Nightmare on Elm Street Part II: My customs broker just let me know that customs has decided to open my package to make sure i'm not importing AMD's into the country. He says there is no telling when they will release it. WAH!
And while they're doing that, the anthrax, plastic explosives, and chemical agents slip right on by.
------------------ Whade' "The Duck Formerly Known As Wade" Duck '87 GT Auto '88 Ferrario '84 Indy (8/26/06)
I received a call last Tuesday about my F355 nose awaiting customs clearance. I hired a customs broker to handle the paperwork for $75+ any duties. I received another call today arranging for delivery this Friday. I can hardly wait. I will post pics as soon as I get it unpacked, pics taken and loaded onto my computer. Will probably be late Friday or early Saturday. Thanks for all of your hard work on this Timo!
If I start making waves, they'll do a full body cavity search on me. I import stuff all the time. This is the first time they've looked inside, including containers I've brought in. I've heard they pretty much rip everything apart and then leave it for someone else to clean up.
Remember I was the guy that didn't mind you cutting everything up to make shipping easier? Well, the irony is that they might slice up my fiberglass looking for the notorious Fiero Flux Capacitor which is illegal in this hemisphere.

There was a package of nine or ten pairs of gold socks in my shipment. I assume that they fell out of Timo's pants unnoticed while he was pakaging the shipment.
I was wondering if I bought the scoops and the skirts would they bolt straight on to a 85 GT notchie?? or would I have to buy the A-Pillars off of an 88?? (Iwas told that by someone who was unsure)...

Socks? I didn't package any socks! Not that I know of any way.
edit: I know, it was the customs people........!! Thats why it took so long to clear!! Strange people there.

I just got mine. I think I received the wrong box though. This fascia has the side vents and no diffuser. Also, the place for the GT logo is there and it's not supposed to be.
Nope no diffuser. Mine was exactly as ordered. I had originally ordered the diffuser then canceled it as I am doing something a bit different with the back end in that area and no longer needed one.
I will look again in the box to see if I missed it being in the bottom or something (seriously doubt it, but will check), but nothing was taped to mine, nor were there any residual adhesive marks on the fiberglass.

Just checked in the garage, nothing in the box yet. Sorry.

Any idea on a timeline on the 355 front? I am needing to schedule painting done with my car in advance and need a base approximate idea of when you think that the 355 front would be shipping.
Mr. FieroFan1 could you possibly let me know what other front ends you have avail or when the 360 front end will be avail please
Please no Mr. just F1F is good.
I can't tell you for sure when the f360 nose will be finished. Sorry. At the moment I don't have a nose to sell until I have the problems worked out with the f355 or receive an f360 from Dietmar.
