Checking to see if anybody would be interested in a taillight panel like I'm building for my car. Here are picks of the buck.


It has the same shape on the ends as the factory lights and I added a slight curve to the middle so it does not go flat were the pontiac lights are like the original. I also added some width so its much closer to the belt molding. I have also designed it to attach to the back half of your original tails so it will mount to the car like stock after you put the two together. I'm making the mold with no light cut outs so each panel would be blank so you can put any size shape light you would want.

Heck If it was clear and stock looking my OCD of the uneven lettering could go away (3 on left 4 on right)

I think you might have something there....any idea as to the price?

bump
to keep this going

Very interested! I've been keeping an eye out for a cheap oem uncracked set for a winter project but I may wait and see how your product unfolds!

I would like to have one a notchie, any chance that you would be making one for them?

also interested in price....

I will chime in here...

Justin is a great guy. He is local, and has helped in many a build here in the Inland Northwest. You can see some of his fiberglass work in Dogcreek's steering wheel cover... https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum3/HTML/000115.html

The link to his personal Fiero build. Custom flipper front end coming, and an Archie rear hatch. The rear facia is a home brewed design. His own creation. ... https://www.fiero.nl/forum/F...1/HTML/079502-2.html

Edit: You are very welcome Justin.

I could, it would be awhile and depend on if there were some real intrest. If there are several people wanting it I will do it. Is there any panels out there for notchies?

Put me on th list!

Sounds like a good deal. I could use 2 sets.
Thanks!

I agree-nice work! I would be very interested in a notchie panel. You can count on me for being one of the first if you can get adequate interest to produce them.
Please let me know if and when- payment will be on it's way!

Any updates ?

First layer of glass is on the mold. Will get the mold finished and hopefully lay up the first part this weekend.

interesting...there's a need for alternative notchie tail panels to replace the stock ones...

Am I missing something here? So, what would you use for tail lights??

Anything you want I'm going to use 4.5" inch round LED's

[This message has been edited by JPH87 (edited 10-12-2010).]

carnut122....I'm going to install LED's ...but I'm not going to reveal the pattern yet you'll have to wait till my build thread.... I'm just waiting for them now...and drooling all over the place in the meantime

I own a notchie, and would be interested if they stay around that price

OK- you have my attention. I'd love to see what you guys come up with! That sure fits better than that sorry pair of Ferarri panels I bought!

They key difference which makes this panel ten times better than any other on the market is that it fits the stock taillight housings. All of the others on the market are a fiberglass shell that really need to be installed correctly or they crack/fall off. The 2 piece taillight design was from PISA and from what I hear, they are really bad quality. The Ken Hines and Al Lindsey style are the fiberglass shell type.

I think this style will sell like hotcakes and will be more reliable over time just because of the fact that they utilize the rear housings. Keep up the good work.

Yeah I'm waiting on one of these babies to hit the market, got my $$$ ready . Finally no misaligned tail lights hehe.

That is why I had to build this I bought a panel and it fit like sh$t. I worked in fiberglass years ago it is not my favorite thing to do wife keeps complaining about the smell, but sometime what you need is not out there so you build your own. With all the intrest in this I have made a 3 piece mold so it will pull and have the factory style bevil and curve on the ends I'm in between coats of glass right now but I should be able to pull the mold off the buck tomorrow and start preping it for parts I will post pics and when I mate it to the stock housings I will take detailed pics and explain the how and why and then if you are still interested I will start selling, with black widow being first he seems the most excited. Well almost time for another coat I need a life its firday night oh well back out to the shop I go

yepppp ready and waiting.... ordered my 5w LEDs from China and been doing sketches on the pattern..... if any of you have ideas please post them
Thx ... another Widow upgrade COMING SOON !!!

i'd be interested in one for a notchie.

Here are pics of progress not quite as far along as I had hoped but should be able to lay up the first part after work tomorrow.
Heres the mold it's a 3 piece that's what took a little longer but will be worth it



Here is a sample of how I'm doing my taillights

Looks good. Might look cool with something that emulates 1st gen Firebird tailights along with the glowing PONTIAC in the middle. You've got me thinking about one. BTW - I really love that bumper skin! What tips are you using?

The rear bumper skin is his own creation. Those are C6 Corvette tips... http://www.tlg-auto.com/Fie...C6-Exhaust-Tips.html (A shameless plug for TLG. )

Hey Tony can I test fit this to your car just to be sure? I want to put it on someone's besides mine before I ship 1 to Canada
