Where can I get clear lenses to cover the front turn signal holes? After reading the aero-nose post I want to update the look of my front end. + to the person who can send me a link with the best price.
Kris Munson makes them. I got a pair from him, but it took me 2 months to get a hold of him. If you do a search, you'll find threads like these. There a great product, and super cheap,but it seems really hard to get a hold of him.
Good luck in your search

If your goal is to change the look, try this. Just paint the holes flat black. It gives the illusion that they are covered without any extra parts or hardware. It fooled a lot of people at the 25th!
They are extremely easy to install. There is a clip that you place in the top of the turn signal opening, toward the back. Then, you press the cover into place, making sure the top of it contacts the clip.
Instructions come with the covers. They take about 10-15 minutes to install.
They can be removed and leave no holes or damage.
I have an extra set of them (the clear) from him so if someone wants them PM me an offer.

I decided that my original idea wouldn't look very good after getting a good look at the front turn signal assembly. My original idea was to create the look of a newer style deep turn signal using chrome tape on the walls of the hole in the bumper between the turn signal assembly and the new cover. The angles are wrong for reflecting light. I tested the idea using tin foil before spending $30 on a roll of chrome tape. - No good. Even if the walls were perfectly reflective, the lens of the light assembly has the wrong look and it's too dim for what I was after.
After spending about 40 minutes in the garage looking at it I plan to bump out the light assembly three inches using spacers and longer screws. Then I will install the new covers and black out the walls of the hole in the bumper behind them. It should give the front of the car a more finished look. It will also make the light assembly more visible from the front and sides of the car because it won't be 5 inches deep into a hole anymore. Because of that it should have a brighter overall appearance even thought the lens has a slight tint. If I can buy brighter bulbs to compensate I will do that as well. - Preferably LEDs.
I'll try to post a photo when its done tomorrow.

I used some water tubing as a spacer to bump forward the turn signal light assembly. I could only find three inch screws in that thread pattern. I would have liked to have used 4 inch and bump them out another inch but hey weren't available so I had to make due.
Bringing the lights out from deep in their hiding place helped the look of the front end all by its self. I should have done this a long time ago.
Here is a shot of the difference. The driver's side lens has been brought forward. The passenger side is still back in the stock location.
I couldn't really get a good shot of how they look in the day due to the glare and the limits of my old 1.3 mega pixel camera but here they are.

After
Night What do you think? Pardon my dead bugs. I actually drive this car.
I considereW that too but covers finish the look. Then I got a good look at it I decided that the front turn signal lights have the high quality construction and finish that you would expect to find on a homemade trailer. There is a reason that Pontiac buried them so deep into the bumper.
Your best bet to get in touch w/ Kris is to call him 352-591-4308 leave a message. Cell # 352-274-0549 leave a message his cell coverage at work is nill to none. Hopefully our email will be up when we get home: Windstream (Alltell) is having issues. Hope this helps.
