How possable is taking an aero nose to this finish. Price tags would be helpfull.

I could make you a nose like that for around $3500. Would require modifying a stock nose to that shape, pulling a mold off of it, & making a part out of the mold. Take probably 100 hours or more. Price does not include the lights or light covers.
This is just to let you know how much time & money goes into making molds for custom parts.

Some people are like a Slinky, not good for anything, but they bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

Thanks for the info. If I took the job on myself how much would the price drop?

about $3000 fiberglassing gets the same pay rate as rocket scientist.

I see about 500 then yes I can subtract lol.

It is an aero nose so shape would not need to be changed but filling in holes would be lots of fun NOT!

I don`t think that filling in the holes would be too bad.
Just cut the material you need out of a junk nose and start shaping.
I am redoing an Aero nose on my car because I want to stick with plastic instead of
using fiberglass and this stuff I`m using, Evercoat Fibertech really sticks. It helps to
drill a few holes to help it hold better on a flat surface but I am really pleased with the
way it seems to hold up. I guess when I get my car painted and see how it lasts with steady
vibration and speed bumps and I will report later how it has held up.

Thanks Isaw your currently looks really good. Let me know how it holds up.
I'm thinking about starting from scrat with so big blocks of foam. I talked with black4.9 (dad)
and he sayed it would be under 500 prob. a lot of time though lucky I have more of that then money lol

Notice my figure does not add up to what you would normaly pay for 'glass work. To make the mold then a part, you're looking at $500 in materials. Normally you would pay ~$45 an hour (minimum) for fiberglass work. Regular bodywork is ~$35 an hour (or was; I hope it's gone up since I last worked for someone else).
To do the job yourself using the original nose, you'll need to find other peices in the shape(s) you want made of the same or similar materials (RIM), & use a bonding agent made for RIM to glue it all together. Overall hard to work with & expensive. When you're through, you'll have a peice that most likely will not hold up to every day driving. That's after spending AT LEAST 50 hours & probably 100.
Check for my posts regarding repair of bumpers for more directions. Good luck & have fun.

Of all the things I've lost over the years, I miss my mind the most!

it would be way easier if you found a similar nose, cut and trimmed the nose you got and the new nose, bonded them together, smothed it all out, and used that part as a mold

I wonder if this would fit.....
Extreme Dimensions Type Vader Body Kits
1990-1997 Mazda Miata

looks so rice to me

Great ideas and have some more Sources to look up thanks

Body work is about $55 an hour here now. Very reputable high end shops are charging $70 an hour, and to have fiberglass work done (which sucks ass), will cost even more. Now i dont think it will take 100 hours to do, but having something like this made one off will cost you more than your car is worth most likely. Best bet is to find a design lots of Fiero owners like, have it made and make them to sell. At least recoup your investment, and maybe make a few bucks.

That almost looks like Norm's fiberglass nose already. Start with that and add the cutouts and louvres.

Lets star a pole then those in faver say I.

To rice like or any other ideas I would like to see

Onley other thing I could find right now, is this MR2 nose (Im not sure how close,that car is to the Fiero dimensions).

Old RX7s have front bumpers similar in shape and size to the fiero. To make that nose right you would need a real 911 Turbo/911C4S/911SE front bumper which would be several hundred alone.

Here is the mr2 nose if it fit?

How about this Gallardo bumper for the Fiero?

Your red bumper idea looks nice but I would not trade it for your signature bumper which looks awesome. Goes good with your headlight. Maybe change the headlight to round.



Fieroware house lip on PFF bonzo.




Here is an idea ala M1 that someone photo chop a while back.

The nose on my sig. is bonzo's how funny. kingdomcustom bumper not a bad thought but not quite there.

How about some RX7 ricers I know most of you hate ricers but the idea is more to give the fiero a current look.







I really like the photo chopping of what others have done if anybody else would like to share

Heres one,I posted about a year ago.

Had to see how the nochie looked with it another great idea

Flush mounted projectors look a lot cleaner

How about an '80s 300zx nose? I like it..

Now this is last one is nice ... may keep this one for future reference, has class

it is not ricey to me this is clearly a new porsche suv bumper get one used an pull a quicky mold no gelcoat an then pull one of the fiero an make parts from both an graft them together ,let the owner get the parts then charge to make an mate the two pieces together this way the overall investment is on the designer not the builder an if you are not will to get the orginal 2 bumpers then cancel this project , I DO LIKE IT MYSELF

What about using clay or Styrofoam to make the shape of the mold I've herd that’s not as expensive.

I still like Fie Ro's nose:


Here is the thread showing how he did it:

i thought this look good, its a drift body kit bumper for a cavalier

[This message has been edited by 3.6lvvt6spdgt (edited 11-13-2007).]

Nice now were talking would anybody else be interested in something like that?

i would love to have a cool looking body kit that realy looked nice, im tired of kit car bodys i love the fiero and i want it to look mean. and stock is not mean enuff. if it looked good id buy one for 500$ for just the front bumper.

The problem is that no matter how you styled a nose, there will only be so many that like & want it. Even at $500 each you'd have to sell a LOT of them to cover the cost of R&D & moldmaking.

I know what the center vent is for but what are you doing with all that air from the two at the side?
Unless its ducted somewhere its all going to just build up under the front end.

It looks good
