I love the custom lips or spoilers that I see on a lot of fieros, but I also noticed a difference with some being smooth (ala Kameo Kid)and some being sort of notched (ala Ski).


Her is a visual comparison to show you what I mean.

Example: Kameo Kid's added lip on thelower front fascia is smooth.


Whereas skitimes fascia lip has a notched opening at the bottom:


I have seen the thread how ski's is made, but personally I prefer the Style of Kameo Kids lip (No offense SKi lol, your car speaks for itself).

How does one get the notchless lip ? does it involve filling in the gap ?

Just trying to figure this one out.

My 2 cents wort here.

Ski's is a the lower part of a front facia turned upside down then just bolted to the existing pacia.

Kameo's I believe is a fiberglass one. Probably a old IRM or Racetech or something along those lines. To see a good example check out Fiero warehouse and you can see how the one made by Sage slips over the facia.

i bought one a while back traded it for some labor but honestly i dont care for either of them, im not sure who it is but i think its old IRM stuff or something they make a lip spoiler that has a hole in the center and 2 light pockets on each side... those are the cool ones

I'm not sure who made it but I believe it came from the Fiero store, have to do some checking on that for someone else.. but if you knew who may have been a supplier for them ??

didn't want anyone to think that i was jerking their chain or something.. besides there is alot that you can do with a phone number even if it is dissconnected, trust me i work for SBC, and if there are some other telecommunications people out there that work in that area they may be able to find out some info on the company.. plus I may do some more research on it and see if there still in bussiness..

Doug at the Fiero Warehouse just aquired all the molds from IRM and will be producing them again. http://www.fierowarehouse.com/ is the web site.

Fiero Warehouse has the GT airdam "lip" in production now. I've seen them. They're quite nice! Almost makes me wish I had a GT nose on my car, so I could get one.

FWIW, Doug's purchase of the IRM tooling is probably one of the best things that could have happened for the Fiero community in a long time. If you've ever purchased any other items from Fiero Warehouse /Doug / Sage Glassworks, then you know these "formerly IRM" pieces are going to be first-rate.

I too am looking forward to having FieroWarehouse gear up production of the old IRM stuff!

I have a feeling that mold is sold by Racetech, as someone mentioned earlier. their website is http://www.thefieroshop.com

you cannot order from them online as of yet I don't think. But if you want to contact them I think thats what you are looking for.

I might be wrong, give them a call they do sell a chin spoiler, I know that for sure but whether its the same, I dont know.

Hey guys in regard to the Kameo chin spoiler, I talked to reality and he thinks, (I repeat thinks ), they may have found it, but no timetable yet on when it will go into prodution.

He said Doug the guy who actually owns the molds is the guy to talk to in terms of a timetable.

Reality and his father Sage will be the ones actually producing the old IRM parts for Doug.

Great NEWS !

I was actually wrong about this chin spoiler. Its not solid like Kameo Kid's. It is similar but there is another hole in it. It can be seen on their website. I'm planning on picking one up tonight
