Title: Gary...this is what I'm thinking Post by: MacPhail on December 27, 2006, 04:48:36 pm Here is a pic of the tilt front clip with the double racing stripe in silver (or that is what it looks like to me). Instead of black, I'd paint it blue.
Any suggestions on a spoiler?? Cheers, Derek Title: Re: Gary...this is what I'm thinking Post by: can machine on December 27, 2006, 05:59:09 pm What kit is that? Looks nice. Do they have a website?

Title: Re: Gary...this is what I'm thinking Post by: FieroBUZZ on December 28, 2006, 10:39:38 pm I like some of the design features, but overall it doesn't really look 'Fiero' to me. Not a bad thing, I just think it makes a bold statement that has to be carried thru.
The side scoops will help. It needs an aggressive wing to set off the rear. Or at least something different like Dan's. I'd lean towards a ricer....errr...racer...aluminum wing or even a 'subtle' form of a double layer wing. It's not something I'd do ::) but it would look radical, and you have the oomph to back it up. edit: p.s. Hate the cheezy signal lights. They should be small and round to compliment the headlights. Title: Re: Gary...this is what I'm thinking Post by: FieroBUZZ on December 28, 2006, 11:25:48 pm Instead of the double stripe, I lean towardsa wider stripe like this. Starting on the front lip and ending on the rear deck.
Really dark blue would be nice and a silver stripe with either metal flake or pearl accent to draw the eye. Title: Re: Gary...this is what I'm thinking Post by: MacPhail on December 29, 2006, 06:38:04 pm I'm not keen on the signal lights either. And to make it legal, I'd have the front licence place built-in behind clear plexi (accessed from behind to keep the front smooth).
What I like is: a) No more pop-up lights b) Excellent air flow from the rads c) A certain coolness factor But you're right: It isn't very Fiero-like. Norm sent me a pick of a grey one and I thought it was an 80's Mustang at first. Yikes!

They do tend to look the other way most times at clear. Even the dealer plate holders are illegal as they all cover a portion of the plate.
The beauty of fiberglass is that it is very easy to modify something like the light buckets or the air ducts to the brake area. A small round signal with or without a similar size fog light would be nice. That, or a small strip light under the headlight area. It looks okay, but it makes the rear end look out of place as it has not been modified. Title: Re: Gary...this is what I'm thinking Post by: FieroBUZZ on December 30, 2006, 09:54:49 am Something like this. Looks odd on a stock Fiero but is aggressive enough to offset the wild front end.

It is a cabover and has a chopped roof (it's low) and the whole sheebang is shiny stainless steel. That wing would be awesome on the roof. O0

Cheers, Derek Title: Re: Gary...this is what I'm thinking Post by: FieroBUZZ on January 01, 2007, 08:57:41 pm You can't see both the front and rear ends at the same time. >:D
