I used to have those blackouts on mine... Then one time I was on the freeway and there was a draft, and one of the blackouts went flying off. I saw it on my rear view mirror and I was like 'NOOOO!' I stopped and ran back to go get it but it was too late... it shattered in 3 pieces. :(
Moral of the story... who knows, but they looked nice while I had them.

I had the v-tech covers on my lights, and put those blackouts over them. Looked soooo hot because you couldnt tell i had the v-tech covers on. Lots of compliments...

there's acutally a local shop it's eurostreet graphics, they will black them out using some kind of film it's like window tint and they do it for 20 bucks

thereis a paint called VTH night shade paint. Its a spray paint that u spray onto n e thing and it blacks them out and still lets light threw, my freind did it on his truck and it works great. I think u can get it on summitracing.com

Oh NoOooOOoo !!!
Hey xEclipsE RaceRx who's car is that ? (The Black One)
My ride looks just like that (but mine is 10th Ann. Ed.) Basically just like yours but in Black with the stock OZ rims... I even have the lettering and all !!!

I got stock height look too (which can't stand anymore, but gotta wait to raise enough $$$) I was thinking Eibach Pro kit with Tokico Blues... it seems that's the most popular combo here.
(I am of course open to any other suggestions ! Guys?)

Damn!!! I gotta post some pics up...!!! just wanna wait for the Stillen Front to arrive, paint it, install it and that's it... my little project will be done (for the time being). }>
And I thought I was gonna have the unique look bumper-butt-wise... I guess someone beat me to it... :'(

Bwahahaha they might pull you over BUT you can cut out a little square right where the reflective square thing is on the taillights and than they are 100% legal.

Well most states have to reflect red and shine red when you brake for up to 50 ft. It will pass both tests if you cut out that rectangle.

take off the "GTO" white letters on them... I think that would look better but that's just my 2 cents.

ya these look pretty sick i use to rock them on my car, i used adhesive velcro patches to affix them. they lasted quite awhile but one day i got home and noticed my left side was gone so that was the end of those for me, mine were the carbon fiber pattern looked prettyslick on my black car

I had 2 pairs. both times I lost the drivers side piece. They look nice, but they're too expensive to buy a new set every month!

Well EcLIpsInEmCEe7 found that pic when we were looking for eclipses with blackouts, so you might want to talk to him. But man if yur car looks like that and its got the turbo spoiler man...yur car is gonna look so much diamn better, especially with that Stillen bumper...go ahead and post pix, and for the drop...im getting H&R race springs (2" drop) and Tokico Blue struts...its a lil lower than the Prokits, but I like it at 2" no wheel gap...das jus IMO

I got the pic from TRANMAN at DSMTALK.com. His car is a '98 GSX but he took off the spoiler because it gave it a different look. Looks pretty sweet IMO.

Those covers look slick on your car. Cant wait to see pics of your car with the carbon fiber hood. Hey, are those covers one piece or three pieces? I think it would look dope with a painted centerpiece to match your car and two blackouts on the sides. Keep up the good work man.

Posted by EcLIpsInEmCEe7, Jul-02-02 12:06 PM
responding to a few comments:
1) the are three pieces and look better whole rather than the center piece painted, that my opinion. mike photoshoped my car so he might be able to post how it looks.

2) i've had no problems with the CHP and police whatsoever. Theyve followed me, passed me by and what not, and they havent said or done anything. The CF covers arent too dark but as for the blackouts, they are darker but from what Ive personally seen, its nothin too bad.
