Head light covers

I've seen some tinted head light covers on a few third gens, but haven't been able to find the covers for sale anywhere.

Anybody know where they might be?

GTS used to offer them. The mounting system sucks a@@! One of mine blew off at about 75 and the rig behind me almost had a wreck trying to swerve out of the way.

The same thing happened to me ... i was doin bout 70-75 and went to pass a truck and the damn thing flew off. pissed me off real bad !

i was thinkin bout puttin a pin thru the clip and the cover itself. That way i can still take em out easily. wat is really needed is a clip for the bottom to keep the air from gettin under it.

If you do buy them, do yourself a favor and put them inside your car anytime you're gonna leave it in a parking lot. I just had my GTS tail light covers stolen about 3 hours ago at Wal-Mart. Man I'm mad.

i made my own covers for about 5 bucks. there is a company named Airmate near my home. they make stencils and rulers out of acrylic for drawing. i just measured the outline of each of my 4 headlights, and told them i wanted 4 smoked black acrylic rectangles cut out. they cut them out, i sanded and polished the edges smooth, went to
ACE hardware and bought some black velcro and mounted a cover over each headlight. it is unique looking and i like it better than the ones GTS sells. it just looks like my headlights are made of perfectly smooth tinted glass, cool as hell. i have had them cut out covers for my ford truck too. hope this idea helps, it is really cheap and easy to do.
