Ventshades for a Firebird I don't think they even exist. For one, Firebirds/Camaros windows are not "framed" which means that the windows do not have a frame surrounding the window. I think that is the only way that the Ventshade will attach to a vehicle. I might be wrong. I have never seen them either. I have only seen the rear one, is that the one your talking about?

BirdOnFire is right. They do make ventshade or GTS covers that go along the windows. Because of the camaro's door- frame and weather-stripping setup, they wouldn't work.

They would work you would just have to roll the window down a little before you shut the door, then roll it back up.

Your wrong, GTStyling didn't go out of business they were bought out by Autoventshade. You can still get blackout for our car if you call them direct. They still make them they are not suppling blackouts to store like Napa, AutoZone, Pepboys...ect. All you have to do is call and you can get them.

They did discontinue alot of items though also, and dont order directly online because most the item numbers are switched and all messed up. Just call the directly to order.

Maverick, what i meant about them not fitting is where the weather stripping meets the window at the top. You wouldn't be able to get a good seal up there. Anything's possible though, i can't tell you that it can't be done because somebody out there's probably done it.

I think they also make not stick ones, which a actuall fit firmly into your weatherstripping. That would work better.

I use AVS tail light blackouts on my IROC... they make a damn good product and I wouldn't be surprised if fiream is actually correct when he says they bought out GTS.

I had to call them for a direct order, that's just the way they operate... I'm sure eventually they will get a system up so people can order via the web (that would increase sales)...

I'm not sure if they have what you're lookin for, but call em and ask: AVS
