I'm debating this taillight mod. My painter wants to remove all evidence of the "Pontiac" name as well. But I kind of like the stock lights, and the light up "pontiac" is kind of cool. But since it's a bolt-on mod I can do it at anytime.
Yours looks really good!

Since I made the tail lense swap, the only Pontiac badging left is on the driver side head light cover. Now more than ever I get everyone looking at the car - walking around it - and then asking what kind of car it is. After I've finished toying with them a little I tell them it's a Fiero. Many will thell their spouses - both male and female - "See I told you so!" They are not sure at all and then they say "How come it looks nice and long?" Then I add in the chop factor and each and everyone then asks - "How old is the car?" When I say close to twenty years old they can't beleive it.....
Heck, I'm a lonely guy - it gets me the attention I need! =8^)

Madcurl,
I didn't know about the lense cover in carbon. If you give me an url - I'll most certainly check it out.
I drove to Port Huron - got in at about midnight. Stayed in my regular "Knights Inn". Coasted through customs - no problems. Ginger makes it easier for me - not that I had anything to hide....
The car ran very well. No more speedo problem. I get close to 25mpg on the highway. Got home at about noon the next day.
I put in my second stage car alarm on Friday night.... did not take any pictures of it as it minimises the security I'm taking.
I'll send you a PM with pics in it. I'm sure you'll smile!!!
I trust you flight back was OK. How did things work out ar Archie's the next two days?
Dave

Yes. The cabon fiber treatment looks very nice on John Tennay's (Spddy) Fiero. I don't have John's # but you can ask Dale (Songman) for his #
The flight? I had a stop over at LAX. I saw a lot of plastic running around there ( I'm not talking about a credit card, hehe).

I didnt even think anyone used the TPI set up anymore.
Is there a particular reason you went with that engine choice?
Price?
Looks?

Hi guys!
The last few weeks have been pretty slow. After getting back from Fierorama I took care of a couple of mods - as posted.
I'm planning to add the minor inverted scoop from Archie. He's been busy and has not been able to tell me what shipping charges will be to get the fiberglass part to me in Canada.
If I remember - I'll call him again and just get him to get me a price to send it via UPS.
I've moved back into my appartment - and have brought the tools I'll need to take off the hood and do the work on my dining room table.
I also want to change out the spring in my RCC coil overs. Archie said I had 350lbs springs and I need more spring rate - so want to buy 400lbs springs. I've been trying to find a source for the RCC coil over in Canada without any luck. If anyone has a number in the US I can call I'll order them from the US.
I'm still targetting Mr. Mike's leathers for the interior - will get the new visors as well - but will have to wait till a bonus cheque comes in before I can order that.
One good thing about garaging the TAZ for four or five months - means I've got time to do some work.
I've got my Harley up for sale at a local shop - and if I can sell it will have the funds to do everything above.
I'm going to get the car painted in March 07.
Demon asked why I picked the TPI - Well it's what Archie suggested. I really like the look and it's the only one around that I've seen with the version of the intake I have. I opted for the 330hp 350 to keep things in the tamer category. I have to be honest - I did not research it much. After all is said and done - I'm very satisfied with the set-up I have.
