***SOLD***

I have, or will be, posting a tail lamp restoration service message in The Mall. Just completed my fourth set of GT tail lamps and these are the best I've done yet. Check out the restoration post if you want to see more about the process that I am using. These tail lamps were in excellent condition to begin with: very little delamination, no cracks, no gouges and the inner reflective plating was in excellent condition. I decided to refinish them as the delamination would only spread ... just like they always do. The final product is amazing ... the crystal clear coat that I use is likely shinier than when they were new. I will be listing these on ebay for $800, but thought that I'd first offer them up to the Fiero community ... probably the same group that might purchase them from ebay anyway. Price for forum members is $725 plus shipping. Shipping is probably in the neighborhood of $40-$50 depending on how far you are from 75077 as the lenses including packaging weigh about 20lbs.
My camera is old (like me) and my photography skills are marginal, but the following pics are the best that I could do. The tail lamps actually look better in person than they do in these pics.

Those look great and all that but the price will likely chase many people away, especially given the fact that new ones are coming soon for around $400/pair from Ktgoodyear. They are UV resistant and tougher than the originals. I have the last pair of originals on my 88GT but I am planning on purchasing his as good insurance. Hope yours sell for you, but you must be aware of the new ones coming for a far better price..

Agreed. That price for a refurb set with a fixed crack might be a little much

There were no cracks in either of these lenses as stated I the second line of my post. Perhaps you were referencing my post for tail lamp lens restoration ... I did repair a crack in that lens (lens was for my car), but not the two that are for sale. Yes, the price is not cheap, but I did pay a substantial amount for these tail lamps. The price pretty much reflects what I've got into them and what I charge for restoration.
