Saw the eBay ad and it makes one wonder how this product is unfolding. The covers look nice but at $400 for two pieces of plastic, they are very expensive. I believe that they need to be around $200/pr for sales to really take off. Time will tell. BTW, if this was the mysterious Slammed, why would this person not post here that items are ready for sale now.

Slammed said in the long thread about the covers she wouldn't sell them on here. He she it said she got too much abuse here and would only sell them on E-bay.

That's this persons loss as thousands of Fiero owners hang out here. I don't know what the problem is, as we have dozens of good long time vendors here that handle things properly. Russ, Thomas, Rodney, Ryan., Roger, Fiero Store, just to name just a few. All that is needed to be successful here is to follow proper protocol but Slammed chose to make promises that were not kept, operate secretly and without any transparency. Now they post a phone number on eBay????? OK, still wish them luck but IMO, at $400/set they won't sell in volume.

Well I just jumped in again and bought another set of these on ebay this time. I hope she delivers this time. She had them listed for $400 then dropped the price to $350. I submitted an offer for $335 and it was immediatly accepted. I'll let you know how it goes and how they look.

Hahahaha? Really?? The way she was treated here, it should come as no surprise that she showed this place the middle finger, and I don't blame her a bit.

Exactly what I was thinking.
Rodney was horrible to her, she produced them though, haven't heard a peep from him since.
Everyone just talked about how to make them, she did it, give her some credit.

Show me any proof that I said anything negative in anyway about these overlays. To use these overlays one cuts out sections of their original lenses and glues these overlays over their original lenses. This person has produced these overlays and is selling them. I have not said one word about these overlays.
I called this person a psychotic compulsive/pathological liar for claiming to have made new lenses. Claiming to have made molds that were sold for $20,000. Claims to have sold 4 pairs of reproduction lenses from these molds (remove the old lens and snap in this new lens).
I made a web page searching for the person that bought these $20,000 molds and I have looking for a recipient of a pair of these reproduction lenses. To date no one has contacted me.
To date 1500 people have viewed this web page and I have not had one person reply on the whereabouts of these $20,000 molds or one pair of these reproduction lenses.
Don't forget there are two different products being discussed here. Reproductions lenses and overlays. The overlays are real. The reproduction lens thing IMO is 100% a sham. If someone someday contacts me with proof/information on these $20,000 molds or proof of a pair of reproduction lenses that were made from these molds I will apologize here to no end. I'm 100% sure that day will never come.

Thin overlays? These are thicker than the original lenses beneath and will survive multiple harsh blows from a hammer
I'd start writing up that apology now by the way. You've got one hell of an attitude towards someone who never did you wrong.
[This message has been edited by Slammed (edited 06-24-2016).]
I removed the thin wording. I have no doubt I will never ever offer any kind of apology for the reproduction lens sham.
Or are you going to now offer proof the $20,000 molds exist or supply proof of someone that bought a pair of these four reproduction lenses made from these $20,000 lenses?

So much effort for someone who doesn't believe. You know, making a specific thing on your website and meeting with an "expert", not to mention all the posts that are just rude for no reason.
They'll be for sale soon. I can't say where but I think you know
Yes. You are absolutely right! I do not believe the four pair of replacement lenses(not overlays) that you said were sold by you and the $20,000 aluminum die stuff that was sold to someone.
Did I not write that clear enough?? Some here might believe you on that but I do not. I do believe you are making the overlays. I have never posted anything on the overlays.

I'd like to have a set...buy I agree $400 is a bit pricey for me. I think sales will take off as these are seen. I would still like to see how they look. Perhaps I'm just too dense, but I seem to be misding something. No, I'm not willing to cut up any of my lenses, but some protection would be nice. I'm not sure how these could be attached to protect, without damaging the lens underneath, and don't believe they're a removable solution.
Slammed, you deserve every bit of the abuse you got from people here. You took money from people for parts you never shipped, and failed to even keep them up to date with any information. Perhaps to you four hundred bucks is chump change, but to most Fiero owners it's a lot of money, and you kept them hanging for months. There were a lot of chances for you to take the high road, but you didn't. Even now it might not be to late to go go this way, but you blame others for you treatment, and continue to stay on the low road and attack others. I'd paint my tail light bulbs red and let them hang on the back of my car before I buy anything from you.
I have never blamed anyone else and have always taken full responsibility. The people that bought parts from me did wait and it was awful, but I never, ever, disrespected them and have apologized to them profusely.
There is no low road taken. I have attacked Patrick and Rodney, maybe someone else I can't think of who, both of which were never involved and are just downright nasty.
I don't know what else anyone would want from me. I gave parts or money back, and am selling in a secure way offering as much help as I can. Yes. I screwed up. I am sorry.

