This guy here makes them :Tail light covers. Skim down on the menu on the left side of his page in the "SHOP" area then you'll see "Blackouts" to click on. They're for the 93-present Firebirds

Those look just like the one's on the previous link I gave but a whole lot cheaper. I may just get myself a set. How do they attach...with velcro????

BAHAHAHAHA...that's the beauty of ventshade on a firebird...every car needs this velcro like stuff to attatch them except the 'bird. it's a simple snap on and go. i was so happy to see this note at the bottom of the installation instructions.

**attatchers not needed for firebird** :D

it took me like 5 minutes to put them on, and i haven't had a problem w/ them since. i like them alot and i'd say go for it b/c they look really cool :cool:

Hey that sounds great that you don't need velcro! Thanks for the info :D I wish I could find them for my side markers! No one makes smoke covers for the side markers. I'm trying to make them myself but I can't find anyplace to get the smoke colored plexiglass!! I'm getting pretty frustrated!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

Anyway I'll probably buy the ventshades covers! Thanks again! :D

i think you'll be very happy with this purchase...i was a little skeptical that just snapping them on there would keep them on well enough, but i've had them on for over a month w/o any problems. ;)

P.S. i want some covers for the side markers too, tell me if you find anything....Thanx

They snap right on but I used velcro anyway. just to be safe.

:D

I ordered mine from advance auto. I think they where about 40 dollars.

[Pewter2k Formula]

TByrne doesnt have the side markers...only the turn signal covers for the 98 and up T/A despite of what they have listed there which says GTO698TS Firebird Turn Signal Covers. I just ordered that same product number from YearOne and it was for the Trans Am which are those big turn signals in the front :( . They do have the 93-92 tunr signal covers though.

As far as I know no one makes the side markers for the 93-up Firebird/Formula/TA and I don't think anyone ever did :( . I'm going to make my own. I finally found a place that has the smoke colored plexiglass thanks to a friend and hope to have some more info today. Only thing I've been wondering is that the back side marker isnt recessed like the front one...might be hard to get the cover on....hmmmmm...might have to work on another idea.

Since you people are blacking out your backs, think I could purchase your honeycombs off of you? I've been in search and I'm not paying the obscene amount Suncoast wants for 'em. Please IM me or email me and I'll be glad to give you cash for 'em. :cool:

if i had honeycombs, i would never have bought blackouts [img]tongue.gif[/img] ...they were just a cheaper alternative than payin like $500 for the honeycoms [img]graemlins/omg.gif[/img]

On my 94 I bought a set of the honeycombs for $85 a piece. What I did was search the various on-line salvage yards for them. I ended up getting the driver's side in Illinois and the passenger side from South Carolina.
