look at will. Same with a car bra. One day you can have it on, the next you can take it off..

I purchased some GTS rear blackouts now I just need the fronts.
Hey are the GTS front blackouts different? cause I see them with different part#'s all the time but they still say for 82-92 camaro's but with different part#.....which one do I get for an IROC?


thanks guys.

 

Heres a pic of the ones I had on mine.

 

you fogot the picture

 

uhh no he didnt, and hey man that car looks sweet, nice job on it!

 

Do you rememeber what the part number was on those GTS covers? That car does look sweet...

 

No I dont, I gave it to the guy I sold the car to. I can email him and ask him if he still has the box.

 

Do that for me, that would be great...

thanks...post it here or PM when you got it...

 

Thanks for the replies. Now i know that this is the way it is supposed to fitt.. But is there any trick ways to mount the AVS other than with the taped velcro they give you so it wont be stolen from me?!

 

here are a few part numbers i believe

Autozone GTS headlight covers
VP818#3

GTS HEADLIGHTS COVERS
GTO101

But i don't know if this helps at all seeing that GTS was bought out.

 

I emailed him and he thinks he still has the box. Just have to wait till he replies.
I dont reconize the part #s above, but I may be wrong.

 

Here is the part # for the headlight covers on my old car.
GTO101S

 

Im looking at some and the part number is diffferent than the ones that you had...the part number is GT0109S.....It says for 85-87 camaro, I wonder what the difference could be? The headlight pockets were the same were'nt they?

 

ok i just checked up on this. a company named Keystone (not sandstone) bought out GTS and they offer both the headlight and tail light covers near-identical tothe ones GTS had. the tail light number is 33802. i forgot to write down the headlight ones.

 

Just got these off of Ebay for $30. Kinda fit funky and don't even think about driving at night with these on.

 

What was the part number of those? Why do you say not to drive at night, the lights wont shine thru?

 

yea why?

 

yea why, what? what in the heck are you answering to...

 

Wishmaster, in answer to your question. Don't drive with these at night because even with my brights on you still can't see !@#$.
The part number is GT0101S. I bought them from autoaccessories4less on ebay.This is a current auction right now for the same ones I have. Current price is $9.99 with no reserve. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2404463060

 

all you have to do is go to ebay search for "camaro headlight covers"

 

heres a pic of the box

 

whats with the different part #'s arent the headlight pockets the same from 82 to 92?

 

yeah, was wondering that myself

 

OK, I got my headlight covers and what I think is that once they are installed there is no way to remove them to drive at night.

For those of you with the same as what I have, how in the heck are out guys taking them off. The kind of brackets that come with the covers will not allow you to take them off I dont think or am I just not seeing something here? Unless I yank the tape loose..

I havent installed them yet.

 

hers the instruction.. oh yeah the style of covers are the GTS GT0101S

 

pretty much what I do is kinda bend them to take out. Its not easy and can be a real pain in the butt.