I get criticized by your fanboys (and/or your PFF aliases) for "derailing" threads involving you... so I stayed out of this one. But then you feel the need to bring my name up. You must miss me.
I'm "downright nasty", eh? Me thinks you just don't like being reminded of the runaround you've put numerous people through, along with the absolutely bizarre excuses for doing so.
Don't forget the Jet City Fieros meeting on July 13th. Heck, I'll reimburse the club for your meal if you attend. Be a guest of honor, show off your products, and cost me some money. Win-win for you. Seems like a helluva offer to me!

You are distorting the facts. I had nothing to say on the overlays. I have never posted in your overlay topic. Here it is. Show me where I posted anything:
All my comments I ever posted were on the replacement lenses (not the overlays) and the $20,000 aluminum molds. Or did some here pay for and receive replacement lenses (not overlays) or pay for and receive a refund of a pair of replacement lenses (not overlays)? If so I think they should chime in here. Anyone??

I have no beef in this fight. But what was done is done, so why don't we see if we can try to give another shot and hopefully can have a reputable vendor this time so we can start to see taillights get repaired that have been beyond fixing. Just my thought take it or leave it.
I got a fedex tracking number today (actually 2 of them. they must be shipping in separate packages), doesn't show shipped yet. Tracking shows delivery by july 5th. I'll keep you posted. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this isn't a repeat of last time.
[This message has been edited by aldan78 (edited 06-25-2016).]
I called the number and left a message yesterday. A guy called me back (I was having reception issues but I think his name was Garret?). It is a google number which they are using for their apparently new business (the email he gave me is linked to a website domain which hasn't been built/published yet. They are planning notchback lens covers for the end of summer and it sounds like they have capability of doing custom lettering. If they keep their deliveries up, I'll be buying at least one set.
I see in the reflection he is giving us all a thumbs up.

Much of the skepticism expressed about these lens covers had to do with the way the product was introduced and presented. Too many conflicting stories and reports posted here to be believed. Recently Slammed has been selling on eBay and shipping lens covers. We will probably never know the real story of how the product was developed but if covers are shipped that helps build Slammed's positive rating and worthiness as a seller. If the product line develops further into other products like quarter windows that would be good. Time will tell.

All the neighsayers, PLEASE give it a rest! ALl the name calling and conspiracy theories Please, enough is enough, seriously....
Ok, so the lens is NOT a full and complete lens like the intention was when starting out, things happen!
What has been produced are lenses that are 80% of what was originally talked about, and they are pretty much flawless. This certainly shows that a lot of time and effort and research went into this. Molds were made, lettering templates and application technique perfected, On top of that some serious plastic forming has been mastered.
This is something I have seen people say in MANY threads that just was not possible to do. Now a much needed product is available to Fiero GT Owners. The lens covers have received rave reviews from members here on the forum that purchased, and took deliver of them.
Sure, communication and order delivery have been... well, to be honest, pretty much horrible in the past. Things seem to be improving, and a new product is now available. Why can't people just be grateful for this!

It is not what was produced. It is the pathological/compulsive liar thing that seems to upset most here (especially me, I have a real thing against liars of this magnitude). This person wholeheartedly claims to have made $20,000 molds and four pair of reproduction lenses. Not overlays. So where are the $20,000 molds and these four pair of reproduction lenses? I for one want to know the truth. I am certainly very unhappy this person thinks we are all so gullible here that we all believe these tall tales. I took a stand against this pathological/compulsive liar and called him on the carpet for his lies. To him I am a terrible person for doing that. Pathological/compulsive liars hate anyone that challenges their lies. If some here don't like me for doing that then so be it (I received more than a few negatives for doing just that). I could not just stand by and do nothing.
Will he make more products? Will the pathological/compulsive liar/drama thing continue? I bet it will. Time will tell. ------------------ Rodney Dickman

Hey Rodney, where's your proof? Don't worry. I'll wait.
Remember that time I gave you exact details of the process and posted pictures of multiple flawless lenses that no one would have just lying around, that also never showed up for sale on ebay or anywhere else besides here? Ring a bell? You wreak of desperation to get those molds or a way to copy them.

You posted pictures of the tops. When I repeatedly asked for pictures of the sides and backs you told me to pfk off. The exact answer a compulsive/pathological lair would give. An honest, ethical and professional person would post multiple pictures of the backs and sides to make sure everyone could see what he was saying was the truth. The only defense a pathological/compulsive liar has is anger and more lies.

You know, repeating that isn't going to get me riled up and post them. Yes I'll show the exact way they were made to the second biggest Fiero parts vendor on the planet...

Not in the least bit. After all this drama stuff on these lenses I have been working with retailers of other car makes and models to produce products for others cars. i have many contacts around the world to work with. I will be supplying other retailers with these parts. I'm getting old. This way I have parts made and send the whole batch to a retailer. They can retail them. This has opened up a new and exciting adventure for me. Thanks for that. Every cloud has a silver lining.
