has anyone come across or know how to find these blackout covers for the front firebird turn signals?

i cant find anything on them just this car that has them on cardomain

i really would like a set.

 

they were an aftermarket deal, not sure who made them, I have seen them around.

Could be a one-off thing that was owner made...

John

 

thanks

i might have to make them myself

i hate how some stuff is just not offered anymore or was not mass produced

or how i cant find anything online about them

you think we've come so far but on google i get nothing but junk related to blackouts


if anyone has anything else to add or if they them and want to sell let me know

thanks

 

anybody know where to find a pair or have a set for sale?

please post if you do thanks

 

Those were very common back in the day. My '82 T/A has the remains of the adhesive for the brackets that attach the covers to the bumper.

There are advertisements for them in old issues of Thunder Am/High Performance Pontiac. I did a little searching and it seems all the companies are long gone. Have you checked with JC Whitney? They carry a lot of stuff like that.

 

Search for GTS Firebird turn signal covers
Year One might have them

i kept finding something like that with the links you gave me

but no one and i mean no one has an online picture so i had no idea if what they were talking about were what i wanted haha


thanks for chiming in guys you all are the best.

yea its like they completely disapeared from existance.

not on ebay. i personally never saw them before and ive been into these cars for like 6 yrs now

ill check out those links closer

i did kept coming up with gts sites but.... there was either no picture or a generic truck taillight blackout image

was getting so frustrating

thanks guys

 

Why cant it be just as easy as putting on some black electrical tape? If not then tape the part you dont want blacked out and paint the rest? If you paint get a spare set so you can go back if you ever need to. Just a few ideas.

 

bought a set from yearone

no one except a site called youngs f-body had a correct image of the covers

but they wanted 95dollars

everyone else wanted 30-50 for gts covers

summit was out of stock

hopefully yearone doesnt take too long

and hopefully its exactly what its supposed to be......82-84 gts smoke style gts turn signal cover

 

Be happy you didn't order them from Youngs, you may of never of gotten them.

 

ha yea, i still havent got a trackin number from yearone the site said 1-4weeks which personally i tihnk is rediculous but.... as long as i get them and they are correct i'll live

 

take another look at what he's buying... they are tinted plexiglass panels that allow the turn signal to still show through. Neither electrical tape nor black paint would do the job.

 

Yes,
They were by GTS.
I have a set still in the box, unopened.
And another set out of the box.
Neither set is for sale though.
And yes, the are tinted plexiglass with trianglar wedges that hold it up on an angle to match the front bumper/hood.

Hope this helps,

George

 

sorry to resurrect the dead..
but GTS wasnt the only company that made them. I had some that were not GTS but hooked in the same way and did not have any logo. thats what I am looking for. any thoughts as I dont want logos?

 

i'm not sure for all gts blackouts but the ones i had i was able to remove the logo with paint stripper. cleaned up nicely. or something along those lines will remove the logo assuming its not etched in the plastic.

 

good to know! thanks!

 

Be careful using paint stripper on acrylic (Plexiglas), it will ruin it faster than you can imagine. Do not use gasoline, alcohol, benzene, acetone, carbon tetrachloride, fire extinguisher or deicing fluids, lacquer thinners, or window cleaning sprays because they will soften the plastic and cause crazing.

What you can use is Naphtha (Zippo Lighter Fluid), Mineral spirits, some of the orange citrus cleaners,

Isopropal Alcohol is kinda. (NOT DENATURED)
