Sorry Rick. Due to the snow storm, I got held-up 15 miles outside Armarrillo TX, Gallup NM, and Flagstaff, NV. I was partly ahead of it....the storm was chasing me.

Wingless? Yes! Beside, with a choptop you can't see out the rear view mirror. The wing is in the way unless you raise it by 3"

Thanks Exoticse for posting pics.

Yes, under the OEM seat location, as you know the wing isn't so annoying or 100% in you way but! With a chop the seat is dropped by 2" and the front window where the rear view mirror is located.....puts the wing straight in the way. Yes, you can see above the wing but the B-piller is dropped by 3" making your area of vision very tight. It's hard trying to see a Cop in your rear.

EDIT: Also I removed the stock third brake light. It too is or was in the way. I plan on using a after-market third brake lights.

No. Rubbers are in the garage awaiting the chop. I was at a local Chevy dealership looking at a rear third window. I think it will work according to drawing? 36" long by 58" wide and 10" height. Chop is 9 1/2" high, 58" wide, but 26" long.

Example:

New Fiero Store floor mats are beautiful! I highly recommend them over stock floor mats to match ACC blk carpet. Even the Fiero crest logo looks great! Got a K&N so that the N* can breath easier, hehehehe.

Since I regularly log-in I got a mouse pad too w/key ring.

Next: I'm call'n Mr. Mikes!
