Fiero Store Uses GM Tools to Reintroduce Tail Lamp Lenses

January 12, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
STAFFORD SPRINGS, Conn.,– The Fiero Store, the world’s largest distributor of OEM and aftermarket Fiero parts and accessories, recently added 1986-1988 Pontiac Fiero GT tail lamp lenses to its extensive catalog of officially licensed GM Restoration Parts. With the help of General Motors, The Fiero Store was able to locate the original tooling that GM used to produce the lenses when they were still in production. “Finding tooling that old in excellent condition is very rare,” said Matthew Hartzog, president of The Fiero Store. “Given the number of parts on the car, it is even more unusual that the tooling we found was for such a popular and identifiable part of the Fiero.”

Since tail lamp lenses are integral for the survival of a car that is no longer in production, excitement over the new lenses grew quickly as soon as it was announced that the original GM tooling had been found. “This is the first time that we have produced an aftermarket part using original GM tooling,” said Hartzog. “As a result, our customers feel that they have a better idea of what to expect with regard to quality and ease of installation.” By the time the tail lamp lenses were delivered to The Fiero Store, 10% of the new parts had already been sold.

The introduction of the tail lamp lenses comes on the heels of several other new parts that have been recently developed by The Fiero Store. Within the past year, The Fiero Store has reproduced heavy duty V6 EGR tubes, V6 alternator brackets, 4cyl exhaust headpipes, third brake light housings, and many other hard to find parts needed to keep Fieros on the road. With original GM parts being discontinued regularly, The Fiero Store continues to do everything it can to keep the Fiero market alive and vibrant.
