Special thanks to
Norm's Fiberglass
Fiero Store

And last but not least to the people of this site that I have learned so much from while doing this project. Without each and everyone of you my efforts would not be appreciated!

I can not wait to put them on my car. I think your products will just highlight what I have already done.
Thank God I remembered that you made them!

Yes they are, they only have about 10K on them since put on the car.
I sandblasted the rims, then cleaned and painted them. With the new suspension on the car it looks better now then when it was stock.....

thanks

We do need to meet and share stories and ideas....

I have in my lower garage a sandblasting cabinet, Welder (mig) all the tools that I would need to do anything and weekends free!
I will be going to Charlotte in the AM, we have an office with a new server so my crew is doing the work. I am taking the BMW K1200LT down for the trip. I should only be a half a days worth of work. Then off to the Blueridge for some riding!

Just let me know when you have sometime!

Talk to you soon!

Grills

I will post some pictures of the grills on Saturday since it is getting late here.... I will show you what I did..
In the easy form I just drilled out the rivits and sandblasted the whole thing. Then I primed the grills then painted them.
I used self tapping screws to put back in the holes and they were done! Simple but effective....

Headlights
The output was a little less then I expected, but working with the headlights for two nights I was able to get them just right.
I get more looks with the new headlights then any other mod that I have done. Norm's headlights are worth the effort.
I paid a little less then what he is selling them now for since a man needs to make a profit on his products. With all of the work that Norm does to these headlights he was not charging enough for the labor and parts.... WE almost lost him doing this since it was not profitable for him. So even though the price went up to cover the costs I still would have bought these.... the cool factor out weights any issues!

Thanks

Thanks Norm, I am spreading the word on your headlights. They are a must have! I love them. Everywhere I go someone has something nice to say about them....

I like the amount of light that I get out of them and the way that they look. Besides Mr. Mikes leather seats, yours (product, headlights) have added so much to my Fiero.

THANKS FOR MAKING THESES! DO NOT STOP, THEY ADD CLASS!


To all of you, thank you without you this project would not have happened. I read, review, ask questions and then read more... with the knowledge on this board you can do anything with a Fiero. It just takes time and money...... I have the time

Hey Norm,
I need to talk to you about the headlight information, the fabricators are interested in mass producing the fiberglass parts out of Alum. and having it powered coated for you. Just send me a PM and we can talk about it. They need a fiberglass model already done without hardware......

I will give you the number and you guys can work out the details....... Just trying to help!!!

Updated Grill pictures

I drilled the heads off the rivets and left the rivet base in the hole....
then I used self tapping screws to make threads in the old rivets in the base
I then sand blasted the whole works and only took around one hour
primed the grills
rattle can painted the grills black and the diffuser in a red that matched the engine

waited for the whole thing to dry
then just drove the car for about an hour
place the old grills on the hood as they are to be installed and let the engine bake on the paint

riveted the rubber back on
screwed the red diffuser back on the grills
drove around for a little while with them installed and baking in the paint
got back to the garage and that new car smell flooded the garage (new paint smell)

that is how I did it, now for the pictures!





More to come on the side pictures and it's home

Looks very nice.

We have used an orbital buffer with the plenum off the car but I am not sure how you could do it without a mess on the car.

Thanks for the heads up, I will try that idea with a lot of towels all around so I do not spray the whole car with polishing gum....
LOL anyway, I will post what the outcome looks like, I just put in the new black carpet this last weekend and boy does that look great...


Talk to you soon and thanks again
