That was Clayton's call.
I know that you know this but a clarification is needed so that people don't start sending hate mail.
They're actually wheel adapters. From 5 on 100 to 5 on 100. They bolt to the hub then the wheel bolts to the adapter.
A true spacer would mean that somehow there's long studs running thru the adapter & the wheel.

Paint=SWEET!!!
I was impressed with the guy who did the adapters for me. I custom ordered them last Thursday in the evening. Archie got them Monday!
Wheel Adapters. I highly recommend them, they can build just about anything you want in just a few hours ready to ship. I would have rather have had my wheels, but we made the best of the situation.

Sorry, I'll have more pics tomorrow morning.
We put the 350Z rear window into the hatch today & it needs to sit for a few hours before we can take the weights off of it.
If it doesn't rain, we'll get it outside for some pics tomorrow as early as I can.

Yes, the hatch is available as a kit.
The price is $675.00 & includes the upper hinge bracket. (you'll have top modify the Fiero decklid hinge to work with it)
It is steel reinforced in several places. The kit doesn't include the 350Z rear window because you can get them locally cheaper than we can ship you one.
Note that the hatch doesn't include the rear spoiler that we installed on this car. You can see pics of the hatch without the spoiler on this same car back on page #3.

Hope both you and Dean have a great time at the Dells and a safe trip home.

I am glad you both made it home OK.
I like that picture of your car next to my old car, with Jessie's doors in the background.
Jess could not stop talking about that drive, you blew him away.
I got a picture of him sitting in your car after the drive, and I swear, his smile goes from ear to ear.
Your car is simply the coolest.

Nice job on the completion. I have a question about the digital dash. Where did it come from? That's exactly what I want to do with my Fiero and the digital dash, it looks great.
Enjoy!!

A couple of minor tweaks involving some more carbon fiber and the mirrors. I'm still trying to decide on paint. I was dead set on black, but after driving it a few days in hot sunny weather.

I may go with a lighter color.

No wheel spacers, I had temporary billet hub adapters made.
