Interesting. I also have a set which were in the boxes. I let the boxes get rained on, to the point of ruin. I saved the labels. They had the GM trademark on them and, none of the numbers resemble yours.
I would like to have the boxes after who ever buys them, no longer need the boxes.
For those that missed out on this buy, the Fiero Stores premium quarter windows are exact reproductions of the originals. The quality is also superb and I couldn't find any defects in them at all.

What is the fit like and are they made out of the harder plastic with the greenish tint?
The other repops are a good replacement but the fit fell short from top to bottom and the perfectly clear plastic stuck out like a sore thumb. But, when you have nothing and you placed them just right, they looked better than shot originals.
I never like the re-pros that have been available for years. Not the the curve isn't there, the GT logo are positioned too far forward.
Looking to get a set from TFS soon. If Dennis said it, it must be good.
The PREMIUM GT quarter windows sold by the Fiero Store, were put back into production by two former GM technical guys who worked at the Fiero Plant. To my eyes they look like new OEM windows with the perfect identical contour. I may not be an authority on these but the ones that I examined on a friends GT looked stock. I doubt if a show judge could tell that they are repros as they were probably made of the same material the same way GM made them on similar tooling .

Not to get off topic to the respect to this thread, but not many members that bought TFS GT windows haven't posted a dozen or more photo shots of them on their fiero. That's one problem...
I agree with Fiero Vice, why can't they get rid of the too dark green tint so you can actually see the GT logo like the originals? Then everyone would buy them!!
Except for the greenish tint, you would know right away that it's not perfect.
Such a shame that they went 95% of the way & stop short of making it perfect.
I would encourage them to go the rest of the way & find a way to get rid of that greenish color. Then, it'd sell like a hotcake.
The originals had a greenish tint. Look at the pictures of the originals in this thread. They do have the tint. GM made it this way to match the shaded windows and windshield.

You are correct and I was going to comment on that but I'm guessing (hoping) he was saying that the repop was too dark of green. I don't know if that is the case as I never had the new, higher quality windows in my hands.
I have used the other ones and as I had stated, they are crystal clear and very noticeable.
