I Have the offer to purchase one of the scoops that lays kinda flat on top of the roof in the middle. I noticed that a Fiero white Indy pace car had one and it had flashers inside the back part of it.
My question for the Fourm is.... Is there a demand to have a flashing light on that scoop just like the ones on the pace cars?
I can get the scoop and home make that set up just like it.
What kind of price could that bring? Are they made anymore?
Not set on getting it yet so no big deal on the answers ok Thank You, Bill
I have worked with Transparent Acrylic Plexiglass sheets for years now and the molding process has gotten better after a few. Just looking to offer my services and make a little extra dough.
I guess this is really only a "feeler" type of thread.
Just my opinion, but I believe you would be targeting a very small audience of those trying to either repair/replace or replicate the Indy pace cars. That seems like a small portion of an already small audience. Now if you enjoy doing the development and helping out, that would be cool.
Well I see someone on here makes the scoop, but nobody with the lights. I just thought maybe one of the pace car guys may like it or regular car for showy. Sorta upset to find no real instrest. I will move onto another project. Thank you, Bill
I have an orginal snorkel and strobe light. A friend of mine has an aftermarket snorkel with strobe. Another friend did his bracketry for the strobes. See photos. This is a very pricey project. Just don't see how you could make any money in it with such a small market. I have about $2000.00 in my original system.

Me? Upset? No, not really Mr. Patrick. Being I am new to this forum, unlike other car forums that have a more robust participation. That is what I was expecting. Now that I have been on here for a few days I clearly see that this is not as active of a website. So I understand no one replying. I am fine with that, I just didn't know. Was on a hot lead for that scoop and what I could do with it IF I bought it for the Fiero community.
Mr. Paced84, That is the scoop I was referring to. WOW $2000 into it? I did not price out the strobes at that time to give you a better dollar figure. But it had all the mounting hardware for the scoop. All I had to do was make a fiberglass "shelf" add lights and plexi. My price would have been $100 + the strobes. I have everything else. Could have made and sold for under $400.( depending on the strobes No it would NOT be OEM, but I could have made it for a clone, or for some young guy to sport it around and look cool.
Bill, I was only quoting what you yourself had posted.

I'd be interested to know what automotive forums there are online more active than this one that are strictly limited to a line of cars only made in the mid to late 80's.
I suspect RCR hit the nail on the head...

Mr. Patrick, Not car only fourms in particular. http://garageforum.org/ ls1.com Place I hang out every now and then under another name as well as a few others. I am not trying to disrespect you or this forum in any way at all.
Yes Mr. RCR explained it well. For me...low instrest to me means no worries about it at all. I was just trying to lend my BWskills for this forum.

Bill, it's appreciated... but you've got to keep in mind that this entire forum is dedicated to a car that was only made for five years, and that was 30+ years ago.
I know all about dead forums and/or little interest. I bought a '98 JDM Subaru Impreza STi a couple years ago. Trying to find relevant data and knowledgeable people online to help troubleshoot this JDM vehicle has been extremely frustrating. If I could find an English speaking forum anywhere in the world that has a fraction of the traffic (and helpful members) that this forum has, I'd be absolutely delighted.
