got any closer shoots of your camaro from down low?

18inchboyds

thats awesome , if i had a camaro i would have that , im wondering what it would look like on a blue or red car or something other than black if you painted the covers body color.

pwdbychevy

It would probably look nice. Or you can tint the inside of the covers with that color tint the same color of the car so that the light can still shine through.

18inchboyds

id like to see it on a car.

pwdbychevy

If i was good with photoshop then I would show you what it would look like but I can't figure it out.

18inchboyds

Wow! Got them in the mail today! All I have to say is, if you are selling them... get a patent. These are well worth it and the craftsmanship far exceeds the asking price!!

pwdbychevy

I'm glad you like the workmanship! Send me some pics once you're done installing them. Don't forget to peel off the protective plastic film.

I just wanted to let everyone know that these covers are modeled after my 92 Camaro headlight openings. I don't know if the headlight openings are the same from 82-87. Does anybody know if they are the same dimensions?

cc 82Z-28

iTrader: (7)

I do believe the 82-84 Z-28's have a slightly different opening. They look very much alike but, there is a difference. In 85 when the Iroc- Z was introduced the front end as well as other body parts, got new aero look to them. I do like your covers, that is exactly what I have been wanting to do on my 82 Z-28 and yes, there was an option for the 82-84 camaro's that were sent over seas to have those covers on it for export. They were also available for the Indy pace car edition of the Z-28 as well as the regular Z-28. The GM parts are very rare and very expensive and pretty much fasten up the way you did yours. I've looked at a couple Indy Pace cars to see the GM set. I was planning on doing the same as what you did with the 1/4" plexiglass. I use the plexiglass for mudflaps as well, though I didn't want to put them on, it was the best way so as not to see them as easily. Road rash is really bad here. Anyway very nice job!!

Hey man, those headlamps look freakin awesome.

I saw that you got them at autozone?

What is the part # from Pilot (if you have it) and how much was it for all four lamps?

pwdbychevy

Use the classifieds

pwdbychevy

i think the part# is PL-704. i think they wre $49 a set. I had to get 2 sets.

pwdbychevy

Here's a better frontal view

330hp_91RS

How come the ones closer to the middle look different than the outer set?

Is that the way they are manufactured?

High beam/low beam?

Or is that just the way it appears in the pics?

pwdbychevy

The inner ones are amber lenses. The outies are clear lensed. I have the amber lenses hook up to a fog light switch.

330hp_91RS

Which ones are brighter?

Also, what kind of spoiler do you have?


-Matt-

pwdbychevy

The clears are brighter. The rear spoiler is a turbo wing from ascd.

330hp_91RS

Do the lamps just hook right up or is there some fabrication/wiring mods necessary?

pwdbychevy

i used spade terminals on the fog light wiring to insert into the factory harness just incase later on i decide to go back to factory headlights

9D1Formula350

how wide are your rear wheels? *sorry to be off topic*

pwdbychevy

I have 16x9.5 on all corners. I don't remember the backspacing. I've had these wheels for 14 yrs now.

9D1Formula350

really? for some reason they look really wide

pwdbychevy

I ordered them with a pretty shallow backspacing. I think it was either 4.5 or 5.5 inches

Axoid

I would bet 4.5 backspace. 17x9.5 with 5.5 almost rubs on the stearing, a smaller diameter would most certanly hit the tie rod.

Back on topic to the headlight covers....

I just wanted to say I recieved the covers today. They look great! As soon as I put them on, I will send you some pics of them. you have my permission to use them for any advertising that you want to do.

You were a pleasure doing business with; very professional and quick. Thanks again. So, do you have any more clever ideas for our cars?

Eric

pwdbychevy

I'm glad you got them in one piece. I'll be sure to post any new ideas i come up with. Now, where did I put my beer....

85berlinetta2.8

i usually put my beer in the headlight pocket

how about a cupholder that mounts to the radiator

random thought(its late) wouldnt there be a way to acutally mold those covers to the bumper to give a perfectly smooth fit and possibly keep them on just as good?

85berlinetta2.8

wouldnt be able to change that headlight if it burns out

Pillsbry10

iTrader: (1)

you could just modify the light bar a bit in the back to be able to reach the bulb, i have small hands so it wouldnt take much room to reach a bulb.....id like to see how that looks though so i may give it a go, im torn between that and a 300zx headlight swap, go the easy route or the hard route lol

Crayz9000

You could get a set of the curved aftermarket covers, then cut off the edges of the flange (since you don't really need them) and then add the fasteners.

pwdbychevy

If you don't mind doing extensive bodywork then you can go with the 300zx lights. It looks as if there will be alot of gaps around the lights if you just drop them in.

i dont mind the body work so much seeing as i have to repaint and do a lot anyways.....but im thinkiing maybe just some clear covers and maybe a squre shaped light and a round projector to go behind it...dunno though

pwdbychevy

Well you know where to go if you need clear covers

Pillsbry10

iTrader: (1)

how much for just the covers and nothing else? like i said i think i wanna mold them to the bumper

pwdbychevy

Use the classifieds

Pillsbry10

iTrader: (1)

hmm....sounds good, email me at pillsbry10@aol.com so we can keep this off the boards. how soon can you have them done and sent?

pwdbychevy

You've got mail

Pillsbry10

iTrader: (1)

as do you....lol i think i just came up with a really cool idea for the headlight config behind that lenses....ill post more details on it once i get it on paper

pwdbychevy

That'll be cool. Can't wait to see it

Pillsbry10

iTrader: (1)

youve got mail again, cant wait, im gonna go look around for a good fog light set up, i have a few ideas in mind

KnightWarrior

I just got some one-piece lights from the wrecking yard today. They are from an '87 Corsica. They use projector style 9006 bulbs, so I got new Hyper-white AIC bulbs. The housing seems to be fitting pretty well with only minor mods to the original headlight holders. I'll post pics when I get finished! I plan to run clear covers over them.

Inwo

I'm considering picking up a set of these but I just wonder about how they affect the stock headlights. Is there any problem with redirection or glare or anything else that might cause trouble with the cops?

pwdbychevy

The covers DO NOT affect lighting in any way unless they're covered in mud . Last night my car was parked in the driveway and I couldn't even tell that the covers were on. I thought I forgot to put them back on after washing the car but they were on. They won't redirect lighting at all but check your local laws on the legality of headlight covers before you order them.

i wonder what it would look like if you were to say switch all the front end lights over to round lights...say headlights the biggest, the hight beams a little smaller round lights, then take some round lenses and make those the turnsignals...ive been drawing some stuff out i wish i knew what it would like like on the car

still cant decide what kinda light setup i wanna use, cant wait to get the clear covers though...got any night pictures of the lights lit up?
