I tried to send you a pm but says you can't receive messages

Who, me? It must be full again. Gotta clean that out. :rolleyes:

BTW, the headlight "doors" on a '69 RS aren't "handed," they're the same left and right (which is NOT true of a '67-'68). I know. I have the complete grille and doors from my old '69 SS/RS hanging in my garage.

I was talking about say passenger side that slides left revealing headlight and driver side slides right revealing the headlight placement on the grill how the light is revealed know what I mean

I looked more at the grill from shapeway and it looks 

Like the headlight housing like the 1st picture snake45 posted 

And if so I think it's the way to go lenses would be my next

Issue I'd like to thank everyone for your help in this topic 

Mr.mopar Mr. Obsessive rat-t  snake45 if anyone knows of lenses 

For the grill not the stock ones by all means let me know

The headlights are the same between RS and non-RS Camaros, so the kit "lenses" should work fine.

If you mean the clear parts in the doors, they're just clear plastic glass or plastic, with some fancy grillework over them. The purpose of the slots/grille was so if the retracting mechanism broke (or just got frozen with ice or snow), a least SOME light could get out, unlike the '67-'68 design. The doors were vacuum actuated, and there was a switch on the vacuum thingie you could flip and they would stay open all the time. I used to do that on mine from time to time just for a different look. (I never really liked the RS design in those days and replaced the whole grille with a standard unit when I had the car painted in 1978, which is why I have the RS grille hanging in my garage today even though the car is long, long gone.)
