I've seen a few fieros here & there with these type of side rocker panels(thats what i'm calling them till I find out the real name of them lol) and this picture I stumbled across just made me really intriqued:

Totally sweet lol. First off, how much?? Who sells them?

Also could anyone with all pictures of these type of rocker panels(please inform me of the real name of these things lol) post them here so I can get a better view of them. I like them, they look great in the picture above and on Oslo's car for example. I just wanna see more views of it, so when I come back from the Army maybe it'll be a "welcome back" present for my Fiero Thanks guys!

Look like Archies ones.

------------------

!!

I never noticed that on Archies site and i've been to it a million times cause of the checking out the "Finale" info over & over lol. You are right Aus!

Integrated Rocker Panels

So they are called Intergrated Rocker Panels......cool.
http://www.v8archie.com/rocker.htm

From Archies site: $400 a pair.

Not bad.... *scratches chin* lol. Hmm now i'm having a really hard time deciding on if I want Archies IRP's or AusFiero's Stages 2's?? Those people who have Stage 2's and those of you who have Archies IRP's "pitch" to me why you think I should get a pair of either Archie's or AusFieros panels and post pictures too!!! I'm not sure which to get...both are so nice.

I couldn't decide on this question either... so i bought both, still cant decide what im going to use...

Aus's quality is great, very very little sanding on the scoops, and then of course the work to install the door panel pieces if you use them.

Archie's were good, the area by the front fender needed a little work on my set but overall good strong parts... if you end up getting Archie's, be sure you watch the install video before you pull the (I'm a guy I dont need instructions) because there are a few tips and tricks to getting them to fit nicely.

good luck.

------------------

Yeah its a hard decision. They're both great looking & quality, it's a pain lol. I only have 1 Fiero, so I can't really pick both, so Im not sure which to get. Hmmm

IRM made these rockers!! Archie and others who sell them just copied them and are selling them now.

I believe archie bought the molds from irm....
and 007Doug bought the rest of the stuff..

so its not copying, its buying

- put aus' scoops on one side, and archies on the other, problem solved!

I personally say you mix the 2...

That'sd a good idea... I just might look into doing that...

Aus on one side and Archies on the other?? Nah lol.

I got mine for Christmas and didn't get to installing them till last week. Not too bad on the install but it is a two man job. They will be coming back off for painting next week. Looks like I'll have to change my sig.

------------------

Last I checked, www.fierowarehouse.com had a few sets also. Maybe check their pricing too.

The archie ones are slightly 'bigger' than the 'other' versions. I have a set for sale, they come with a free car!! see sig.

The car you show a picture of was built at my shop. It has our rockers on it with a SBC and a Chop Top. The paint was also done here in the Chicago area.

It shouldn't be too hard to figure out where they came from because the picture you posted is on my server.

When you return from the Army, let me know because I give a bit of a discount to our servicemen.

------------------

Yes, I will probably be selling my stage 2's... although my IRMs wont look like them when i'm done

shoot me a pm, we might be able to work something out... I was just going to throw them on ebay and let it go as high as it can, but maybe something can be worked out

I have decided to choose the Intergrated Rocker Panels, I think Aus's creations are INCREDIBLE, just the whole scheme I have planned for my Fiero will look better if I choose the IRP's so I will go that route.

Hahah now a bunch of PFF members are going to start signing up for the Army just to get discounts lol. Hey when I come back will I get a discount on buying a Finale kit?? If so, then that will bump up to the #1 spot of what I want to buy when I come back lol.(first is my dream car, a 2002 Trans Am, then #2 is a 2nd Fiero, then 3rd is the Finale kit for the 2nd Fiero and then IRP's).

So to not let this thread die, I think it would be cool to advertise all sorts of Side Panels & Scoops for the Fiero. So all the newbies, and others who haven't seen so & so scoops can decide here. So post your pictures of so & so scoops and w/e Thanks guys *points to pictures of IRP's lol*

*Bump* Could you guys post all the IRP pictures you have, especially any of close ups of different angles and to be fair post pictures of your other different types of scoops/panels.

talk about thinking ahead...

Sorry but Archie did not buy the molds, he and others just slightly modified the molds. The over all design was made by JIm at IRM. Just because you slightly modify a mold doesnt mean that you are the inventor.
Dont get me wrong here Im not putting any body down here just dont want the original designer of the product name lost in all of this.
