I've been playing email-tag with the guys over @ FX Designs about possible making aftermarket fenders and/or a Ram Air style hood for our cars. They're willing to do a group buy, but it would only work with 10 buyers for each product. ( 10 people buying the fenders, and/or 10 people buying the hood ) I doubt like hell we can get 10 people together to buy the hood, because even though it's relatively cheap, it's a pin-on style hood,  , and it's uh, rather ugly IMO. The fenders are definately a possability though, because they're not bad looking. Kind of different without looking too ricey.
Oh yeah, 1 more catch: They'll need a car for fitment, and they're located in Alberta, so with any luck @ all, we have a member here that's not too far away from there, who's interested in either or both products...Keep your fingers crossed gang, I'm waiting on one more email from them giving pricing details before I post any pics. I don't wanna get anyone's hopes up.

Like I said, until I get that last email that includes pricing details, I'm holding the pics. I just don't want to get people's hopes up, y'know? Trust me on this one, the fenders are kinda nice. Not as nice as Gregg's mind you, but these might be more affordable than most any other fender you'll find, other than having a body shop mold in a set of inserts on your stock fenders. I'm not holding my breath on the hood thing, I think the design is ugly, and it wouldn't break my heart if NOone was interested. LMAO

sry to break it to ya brotha, but the two designs they're offering are al they're willing to do @ this point.  A 442 hood would be sweet, I admit. I'd love to see a hood like Richie's become available to the public one day. I mean, not just as a custom 1 of 1 deal, but buy the hood off the shelf kinda thing.

Ok gang. Seing as how it's 1/4 after 10PM my time, it looks as though I won't be seeing any more emails from Rob tonight with regards to pricing. I hate to have started this thread and leaving you open-ended without even having a picture or anything, so with that said, i'll post you our previous conversations, followed by some pics.

To Whom it may concern;
I'm among many Oldmobile Alero owners who are interested in custom aftermarket hoods and fenders. I've seen your fenders available for the older Grand Am, and I'm wondering if you've done a mock-up for this style on a newer ( 99-04) Grand Am, because the fitment would be very close to that of an Alero. If Alero hoods and fenders are something you could manufacture, please feel free to email me. Keep up the good work guys.

Hello;
We had discussions with a few people on the web as to making fenders for the 92-98 and 99-04 but nothing has come back yet. We require a bulk buy of 10 sets of fenders or hoods with deposits and then we will custom make the parts. We would also require a car to fit them on for a few days. If you are interested in organizing a bulk buy on these items I am sure we can do something.
Thank you for your interest in FX

Could you possibly send me pictures of what's possible in terms of designs? ( Both hoods AND fenders. ) I think a group buy would be easier accomplished if people could see examples of your designs. Also: If a group buy was something that could happen, would all the buyers be required to be purchasing one particular item? What I mean is, would you need atleast 10 buyers PER DESIGN. Thanks for your time, hopefully we can get you some business, and the Alero owners the aftermarket support they deserve.
Again, thanks for your time,

Hello;
The fenders would be our VSX style like on the MX3 and the hood would be the Ram Air Style Pin ON. We would require 10 orders of each item.

The hood: ( NASTY looking IMO, but still... it's an option that wasn't there before.
