Okay, we've all seen the decals as in the pic (this is Calkid's car).  I always thought it was a cool idea and planned to try it out on mine (yes, I have a Fiero somewhere).

Now we've also seen the cars (VW, etc) that have a small turn signal light in the same location.  Yesterday I saw a new BMW roadster that had an indented BMW roundel badge there.  It was raised off the surface a bit and around the perimeter was lighted.

I was sitting in my favourite thinking spot and figured that this would not be too hard to do.  I would need to cut a hole in the fender, make a raised crest from abs and have a Fiero pegasus crest made to fit.  Then use casting resin to seal it all.

Am I out to lunch or does this sound cool?  As I have already figured out how to make it, it's just a matter of how loony I really am to even consider it.   Afro

Gary, out of the blue Chris asked me if your wife had given you your pants back, I have no idea where that utterance came from but I thought it was cute.  Kevin

Excuse the time lapse between posting the pic and the words.

The only way I can post a pic is to put a single character in the field and then post the pic.  Then I have to go back and edit the words in.   Sad

I'm going to have to start sending him Barbies.  Rotten kids nowadays.  The kids on the bus all tell me to stop whistling Christmas songs.

  That morning ride to school must be like a wake up cup of coffee for those kids it sounds like slings and arrows are flung both ways. "He looks like Santa but he says mean things to us"
  Reading the text now I like the idea you have. Would you put an led behind it or would you put some neon?

I think it's a neat idea... although I think a lot of the things you come up with for the fiero's is neat Smiley

If you're happy with it and no one gets hurt, whether or not you're loony is immaterial (not to mention a completely different discussion).  Wink

Sounds neat, but if I were to do something similar I'd either replace the mini-moulding strip with the emblem, or merge the two.  Decorative stuff up between the moulding & the top edge of the fender (as in the CaliKid photo) is too high for my tastes.

I saw a guy @ the 20th anniversary in Michigan who had a crest inset to the side of the fender , about 1/2 the size of what cali kid has. The crest was made of plexi and lit up with electro luminescent sheet.  Looked really cool on a black GT.. it lit up red.

I think it's more work than it's worth.
