Default hard plastic headlight covers for Z

Does anyone know if there are any hard plastic headlight covers for the 350Z. Something like GTS headlight covers.... but GTS doesn't seem to have any for the 350Z. Preferably ones that can be put back on and taken back off easily over and over again... Something that kind of snaps on. I'm not sure if anything like that exists or not.

Anyway thanks for the help.

I've only seen something like this in carbon fiber. I'm not sure where to get them though.

Ah. I really want to find some clear ones. It looks like the GTS ones would be perfect, but I can't find anything about them for the 350Z like I said, and I'm actually not too sure if they are easy to remove and put back on. Thanks for your response though.

Are you just looking for something to protect your headlights? I have some on my Z, they are clear and permanent, you can hardly see them. I had them added when I got my clear bra. If you PM me I will send you the telephone number of the shop where I had them installed. I don't have the number with me.

Nah I really want something I can take on and off. It's kind of a long story why but I want something that's easily removeable and preferably a hard plastic. Thanks for your suggestion though, I actually did think about getting what you're probably suggesting, but the permanent thing is what I don't like about it.

I've been interested in this too for quite a while. I thought I saw that Rickdogg had some. No doubt they were $2000 one offs or something though.

Yeah I actually heard something about how he had some, but if they are 2000 bucks... let's just say that's slightly more than I'm wanting to spend.

Evo-r used to sell carbon fiber headlight covers for the track...but discontinued them a while back, not sure on the price though.

IIRC, the CF set RickDog had were not covers, but actual headlight replacements for hardcore weight savings at the track.

Well I did a lot of searching and I don't think they do make a set for the 350Z yet... but I was saying maybe someday they will... Eh I dunno... It sucks b/c these things could be so useful!
