The genesis of this product can be see here: http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/096310.html

As of now, I am making covers for the GT bumper only.



These can be attached in a few different ways.
1) GM part# 15999788 clip is available from your local GM dealer for around $9 each or cheaper online.
2) An extruded "U" nut can be substituted for the more expensive GM clip and can be had at any hardware store for around 50 cents each

Just reach up from underneath the bumper to access the back side and install the clips.

Very nice! I have a Fiero Fiberglass 355i front bumper, thus I am awaiting the rear bumper covers.

Interested, but would like to know about installation. I see no holes in the covers. Is the buyer responsible for drilling the lenses to utilize clips? Secondly, any quantity discount? I'd be up for two sets. Lastly, how durable would you say these might be against rock/gravel chipping or shattering? Love the look, appreciate the big effort put in to make these, just want your opinion on durability for daily driver cars.

Holes are not needed in the covers. If you do not have an aftermerket chin spoiler on your car you should be able to reach up from underneath and install the clips to hold the covers in place. In which case you could get the GM #15999788 clips from your local GM dealership or buy the "U" clips from a hardware store.

The modified clips I sell require you to drill a hole in the bumper in the lamp opening to attach the clip to the bumper as shown in the picture above.

Shipping is figured into the price so an additional pairs would be cheaper if I could get them all into the same box.

The covers are made from 3mm Acrylite FF. While Lexan is more impact resistant than acrylic, acrylic is more scratch resistant than lexan, and does not turn yellow with UV exposure. Light scratches in acrylic can be removed with Novus #2 or #3 plastic polish. As for durability in a daily driver situation, I would think they would hold up just fine. Check out THIS link comparing the two.

Acrylite FF specs can be seen here.

Give me a few weeks, but I am in for a smoked set without clips. Not lip service...

Great looking product. A bit pricey on the face of it, but where else are you going to get these. I can appreciate the effort put forward, and want this as an addition to my GT.
