hey i got a brand spankin new set for camaro's sell them for $50 they should fit all camaro's. i think i paid $55 plus $10 shipping at the time so $50 is a major steal for brand new GTS headlight black outs.

from cars ive seen them on. they look good on black, some marroon's, and some times on red ( the car just has to have that look with them on but some dont)

i got my headlight covers about 2 1/2 to 3 yrs ago from some place online, propbably couldnt even serch for them and find them if i tryed to remember who it was. also i think it depends on who makes them. GTS was the best ones out there, then Autovent shade came around and i bought a set before serchin for the GTS ones and the Autovent shade ones where pure crap, i returned them 10 mins after i opened the bot to test fit them to the car.

I used to have the GTS blackouts on my 89RS front/rear when it was maroon red. Sorry, dont have any pics (that was like 7 years ago). Honestly, I would not run them on my car again due to the installation methods. The main problems I saw were that the installation method for the front allowed air to get under the blackout and force it off at higher speeds (my left side flew off going 120mph). As for the rears, they are attached with two sided velcro strips, which works fine, but means anyone can steal them if they wish. Just some FYI on the blackouts, dont want to be ruining your new presents. I think if you can get a little creative and install them a bit differently you can overcome these potential downsides.

i agree... also why i got rid of mine.


their really is not secure way to attach the fronts and not do some sort of damage to your bumper. many, even gm screwed them in which is rediculous. as for the tails velcro is the best but they can be stolen easily. i've seen some screwed in which is a great idea if you have really bad tail lights but otherwise bad again. if your bumper is aligned right they will scratch it as well which is also a bad deal.

for show purposes if you like that sort of thing i suppose it's alright but for the above reasons i shelved mine.
