Why?? They are illegal in most states. Also the lighting system on these cars is bad enough already and you want covers.

If you have a good set of fog lights, driving with headlight covers is not a problem. I have been pulled over a couple times in my car (street racing ) and both times they didn't even mention my front or rear blackouts. (I did get a ticket for not having a front plate though )

I googled the term "Camaro Headlight Covers" and I got a few responses. I would go with these ones...

theyre ugly. makes it look like your camaro has sunglasses on. Looks about as good as a bra on a camaro anyway I like the blacked out pockets for the headlights alot better.

I disagree. I think that they can make some cars look really good.










Now... window louvers, those are ugly.

Sometimes they look allright, the only problem is they fit like crap. I used to have them on my teal RS, but one flew off at 100mph so I had to take the other one off.......

I had rear blackouts on both my RS and my Z, and I like the way they look, too bad some fugger stole them off the Z

Just don't get them from fbodymotorsports, whatever you decide.

My RS had taillight blackouts on it before I bought it. A few days before I picked it up, someone stole them off the car. Hahahah... I didn't really like them anyway.

the rear blackouts I used to have used a velcro strip on the top of the taillights, it looked much better when the blackouts were off because you couldnt see the velcro with the hatch closed. I used to have headlight covers as well, but I didnt like putting the velcro on the nose so I quit using them once the car got repainted. I only used them for the black out look during the day, I took them off at night for visibility. you really couldnt see anything with them on, and besides when it was dark no one could see them anyways!

Mine were velcro. I just removed the velcro that was taped onto the taillight and called it a day.
