Hey guys

I have a Black Iroc and I am not sure whether I should get tail blackouts, Headlight blackouts, or both!

Could you please post pics of your blackouts so I can get a feel for them.

Thanks alot!

even though youre probably just looking for black cars...cant miss an opportunity to show off mine!! lol

 

Black IROC with taillight black outs? I can do that!

 

Wow

They look really cool on black cars! Does anyone know where I could find tail and headlight covers from GTS?

Thanks

I'll have to post some updated pics of my car but here's an oldie for ya:

They look especially good since all the stickers are gone now and 5% tint is on the car.

Old pic of my Z

 

I had them on my old Z28 in the front and rear and even though they dont let much light through I loved how they made the back of the car look alot smoother.

 

How or where can I get the parking light blackouts?

 

not alot of firebird with blackouts huh?

 

I used VHT Nightshades and Eastwood plastic polishing compound. They are darker than I would like, but I have not received any trouble.

 

Just so all you guys know, you can take those little gts stickers off of the lenses. A hot day and my fingernail did it for me.

 

How did you attach the blackouts to the taillights? I bought some used and was wondering how to affix them.

 

Birds look Better with Blackouts

 

I think my firebird ones use velcro, not sure. Still new in box.

 

Now THAT looks awesome. Looks absolutely perfect, now just need to hide your exhaust so you cant see anything.

 

 

I got GTS for the headlights and my AVS tail covers will arrive in the mail soon. What method is there for removing the gts decal?

i bought mine used and they might be up for sale soon. but they were sprayed with the VHT nightshade stuff..

 

wetsanding and then use a plastic polish/buffing compound

 

Blackouts on a black car really rocks...

btw. for removing the decals you just need warm temperatur and fingernails

 

Sorry for using your car hopefully you don't mind but wouldn't it be nice if we could do this legaly :-P

 

you probably could legally, with a trans am bumper

 

heres the nicest black outs, THIS IS NOT MY CAR.

 

finnally got my rear blackouts

Its just an adhesive holding the letters on. Heat the decal slowly and carefully with a hair dryer or heat gun (being careful not to overheat and warp the plastic), then just pull them off. Clean the area with some WD40 to remove any adhesive residue.

 

I had a set that just coverd the headlights once. Ive still got em but I only had them on the car for this picture acouple months back.

 

Wow...that looks amazing!!!! What type of wheels are those?

 

The wheels are german Ronal R9s... I like em 2

i almost bought a set of those rims at the junk yards a while back for $100 i have a pic of them on my phone.



and Konartist would you wanna sell those headlight covers you got?

i really wanna get the discontinued clear ones but cant find them. those look good though. let me know if you wanna sell them and how much.

 

Im gonna wait awhile before I sell em........I would hate to sell em and then decide that I wanna back.


If I ever do though I will let you know...........you can pay the shipping and I will let you have them.

 

kool man thanx

 

Hey ETERNALDARKNESS

Those are pretty basic to make if you want clear. Buy a small sheet of clear plexi and then cut it. Buy some rubber trim for the edges so they dont scratch and then attach them with velcro on the sides. If you want tint ones [ like me] you then use some spray nightshade. I havent made myself a set yet but if i could find a set of real ones Id love to buy them.

Also i hate to intrude on your deal KonArtist with ETERNALDARKNESS but if you wanted to sell them and if ETERNAL would allow it I would buy them. I have always wanted some.

Thank you

Speed

 

Oh I almost forgot!

ETERNALDARKNESS said that the clear ones were discontinued... are the blackout ones discontinued as well? If not, who manufactures them and where could i find a set?

Thanks so much

Speed

 

They came with the car about 5 years ago when my parents first bought it, and yes there very basic design just a rectangle with rubber around the edges with velcro to hold them on. There is nothing on them that says who made them.

When I deside what im gonna do with them I'll let you guys be the first to know.

 

I had nothing to do and it was a snowday for my highschool [ thats Canada for you] and i liked the clear headlight cover idea too. So i made some. They look way better in real life but the picture reflectiion was messed up from the white snow outside, they are really crystal clear and i love them. They are really cool. I want to either buy a tint set like Konartists or make some. Next time i turn my car around for a change i will take another pic without snow reflection so you can see what they really look like.
