Well I saw your post somewhere about the aerokits.com bumper. That is basically what I want my rear end to look like, and it's at a real good price. I'm not sure if I have the skills to make it work just yet. Somewhat similar to fourpoint9's notchie rear, to a point.

The bumper I posted in another thread would require a lot of cutting and fitting but I wouldn't put it past a lot of people on the forum to make it work. For a long time now, I've been looking for more of a "bolt on" piece for the fiero aero rear bumper.

Ya, same here. I don't have the ability to chop it up and graft it together without something going wrong.

I am talking to whodeanie about making a proper rear diffuser mod for the aero bumpers. One thats's simple, easy to add, and elegant.
He's game so far... Just need a couple more people to share the intitial mold costs.

Got the LED fog lights installed today. They come on with the parking lights.

I started a thread a while back about tapping into a 12V source thats hot with the parking lights. I found an easy and convenient one inside the front compartment.

Theres a light inside the front compartment (sort of like a trunk light) that comes on only when the front hood is popped AND the parking lights are on. If the parking lights are off, and the front compartment is open it still doesn't come on. Perfect! I cut that useless light off and ran the LED fog light wires to it. Now the only problem was that when the hood is closed, the LED lights won't work. Easy problem to solve. The little button near the hood latch controls that. Just grab your wrench and unthread the button. Then grab a small piece of wire and bypass the button by connecting the two wires. Wrap it up in electrical tape. Now the fog lights work with the hood shut.

I'll have to take a few pictures when it gets darker. You can see them in the daylight too, but it will look better at night anyways.

I managed to snap some pictures of the new LED "fog lights" (more like accent lighting)





It looks great at night with the HID lights. I wanted to get some pictures last night but it was raining. Maybe tonight, but it looks like more rain in the forecast. I also took a couple pictures of the exterior with the side scoops and interior with the new steering wheel. I haven't really taken many pictures of the interior lately!

I forgot, one more thing to add.

Since one of the LED fog light things I got in the mail didnt work, the ebay seller sent me a replacement pair. Well, I had one spare light... hmmm what to use it for?

Third brake light!

Mine has been burnt out for I don't know how long. I figured why not make a LED third brake light. Turned out that it was really easy and took all of maybe 15 minutes.

First thing you need to do is remove the third brake light and gather all of your parts:



Then, try and fit the LED light inside the stock housing. You may need to grind down some of the LED housing:



Then come up with a mounting solution (I used the supplied brackets and a little double sided tape:



Snap the lens back over top and test out your light:



I'll have to get night pictures of it and see how bright it is. At least this light won't melt the housing like the original bulbs did.

Just wanted to show off my buddy's 85 Supra a bit. Hit the gym today with him and he brought it along. Perfect picture opportunity!





We're taking it back to the 80s!
