Default Taillight covers!

Whos a good company that makes taillight covers for a 94 Formula? I'm looking to buy a set but just didnt know who to go with.

How do you think it would look on a black Formula as well? Would it look cheap? I havent seen too many people use them on their Trans Ams / Formula so thats why I am not sure about any of this.

Thanks,
- Mike

You can get blackout tail light covers from AutoZone. They aren't on the shelf. Walk up the the counter and order them. They'll come in in about 3 days (no shipping charge for in-store pickup). The price is usually between $45 - $55. I've bought two sets that way.

Here is what they look like on my black 2001 Formula when they were still installed:



I removed the "AVS" logo with 3M FinesseIt-II fine-cut rubbing compound.

AVS = AutoVentShade

Just like VIP said, you can pretty much pick them up at any auto parts store! When I had my AVS covers, they stayed on really good and looked good.........but I decided to go the Niteshade route with the new taillights.

Here are the covers when they were on my car:






And the Niteshaded newer taillights:

I bought mine from ebay a few years ago. I used nail polish remover to take the avs letters off the covers. They have been on for about 3 years and they still look good and my tail lights have not melted.

Awesome! Thanks for the help guys!

They look sick.

So if I go down to autozone they will have them there but I would have to order them?

No, you have a Camaro. Camaro owners are the only ones I've heard mention melting tail lights.

I would just VHT. I say it looks better than the covers.
