68724, Question about the GTS blackout taillights covers.......
Posted by Will, Mar-14-04 10:16 AM
I notice there's a white "GTS"(or something like that) logo on the taillight covers. To those of you who have these covers, is there anyway to remove the logo? It kinda ruins the all black look imo.

I know that on the headlights it's just a sticker...I had the headlight covers, pealed it away and used nail polish remover to remove the rest of the left over crap

My lil GTS came off easily

*knock on wood* Ive had mine for 2 yrs now without them falling off or being stolen.

You can still see the reflective piece in the taillight, so they are legal, but I still cut my lights on in the day time if there is a cop behind me.
You can see them fine at night, its like you dont even have them on.

Wow, I had those waaay back in the day, until one of them flew off at 70mph. I went back for it only to find it in 3 pieces. x(

But yea, the letters come off, and they look pimp on a black car.

That 2nd muffler was photoshopped btw






Those lil dots you see are the adhesive tabs that hold them on...so yea someone could just jack them if they wanted too...*again knock on wood*

Im not pressing the brake in that picture

I got them from www.spiderautomotive.com

I still have a set of the headlight covers in the CF look out on the patio. They were pretty cool, but they don't like 97-99 Eclipse headlights with that bulge over the turn signal. I got the ones for the 95-98 Talon to hide the gap from the Eclipse projectors I had. The bulge on the projectors rubbed the CF-look paint off on one and the other caught something and has a crack. I'm hanging onto them in case I make a ram air headlight or something and need a cap. I dunno. I'm a pack rat. :shrug

I just ordered a set(black) on ebay, it's $50 shipped, how much did u guys pay for yours back then?

And is there anything I can do so that people can't steal those so easily?
