smoke headlight covers

Hey guys, I'm finding some nice headlight covers on ebay for around 30-35~, they say it's for later iroc and z28's, not for "the regular camaro". I have an 89 RS, and it seems like the dimensions are almost exact between that and the IROC.

I've looked up "regular camaro" headlight covers and I can't find any lower than 55$!

Is there really a difference or is it just a way to get more money out of my pocket?

Re: smoke headlight covers

i bought some on ebay, were made by WADE. Paid near 40$ and these things would probably look good if they were mounted properly, however they only give you to pieces of tracking per side and it makes for a loose fit at best. I am now looking to see what everyone else is using out there. I'd like some GTS front covers, but they are apparently out of business. Good luck man.

Lol thanks, I would actually give them a shot if the shipping wasn't so expensive. Heck I remember a guy here actually making his own covers. I forgot how he did it, and I have no idea how I would make them stick in one spot.

Re: smoke headlight covers


These are the exact ones i bought.....from the same guy and everything. They took almost 2 months to arrive due to "the factory not drop shipping fast enough" anyhoo the smoked lens is of good quality, it is just the mounting channel brackets are **** and takes a lot of fitting to get a poor fit. Junk
