If you're referring to Blacktree, his one off creation connects everything and is not a direct replacement... lol
But if you know of some product thats currently in the works or that already exists, please point me in the right direction! I'd love to take a look and consider purchasing if the quality is high[This message has been edited by doublec4 (edited 03-08-2008).]

First of all, thanks to everyone for the compliments. I have to admit, my inspiration for the tail lamp pods was in fact from Ferraris (also the rear diffuser). I hope they don't sue me. 
Second of all...
Making a stock-replacement tail lamp panel using 4" diameter lights for the notchback Fiero isn't feasible. Actually, it's impossible to do without modifying something. That's why you don't see anyone selling them.
If you were to attempt to build a tail lamp panel using 4" lights to replace the stock units, it would need to be taller than the stock tail lamp housings. You would need to chop out part of the decklid to make room. Then there's the question of what to do about the trunk lock (modify the mounting setup, or make a dip in the tail lamp panel?). And so on.
While such a thing might be "do-able", it won't be a drop-in replacement for the stock tail lamps. Even with the tail lamp panel sitting in your lap, you'll only be halfway there.

Yeah, I was referring to Blacktree, just a lame joke. His taillight mod is really looking good; it would be nice to see something like this commercially available.

Well... the lights don't have to be 4inches... if they were less the would fit without modification to the decklid... some nice leds ------------------

Hey Tony, thanks for the photos. I especially like the "on the roll" shot. Mind if I borrow that?

I wonder if someone could produce a set of taillights that would look like that and fit in the stock notchback housing.
