Right now there are no other plans in the works until i get my investment capital back. The other problem is quantity. I suspect there is very little demand for this component. ------------------

Hello everyone.
My congratulations to kgoodyear for the work he is doing for the lens taillight. But make it a success because with this it will restore the life to the fierce gt to a certain extent. I also hope that it is not the only project dedicated to the owners of fiero so that they continue on the streets.
Thank you

Thank you!
Exactly what I am interested in is a set of tinted lenses with the perimeter and center masking, but with no "PONTIAC" lettering. Perhaps a stylized "Formula" script, but that's just "pie in the sky".
(I can edit in a pic of what I'm interested in, later on. I have some emblems, but can't find any pics online. This would be an admittedly small market. To include folks who have added fastback clips to Formulas. Probably all six or eight of us. Obviously, I expect there would be an up-charge.)
Is any of that do-able? If not I will have to readjust my paradigm, a bit. But it is what it is.

I think that you are way overestimating my abilities.
But I'm here, regardless. Still need to shoot some pics of my emblems.

I've been watching this thread for quite some time and first off, thanks for taking on this project. I have a couple of questions regarding tinted w/ decorations and clear w/ decorations. I think I read somewhere that the decorations were to mimic the original taillights, so does that mean clear w/ decorations will look exactly like original lenses? Am I correct in thinking that the tinted w/ decorations will look like a "blackout" panel unless the brake/turn/pontiac lamps are lit?
Are the final costs still around $375-400/set? If one was to buy multiple sets, any break on total cost or on shipping?

Hey Ferg. Thanks for visiting. The original sets had the decorations welded into the clear lens. The different expansion coefficients to expand and contract at different rates causing the delamination so common with the GT lenses. Ours are painted in a special way I have yet to document for my records but tests show it seems to work to industry standards. They are more accurate than the originals as the originals had minor imperfections in the lettering
Right now, I am not sure how dark the lenses will be tinted. I would welcome some suggestions.
Yes, we are anticipating the clear with decorations to be from $350 -> $400 plus shipping. As far as large orders are concerned, I would have to visit with you by e-mail: Keith.goodyear@bellyacrestudios.com. Currently we don't have any price structuring.
I hope I have answered your questions. If not, feel free to rephrase them and I will see you get your answers.
