My impressions so far, which is only on communication and the lack of information the vendor was able to provide, is that these are likely not a recommended option.
On the other hand if you purchase through Ebay you will have buyer protection...
It would have been nice if the vendor was more open to talk about what is going on and how they can get more exposure to the Fiero community and instead I'm left confused on the response and lack of effort to show off their product leaving me to believe that they don't have any interest in it themselves. |

My guess... they're probably made in China.
I've also seen this picture before that they're using as an advertisement, and it's someone from the forums. If I remember correctly, they took factory taillights, polished them out, painted them (the black surround) and then clear-coated them.
They do this in China sometimes... they look for things that are commanding high prices, and then reproduce it on the cheap. It's likely not going to have any of the DOT markings (which is fine), but it could actually fit really well. The plastic is less likely to be brittle than an original. I'd have to guess the fit and finish is... acceptable. If you can't find or afford good replacement ones, then this is probably a good option to repair your existing ones, particularly if the lenses you already have are cracked and clearly cannot be repaired.
