No, those are factory firebird/formula/TA *****.

MBA made billet *****, that you could have ordered in black anodized finish. But they went under 2-3 years ago.

Camaro ***** will fit, and off the top of my head they are black plastic.

Find a junkyard and look for 98+ Camaro's. All models had the same black *****. Pre-97 ***** won't fit because they are a little larger. And pre-97's do not light up like the 97+ do.

You can also check to see if anyone is parting out a Camaro in the for sale section.

no.... when you pull the **** off there is the cover and a clear piece on the inside. the cover is what you dye black, don't dye the center piece and it will come out the same color.

Look at the HELP! isle/wall. I found a set there that look identical to the Firebird but are black. The package says that they are for a Honda, but they look the same (except black). They might fit. Give them a shot.
