Of course I know some parts would be hard to reproduce, but how much would something of this scale cost?
I think door sills would be an awesome addition to our cars. A nice option would be if we could get back lit ones like these from other cars.

Makes me wish I would have asked you to etch 5.7 like that on mine for the LS1

It will be finished in about one week. It has already been started.

This took some time, so it will boost the price between $15 and $20. I'll make that known now. However, we have dropped the base price by about that amount from our price last year, so it's still a great deal.

This piece is not bent yet because I wanted some photos of it layed out. These will be offered in plastic as well in a variety of color combinations.

Pictures without a flash:





Thats Bad ***! Exactly what I wanted! So when can I order that and the matching rear "pontiac" fill-ins?

I am hoping tomorrow.

I talked to the GM rep on friday afternoon about 3:30, and at that time he was waiting for his counterparts to finish signing the contract, and mail it to me.
I did not get to call him back, so I do not know what happened, but I will be calling again tomorrow. If they mailed it out, it will be here tomorrow. If not, then I will find out when.
They are extremely slow about things, I just do not have any explanation why.

This is very fustrating for us, and I know for you also. Just keep in mind, this is not a maybe type of thing, we are getting this license. And we will continue to bring you guys more, and more items. We will be adding vehicles to our lineup as well.
I am actually on the hunt for a local LT1 camaro, if anyone knows of one near Lexington.
I have a lot of prototype parts made, and need to test fit.

I would prefer that pattern over the honeycomb as it resembles the stock plastic insert. Maybe petty, but it also looks like it would flow air better than the honeycomb one.




Allright, I NEED this insert!....where, how much, and when can I get it?!....(provided it looks just like this, STOCK).....

Since you didn't reply to my pm... cuz you probably got 50,000 pms lol
Since you have the acrylic now, do you have colored clear pieces? And like smoked ones? Cuz I was thinking you could sell some fog light covers for TAs by simply cutting a piece out and attatching double sided tape on the other side. I know someone made these before, but I dont know where they went. It would also be cool for people that want to tint them any color they want...

We can make these, we just need to come up with a good way to attach these. I do not want to automatically assume tape will work. Tape may work fine, but we still need to investigate to figure out the best way.
If there is one thing I need in life, it's more time.

Tell ya what, I'll volunteer to test out the tape method, just send me a set and I'll put them on and see how long they stay on. LOL I hear ya on the time thing... never seems like there is enough of it...

The Pontiac fills are on the previous page. Making the other emblem wouldn't be a problem either.

I don't have any pictures installed.

These are extremely comparable to the same thickness as my stainless inserts. They are at most, a few thousandths of an inch thicker, which isn't a big deal, and they don't stick out very far at all. It is a nice, professional touch to any Firebird.
