I thought these looked pretty cool, and wanted to show them.

 

looks pretty damn good

 

Where did you get those light covers???? I want a Set wicked bad!!!! im gonan need them for when i put the knight rider nose on the front of my Formula.

 

Wow that car looks great!

 

 

Crovax: I'm sorry I can't remember where I got the blackouts:shrug:
It was back in the late 80's, and as far as I know, I could have ordered them from JC Whitney.
All I can remember, is that it seemed to be the popular mod at the time, and a buddy of mine had them on his 84 T/A.

They don't stay on the best though, as I was out to the Trans Am Nats. this year, and nearly had one fly off as I was going down the freeway. Luckily, the buddy of mine that was riding with me, saw it flutter up above the hood, and I was able to slow down in time before it came completely off.

I really like the way it changes the look of the front end, just have to keep it under 80 mph, with them installed

And for all the others, for all the Great comments, I really appreciate it

 

I like that combination.

 

 

Oh Ill FIND a way to keep them down lmao. They look wicked pissah dude! IM gonna have to go hunt down a set

 

Looks great Leon. Looks like the car is wearing sunglasses badass.

 

I love your T/A man. I need to polish my rims after seeing yours! The clear coat on mine is shot. Yours looks nice and shiney.

 

You can probably buy a set from the place you're buying your Knight Rider nose.

 

Those covers are/were made by a company called GTS.
I have two sets. One new in the box, one without!
I could not get myself to install them onto my 1989 20th Anniversary Turbo Trans Am though!
Still hanging onto them though, in case I get another third gen to play with!
I do think they look killer!

Looks great,

George

 

Mr. Turbo TA :

IIRC, the covers were offered in to forms, one for the 82-84 front bumper cover, and the other for the 85-90 bumper cover.

This was because of the smaller and slightly different shaped pocket area, on the 85-90.


billsfirebird: Thanks for the comments on the car and the wheels, they were just a quick strip polish and buff, before the Nats. I would like to set down again, and get them even better.

Here's a closer shot of one of the wheels.

 

I want to do that to my wheels. Did you just get some paint stripper and remove the clear coat, polish, and re-apply the clear?

Anything would look better than the condition my wheels are in. They almost look yellow due to the clear coat fading.

Well, actually, I have redone these wheels 2 different times.
1st time, they were stock, and I chem. stripped them, repainted the gray, and then re-clearcoated them. That was back in 1989.

This last time, the clear was starting to look bad again(mostly chipped clearcoat) and I didn't want to repaint the gray, so I spent alot of time sanding the clear off of only the machined areas, without damaging the gray painted areas, and then used a high speed die grinder w/ polishing wheel, and an assortment of compounds, to buff it to there present shine. But like I said, they could have a few more hours,each, spent on them, to get them even shinier.
And no clear was used this time around, no more chips. And I think they have a much higher shine like this, than with clear sprayed on them.

 

I'm pretty sure they're not made anymore...but is there any way one you guys with them can make a paper template of them. Like take some cardstock and trace them? I think I can get a set made locally and I've always liked that look.

 

those tips are sharp
