Outstanding vehicle! Does anyone know the paint color of this particular LP640? I think it would be crazy nice for a Fiero. It looks like a dark gray, but I would love to find out the exact paint code to find a PPG match or something close to paint my car. Anyone know how to find out the exact paint color and code?
Yea I allready knew about that version of the kit nose.... I think it could be done much better...
Paint code appears to be a dark graphite, I don't have the code. I remember seeing a Formula painted this color not long ago on autotrader.com, a very sharp color. I remember it almost had me wanting to jump outside and paint mine the same color.

Alright, I'm not good at this game, is that a photochop or not? If it's not that's sex on wheels, even if it is it's still sex on wheels. Very nice looking indeed.

I know!! I know!!! I know!!!
I did that last night, it's a photoshop of my formula with a Gallardo nose and a custom side scoop with gallardo ground effect on the side!
Even without the side effects the nose makes the car jump to another level. I'm looking into learning how to make molds
Ok here's the deal... I think this nose is sexy as hell on the Fiero. See below.
Stock Formula:
With LP640 nose (built right):
With side effects (custom scoop and modifying ground effects)
Or see below in larger picture:
This is the look I've been looking for and waiting for. The only problem is that the Gallardo nose that is in production here is out of proportion and the old style nose not the LP640's. So I'm looking into making one, or maybe even more if people are interested. I then want to build the side effects onto the side making a widebody at the back, somewhat like the orange one running around here; slope the scoop back into a larger tail end.
Feedback from people who fabricate these noses would be great. Alex you paticularly. -Emc209i

There is a guy here on this forum, who does kitcar business as well and he fabricates the lambo front nose for the fiero.(RickLord, but I might have his screen name wrong) I don't know but I personally think that is too square for the fiero. (At least the one he makes)
Your pictures actually look very good; in fact if suck quality kit was ever made I will like to have one.

If someone came out with a buper or even a skirt kit like that, I'll be able to sell a few. I have one guy who will go nuts over it. He's coming in on Saturday and I'll show him that picture, I'll have to get a plastic bag for my coputer screen.

I agree...
Don't take this the wrong way at all, but straight forward: The nose he builds is atrocious looking. Why? First of all its one piece, and to be one piece it has to be blocky and less so detailed. Secondly, he still incorperates the parking lights into the vents! All in all the nose is built very differently from what I have in mind.
Let me get some photo's and I'll show you what I mean.

Ok first of all. I am in no way trying to discredit or insult the maker of this nose.. I'm just stating what I don't like about it. ok? ok!
So!
Firstly the bigest thing about the nose is that it looks like a GT nose with the front of it modified. The orientation of the nose slopes up at the front unlike the LG640's. It is very important that the nose stay perellel to the ground. Also, the vents are at a good angle on the replica and don't angle outward with the nose but recess inward at the center of the facia, they also rap around the nose instead of being flat. It may also be that a different color could bring out some of the detail in the replica bumper.
The parking lights shouldn't be in the center of the grills either. But the biggest thing is the sides of the replica bumper... it looks just look a GT bumper at the sides, and I'd like to get away from that. I want it to look just like the photoshop. Just like!
Also the front lip should be made seperatly and should bolt up to the bottem of the bumper to give it really good detail. I'd also like to incorperate the side marker of the Gallardo onto the side.
No not mounted properly! Once again look at your sides, I want to get rid of the Fiero marker and molding all together (I think it dates the car and like the newer marker and no molding) And yes I know it will have to be built diferently and modifying to the fenders will have to be made, but that's just how its going to have to be done; the right way.

The car with just a new bumper doesn't look that much better than the stock nose, it's when you combine the new nose with the vents that it comes together to look really really nice.

I meant that the bumper was sagging on the passenger side. I took the side marker out because i didn't care for it You could easily put it back in. also, the door is one piece

Haha ok I see it now. Yes your right the marker could be left, I just like the newer look of it not being there. It's all personal preference really, one person likes the old nose, another is dying for another. Good input.

I like it but it could use further refinement. The turn signals need to be moved. Flushmounts with integrated signals would be good. I also wonder if there would be cooling issues without an intake.
