Turn Signal Blackouts
Where can I buy these online? Suncoast Creations used to offer them, but don't sell them online anymore. I've search a bunch of the supporting advitisers but no luck :blah:

RK Sport sells them...but the blackouts aren't your best bet.
They are too dark to let any light through in the daytime, very dangerous.
Your best bet is to pick up a can of VHT Nite Shades paint and do it that way. That's what I have on mine and they are doing excellent. As long as you do some prep work - the stuff is excellent.
Just wet sand the lenses (area to be sprayed) real good with a couple of fairly smooth grits - but enough to get the imperfections off - then clean them really good with some soap and water - and rinse really good - then dry them with a lint free towel. If you do that - I assure that you will be just as happy - and it won't cost you as much.

I have the rksport ones and one would recommend them over just night shades because them come up flush with the body and create a nice smooth look. I personaly don't like how the factory signals sink in.
Concerning safety I don't really find it to be dangerous even if people can't see your front turn signals, I can't think of any situation where they are absolutely necessary as long as you drive with common sense, but I could be wrong.

But seriously, it does put you at a hazard, for reasons I mentioned in that thread. Think about it. 
But I would have to agree with you on the flushness part - that would look very nice - but just not worth the trade off for me. They do have their other advantages though. Keep a rock from busting out a turn signal, if you do get ticketed - they are easier to take off...
