But banning people from making useful parts just because "so-and-so used to make them years ago" is ridiculous. There are some really useful parts that aren't made anymore. And nobody else will make them, because the community decided it's taboo. So we all get to suffer.

Aftermarket support for the Fiero is fading fast. The LAST thing the community should be doing is running off the few people who still want to make aftermarket stuff for our cars.

Anyway, enough ranting...

To the OP: I see no problem with reproducing those body parts. AusFiero closed up shop and sold off the molds, so it's not like you're taking money out of his pocket. Plus there are people in the Fiero community who would like to buy those parts.



I feel the same.
