Nah, no1 makes them. You'd have to spray them with VHT.

GTS use to make the ft turnsignal covers. Summit or jegs use to carry them. They look good. If you find them let me know, I want some.

Summit has it. Look under detailing and finishing.

It's about $6 for a can, which will be plenty, just spray it on, it is illegal for street use just like blackouts.

Tis is not the best pic in the world of the front end,but you can get the idea. I took an old set of blackout I had laying around and took the turn signal out and made a blackout for it. The side marker lights I used Nite Shade on.

Depends on which state you live and and what the laws are. Tennesee could care less, and I think Virginia just legalized them.

I have a set of the front turn signal covers. I have been thinking about going to a plastic shope to have them duplicated if I find that enough people are interested I can have a few more made. You guys let me know.

The previous owner of my car sprayed the tail lights with night shade. I've had many cops behind me and haven't been pulled over yet.

Hey man, your email address doesn't work.... Here's what I tried to send you: Do you know if those headlight and taillight blackouts will work on a '92? I know the tails prolly will, but what about the headlight covers? I know the bra from my brother's '88 wouldn't fit, but I think that was mainly because of the groundfx. I might take it all off your hands for a reasonable price if it fits. Some pics would be nice too.

Thanks, Harry

From: pgh,pa,
a while back i made turn signal blackouts, using clear acylic, VHT niteshades, and some 3m adhesive backed velcro. i was gonna mae themand sell them but there wasnt any real interest, so i gave up on it, spraying your lenses is easy enough, but the nice thing about mine is that they are removeable. i made a few sts and i still have few , if your interested e-mail me.

Harry,
Sorry bout that, my address just got changed a week ago.
I know the tails will fit but I don't think the fronts will. As far as pics, I don't have a digi cam but I"ll see if I can borrow one and take some pics. If interested just respond to this board and I'll change my email address in the meantime.
