Installed my GTS blackout taillight covers today. Quality seems great, let's just see how long they hold...







In the background of the last pic you see my fathers ford t-bird..

I will be removing the gts stickers when i know i am keeping them...very hard to take off so i don't see how i would return them...

Nice car and blackouts man. Suggestion: (i think you'l find it worth it)

Use a blowdryer, or some wd40 and a fingernail to remove the GTSs from each blackout. it'll come righ off easy ans look good afterwards.

Just what i do (did) with my blackouts, only an opinion, your ride still looks badass

i just scratched my GTS off with my fingernail and used rubbing alcohol, came right off and didnt leave no scratch marks, mine where $60 from summit...

 

Thanks.

The blackouts were $68 total from autozone cause i had to order them. great service cause i ordered them saturday morning and they came wednesday morning.

I went to autozone cause i had a gift certificate and Summit was sold out of the blackouts.

Once i'm sure, im taking the stickers off.

UPDATE, gonna go snap some pics of the car at night time with various lights on.


Yes i know she needs a paint job :-)

I checked the summit magazine, and it says for Firebirds "Except Trans Am" Why is this? They should work.
Later

Because the blackouts aren't an exact fit for the TAs. It's no big deal though, I test-fit my old blackouts that i gave to KZad on my TA an they'll look fine when i get another pair. Should work for all us TA people

 

It says Blackouts Except For T/A is cause the T/A taillights is some kind of natural Blackouted and if you put a set of Blackouts on it the light intensity should be less...its like puttin blackouts on 82-84 ...they dont need...

Those are part # GT-034 (sorry, i had put 35 on accident in post -Edited)

i would have used the paint but i was unsure of the durability and i did not want to "ruin" my tail lights if i had messed up.

I tried it on my extra set of TA lights and it came out badass, perfect, IF you like the red reflector strip on the bottom of the lenses... I for one want ALLLLLL black, so santa'll prolly bring another set o blackouts come x-mas this year

"RARE ROC Z" Where can I find the VHT Nightshades for my NiteRider? Got any pics from your IROC? Seriously thinking of doing the paint. Any pics of Camaros whould be good. The TA's look good but I want the actual lens look.

 

vht nightshades is a paint that can be found at summit racing.

ill check the p/n for you..

 

that car looks familiar....lol. since this pict i have removed the gts stickers and also got a hooker exhaust....with nice stainless steel tips coming out the back... I LOVE THE CLEAN LOOK.....next i think i am gonna spray my sidemarkers with some of that night shade paint....

The reason why i asked if the blackout were GT-035 is the gt-034 seem to have a curve to them. I'm hopping that GT-35 are flat panels, because my 83 have the flat tail lights.

Looks really nice. I don't really like blackouts but they look good on certain cars, yours being one of them. Very nice ride man.

sweet man, Thanks!

looks nice, what rims were those?

 

those were the same rims you had on there i just blacked them out the best i could. Basicly you have a rare rim, only sertain car came with 15" diamond spoke rims like yours, most common rim on a car like your were the slanted star rims. Most of the trans ams of that year came with the 16" rims in the diamond spoke or a slanted star like the ones on the 84 pace car.

rare? hmm sounds like $$, looks like i'll hold onto those.

 

I'm pretty sure those rims aren't rare at all. They're a dime-a-dozen here around Hamilton. Any 85-90 TAs without WS6 seem to either have those or the 15" version of "formula" style rims.

Just my observation

 

this post will live again...heh

actually what % tint would look good on my car?

 

Tint all depends on you state tinting laws.
