Speaking of VDC kits, I just finished designing my set, and am going to start figuring out the best way to have them made. After a set has been made, I'll test them out to see if anything I designed needs to be beefed up. Since I have never seen a hinge in person, I had very few options on how to scale the parts. Basically used common sense and the constraints of space, but until I actually get one built, I won't be able to fine tune things. When I get these done, they will be completely bolt on ready for the Fiero. And I may decide to sell a few if it's not too difficult or expensive to reproduce. I have seen whats out there now, and it sure seems to me that they sell these at extremely high costs that must be attributed to R & D, supply, and the fact it's something that people will just pay that much for. If I do decide to sell a few, they won't be as expensive as the ones I have seen, and if something changes that makes them cost that much, then I'll be sure to let you guys know why. And I probably won't sell them. Sorry to change the subjet......Lets see some more pics of the mods that are underway.

I don't mind. My ideas are nothing new. They have been done on different cars before which, I too have copied.
News: My trip to BAK was great! We got most of the work done on the rt. fender flare and vent molded in. It's a ruff fit and needs some smoothing. My goal is to help out in the process so that the other side can be finished w/o me being there at the shop. The IRM rocker is removeable with bolts to hold it in place. The bolts are placed from the inside of the vent or front area of the fender well. The top of the fender flares "kisses" the edge of the 305's. THe apprearance is "stock" looking w/o a none knowing Fiero person thinking it has been modified? Too me it looks and feels like a "stock" look but rather a stealthy body feel. If things work out, I'll be back to finish the Camero bow-tie tips, front fender flaring, and rear bumber. I have new pics now. Exoticse might post them once he gets home? Remember, it's not 100% finished. There are few areas that need attention, but you get the idea. So grab some popcorn and enjoy. Madcurl.

Thanks Orville for sharing a rear clip from your "field of Dreams." That rear clip will have a "new" life on #? (insert secret part here). btw, no good rear clips were cut. Orville had a FB rear clip that was already cut and part of Orville's DNA on it, hehehe. I didn't know that black widows hide out inside a rear "b" clip?
