Have you thought about reaching out to the Warmack brothers (the guys behind the new Trans Am cars) for guidance? Since they successfully obtained a license, maybe they can help advise you? You can reach them through www.transamdepot.com

how about working up a deal with the Fiero Store... they already have permission and you would not be competing with them as they don't sell lenses, Maybe go through them and pay them a bit over the royalty fee or give them a discount on some they could sell on there website.

My team and I have explored and determined the best business plan to bring the lenses to production. Thank you for your input.

My team and I have worked out how to deal with GM in a way that best suits all involved. Thank you for your input.

This set is nearly perfect. But I can't wait to get the email saying they're ready. These will go into storage because there's not telling how brittle they are at 30+ years old.

Those ARE absolutely beautiful!!! When you put them into storage you need to make sure they are in a temperature controlled environment as (ultimately) the heat is what will damage the lamination. These Fieros really are beautiful cars.

The lens cover we are making--over all--is really quite simple but GM has made the project so complicated it is mind numbing. The DOT is actually laughingly simple and jut as useless and stupid--but that is another story. This process is all about liabilities and making as much money as possible and still have a carrot out there enough to keep the project moving forward. Obviously I have way too much capital in the project to do anything but continue pounding away. We believe the technical people who we are working with now will give us better direction. Sadly if we would have had these people on board two months ago we would be further ahead. Still, it is really out of our hands. Believe me, my contact at GM is well aware of my frustrations and the costs to me this delay is causing. Still, even with 14000 people less it is a big company and the wheels move slowly.
