Cool!

The listing has now expired, but I've sent him a note asking if he'll do another batch, but in the 'round' style that some of the others are in.

Told him I might take a batch (to redistribute amongst us) if the price is right.  Will save a stack on shipping too.

Ok!  Finally got an answer back....

"Yes, I could do 10 of these (in the round style) with the Fiero letters on them for $80 plus $5 s&h. I have been really busy of late, so it would probably be a couple weeks before I could get to them. I also want to re-create the Fiero Pegasus at some point, but haven't found a good large picture to re-create yet."

Sounds like a good deal to me.

And since he used the word "pegasus" instead of "horsey thing", maybe he even knows something about the Fiero. 

So, can I count on 10 of us here?  I can collect the funds at the next meeting, but I'll just pay for it all upfront myself.

Oh yeah, http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290140178404&sspagename=ADME:L:RTQ:CA:1 - HERE is a link to what the round style looks like (it's a Monte, but the knob style would be the same).

That's a whopping $8usd each, plus the shipping and whatever taxes etc I get hit with, divided amongst us all. 

So, say ~$10-11cdn per unit.

Ok - chatted with the guy more.

He asked on color (red or black), so I said just give me 5 of each.
Would there be more of a want for one vs, the other?

I know I want a pair of each for myself (maybe I'll keep 2 black 1 red)

Oh yeah, so the score is now:
Me: 3
Dave: 2
Brian: 2 (was 1)
Fobby: 2
Blair: 1

Just post back if I'm in error or to add yourself to save this from being 1000 posts!

And if there's going to be much more interest (we're at 10 now!) I better up the order - QUICKLY!!

With that in mind John, I'll take a red & Black one also...does this mean the main unit is silver, the lettering is the colour right?.

Yup - the unit itself is milled out of aluminum - he engraves into them, fills the lettering in, then buffs the tops (from what I can see, and he's described!).

Know what?  I'm just going to go ahead and up the order to 15 right off.  I'll do 10 red, 5 black.  Be far less hassle in the long run than having to do it all over again.

Red wsould be best. Matches the intake.

Ok - it's done (and here's me HOPING nobody changed there minds!!!), bought and paid for.

I'm getting 10 of the red, and 5 black.

We've changed the design a bit too - I had him do some extra layout on it, so the nut will now somewhat resemble the upper intake! 

He's going to send some prototype pics over when he gets the cad layout done.

Ok - what do you think of this?  It's a prototype he made (just for us!).  He can do the coloring all one, or both as shown.




I think it's OK. And it saves (potentially) the "do I go black or red" part too.

Opinions? Ideas?

I like this...it matches my my engine:)...can he add GT to the Fiero since most of us ordering have GT's?...just a thought guys, if not I like it the way it is.

Heh - yeah, it matching the engines was my idea!  

I wanted him to do it the other way around (with the bars being aluminum and the rest being lower and red) but he said it wasn't practical to do it (would have had to make a whole new jig just for this batch).
