The body mods are slowly taking form on my V8 Fiero coupe. Now that I have cool looking front and rear spoilers. I'm thinking maybe I should have better rocker panels (ground effects). Any ideas? Don't suppose the IRM style are available from another source besides FOCOA?

RadRuss has some cool rockers off of a Civic. Not sure the particulars. You'd have to ask him.

archie had a few irm sets at one time. might check to see what he has left. also denny patton makes a similar set that dosen't stick out quite as far. might match up better to stock type facias.

Here is the Denny Patton rockers/scoops, which are perfect, but he's no longer selling them. Any other ideas?

I could rob the aero rockers off my 87 SE. I'm assuming they are an easy swap? Any other possible suggestions. Guess I could try calling FOCOA again, but I think that's a lost cause.

I see pics of Fieros with fancy ground effects all the time. People must be buying them from somewhere? Helps!

kinda reaching, but there were two other places in fla. one made a copy of the denny patton ones and the other made a copy of the irm ones. but one was either outlaw performance or one of their aliases (if it's the last place making rockers scoops on earth don't go there) and the other didn't get many good comments either. can't remember their name.

also remember pisa makes some as part of their zr2 body kit that i think you can get separately.

PISA has been sold and is being reorganized. I sent an email to Denny Patton to see who is the new vendor or if he had any extras rockers, but no response back yet. I might check with showcars to see what rockers are listed at their site, but they had no pics or prices.

I recall reading/hearing that Twin Lakes Fiero bought all of Denny Patton's molds. And that they may have some parts available now, but that they do not have any info on the web as of yet.

MinnGreenGT, you da man. I just spoke with Bob at Twin Lakes Fiero and indeed he has bought all the fiberglass forms from Denny Patton. Bob has not made a production run on anything yet, but told me that there has been a fair amount of interest in some of the stuff, especially the rocker/scoops that I like. He has a few advance orders and told me he would try and get started on making a production run very soon if I was interested. Sounds good to me! I think I'll go for it!

At one time I might of considered making my own when I had more time than money. But, I have no artistic ability and I now have more money than time, so I'm going to wimp out and buy pre-made ones.
