Default ANyone else used GTS headlight covers?

anyone else use these?...if so what do you think of them?...i just got mine in yesterday...i havent installed them yet because tomorrow i have to reinstall my stock headlights, and then ill put the covers on....my covers didnt come with the velcro pieces so im guessing this was a mistake so ill call american muscle tomorrow and get them on the way...the instructions that came with them is a very general manual with illustrations of a 1987 headlight with a cover in front of it...wtf over lol....any tricks on installing them or getting them to stay on? any complications?

I had them. Install is not exactly tricky. Should take about 2 minutes for both. One chipped some how and I took them off.

they do not come with velcro, they are a pain to keep on, every time you drive the driver side one will move. I would tint them instead but since you already have them I guess that is not an option...mine rubbed the paint on the driver side as well. so watch it close!

I was going to get them way back when i first got my car but heard bad things so i went with www.rockblocker.com's kit. Its a very thick heavy film, nothing like window tint. Works great and passed state inspection

I've had mine on continuously for almost a year now and they have not loosened or popped out. When I first got them, I did have a problem with the driver's side popping out on the highway... all I had to do was spend about $2 at autozone for some velcro strips.

I cut a few small strips/pieces and placed them on the inner corners. Worked like a charm.

I didn't want to get covers... look cheap IMO... so I went the smoked route. Had them painted, not tinted.

Hope you are happy with them tho...

yeah you gotta do the velcro yourself. My velcro finally came off and I need to redo them but I think im going to just use double sided tape. My tail light cover came off the other night doing 100+ on the highway. I went back and picked it up. To my surprise it didnt shatter just a few scrapes so I put that back on with double sided tape.
