I just spoke with my wife. I'm in for the weekend build. I'll be there if someone can give me direction from indianapolis. I also talked to my roommate, he wants to ride up with me to tint the car. He's been tinting for 10 years and does INCREDIBLE WORK. Consider the window tint taken care of. I'll leave friday the 20th so i'll need to work out some hotel arrangements if anyone can help. I'll also bring the ground fx with me. I have a spray booth in my garage so i can paint the ground fx before hand if need be, or should I just prep them and leave the paint to the body shop? |

That is Awesome!!!!!! On thing if you are going to paint the ground fx make sure to get extra paint then we can use that to do the rest of the gray that needs to be done so it all matches. We are kind of waiting on what we will do for a body man so lets hold off a bit before you do that...
I just got back from Indy 2 weeks ago!!!!! National FFA Convention! Yeah I was one of those b**t**dS that made you late for work and made extra lines everywhere in the 50 mile radius! haha it is easy, but I will advise you to stay out of Chicago. It is easy to bypass and well worth it. Go up to Pioria, IL to Rockford and then there is a major freeway cut accross over to WI Then just stay on the Interstate and hit Minneapolis. its a solid 16hrs, but not to bad!

I believe GT will be fine in white, with the red line in the middle of the lettering.. Like the G is two lines, one inside the other with a gap between, if you put red in there, that would look great.
I leave it up to Tyler and Nick, and AWESOME that Chris is willing to help.

Oh! And if they can be tinted, that would be great. It would go along with the windows. 
Minnesota tint laws do not allow anything darker than 50% plus or minus 3%.. The Quarter windows do not count.. But the normal windows do.
He could probably safely get away with 30 or 35% up there.. He will be a local celebrity.

In more ways than one. I have been spreading this thread around, because I am trying to get coverage for Tyler's story. There are doctors out there who have undoubtedly dealt with people who are or have gone through the same thing. My goal is to get this to someone who can step up to the plate and say "I have worked with this before, let's see what we can do."

One thing I left out in my previous post is this morning I asked Tyler about the intake and valve covers. He said the stock colors would be nice and what would be Really cool is white/black or white/silver to match the car. I like that idea. That was one of his ideas he had this morning.
As fast as the tint. I have 15% on my car and I only got one ticket. haha Tyler was with on that one. We were cruisin to much..... I think we can push the envelope a little and maybe like 30%.
We talked about the passenger side window and he seems to think it could be a loose wire or bad switch. It works intermittedly.

Broken wire in the rubber conduit between the door and the chassis. I had that happen on my car as well. Can be fixed, but not easy.
fieroguy123 is on the ball. We now have sail panels being made as we speak by the guy who made the ones listed above. He will also be coming up to Frazee for the weekend, along with his wife and friend by the sounds of it. We have an event!
Infinite Will, please send the door molding piece to the address that Nick listed above. We'll get that up there and get it ready to roll when we get up there.

My local audio shop is reviewing this thread with intent to donate the required stereo equipment we need to finish his audio system. I'll keep you all posted on that one. And as far as the tint goes, rod carries 50, 35, 20, and 5. I think 35% is going to be the safe bet. He uses the best film on the market, there will be nothing to worry about when he's finished. He is the only guy in the U.S. who has tinted a bughatti Veyron. He's very good.
Also I just wanted to say this... All of you out there who have stepped up and reached out to tyler and contributed to his dream will be rewarded in the end. The Fiero community has the biggest heart of any car organization I have ever seen and it is nothing short of amazing. We are the true definition of a family and it will be recognized by others as a good deed and an excellent example of what every organization should be. Thanks to you all.
