    GTS covers

    Well,today i received my sets of GTS covers,but front & rear;Very good looking items,i had my thoughts about fitting but yes,they fit perfectly.

    Each set were around $ 48.00 + shipping.all for $ 102.00

    My next task is the 6" black strip i already bought at a local shop,thereafter the moonroof which i'll probably wait 'till winter's over.

    I'll post some pics as soon the freezing tempetures give us a break.
    Dakar was just the begining.

    I have had the GTS complete set on My VX for Just over a Year My Advice is for the Headlight Covers! Find some thin felt to place between the hood and the light cover I just used the felt from some Velcro Stick it to the Underside of the hood if not the lightcovers will vibrate when you drive and rub the paint off the hood and scratch the light covers.. it did this on my Buddy's VX so I did not want to take a Chance even though mine looked nice and snug!!!! (you cant even see the felt unless the hood is open and actually matches the felt for the hood stops)

    I second that! Mine rubbed and scratched the headlight pretty badly. It's repairable, but the fix is way worth the effort. Also, I ran into a problem with the plastic of the cover thinning and cracking about 2inches below the top headlight hook. It was just worn down for some reason... may want to reinforce there too.

    Forgive my ignorance but what do these covers look like and where are they sold? Do they protect the finish on the original VX plastic headlights? Like a shield?

    I got mine from Summitracing.com.
    They are purely cosmetic...
    They can either be a smoked/blackout cover, or a "carbon fiber-ish" looking cover. They are terrible at night, but look great during the day (IMO). I had them on my (former) Silver 99 and now on my Black 01.

    The manufacturer now includes a SUPER strong velcro-ish fastener for the rear lenses. Once you put them on... they're ON. I use auto car washes all the time. Actually, when I went to transfer the covers from the Silver VX to the black one, I actually removed/transferred the whole tail light assemblies because I couldn't get the covers OFF!... so, Jim (99VC), you have tail lights from the '01! See... I upgraded you, a little.

    I ordered them at SUMMITRACING.COM. TLF ( 1800-517-1035 )

    Here is the parts # GT0196S (Head lights) GT4196 (Tail lights)

    $ 47 each set + shipping.

    If the order is back ordered (which i strongly believes it would be) they'll not charge your credit/debit card 'till the covers are on the way to their shipping center or ready to being shipped by UPS or fedex w/tracking #.

    Packaging were perfectly done,intructions are included & excelent customer service.

    Highly recommended !
