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

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   Roll Eyes  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.

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.

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!

Well, technically that won't be legal either as the plate may not be covered.  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.

Something like this.  Looks odd on a stock Fiero but is aggressive enough to offset the wild front end.
