I thought I was a patient and understanding person. You Sir, are a direct decendant of Job!

Congratulations! I am extremely excited for you!

Has anyone done this on a car with T-tops? Hopefully will be acquiring a 88 notchie with T-tops and I have an 87 gt fastback so it'd only make sense to combine the best of both worlds! Thank you!

I have not. Not exactly sure if the back clip is the same or not regardless of "T" top or not. You could ask around on the forum and see. I have never messed with one.
you could ask BoostDreamer, I know he knows a few things about them.

Trying to thing of what color to paint it. My middle daughter thinks that black would be cool, I think red would too, and my wife likes yellow.
If anyone has skills to see what each color would look like - can anyone do a quick photoshop?

BTW
Waiting on argon gas to come in.

I like those fins. They look sharp. What are they made of and how did you attach them?

Well, believe it or not, Lowe's sells a flat PVC bar in the molding section of the store. It's quite sturdy and very easy to work at the same time. It's about 5$ for 8ft of 2"x 1/4".

I agree - its does look very sharp. Definitely what I was looking for. It doesn't have that "I'm fake" appearance.

I used a PVC primer and PVC glue, it hardens quickly when you use a heat gun so be carful. Also, you can use a heat gun to manipulate the curvature in the vents.

I didn't' cut from one corner to the other (that would have been easy), instead, I started 1/4" off the very corner edge and then struck a line to the other corner. This fits much better in the vent-well when bending the material.

Thank you for your Question.

Hey fellow Fiero friends, My wife and I have been having a really hard time with all these doctor bills caused by some stupid lady that didn't deserve to be on the road. I have a more detailed explanation of what happened in the site below. It is getting very difficult to do anything on this car in which my wife and I could enjoy as well as my daughter. I have been working on this since 2009 and the doctor bills are killing me. I know what a great community we have and was reaching out to you guys for help, please read the following at the site below: and thank you to All who support us.....:https://de.gofund.me/jzqjt2rg&rcid=719c0d6afa6611e5a4d2bc764e049a64

This mod looks sick, i would leave car bumperpad fastback without side gfx and only add rear spoler and that mod, that would be amazing.
