I used the "Search" function & found this, ...

"You need the AutoVentShade TailShade blackouts for the 93-02 Pontiac Firebird, Part #33041.

If you visit their website, check the link for the dealer info, there's a pdf file for the application guide. They usually cost about $45+ at your local parts house, but they will probably have to order them in for ya.

Good Luck!"

You can get them at AutoZone and other auto parts stores (I got mine at Lappens). The Camaro ones are usually on the shelf, but then can get the Firebird ones in in 3 days. They are made by AutoVentShade and go for about $40-$45 plus tax. Watch out though. Some sites are selling them in the $50-$60 range plus shipping. They are the exact same tailight covers. Avoid those sites.

Here is a pick of mine:

I removed the AVS logos with 3M Perfect-It II.

Here is a taillight cover that I would like to see made:

NOTE: This is an edited image. This one-piece taillight cover does not exist.

There aren't any blackouts for the third brake light, but you can get a can of VHT NightShades and tint them (from what I hear, its kinda like a watered down black paint). I havent done it yet, but when I do, I'm doing the side markers as well.

Summit seems a bit fishy.

I just checked....
$60 for the Camaro
and
$40 for the Firebird

AutoZone has both at $45

VIP it wouldn't be one solid piece but you could put a blank collectors edition center panel in there and have them all blacked out like that?

You can remove the center bird for a more blacked-out look, but I want to hide the seams. Look at the back of KITT. No seams.
