Been doing some minor mods to the car lately.
Before...


After...

My best advice when it comes to your Fiero is to "NOT" do any dealings with www.kitcarman.com

Nice. Planning on painting the whole car, or blending in the silver somehow?

Eventually the whole car will be painted. I'm just doing some of the minor things first. I also have a Chop Top planned for the future before I paint the car. The reason the rear wing is black now is because I moved it back 2". In the process of doing that I broke one of the wing stands. I bought a good used set that were white so I sanded/stripped them down and primered them. Then decide to sand/strip down the wing and primer it too while I had it off.

The scoops are the Dietmar Scoops from Germany.

The first free mod I'd do is remove the bug guard! Other then that, looks great!

The only reason that is on there is because the front bumper has some pretty big chips in the paint and looks really bad. Believe it or not, the bumper looks better with the bra on it. Once the car is painted the bra will not be on.

I'll call you one day, I am off to the scrapyard tomorrow hopefully to buy 4 grand am calipers. Not to thread hijack but you have the 4 wheel conversion, do I just need the calipers (I will buy brand new drilled and slotted powdercoated rotors) off of the donor cars? I know I need 2 sets of front calipers. What year grand ams?

Yes I have the 4 wheel conversion.Why don't you just buy new calipers? I bought 2 calipers, 2 rotors and 2 sets of brake pads at Advance Auto for just under $100 for all of it. $200 for front and rear together. Mine are for a 89 Grand Am. The backs are direct bolt on but you will lose your e-brake. The fronts are also a direct bolt on but you will need to have the stock Fiero hubs turned down so the new rotors will slide over the hubs.

No. I have a 6 1/2" ride height in the back and 6" in the front. Haven't changed it since Daytona. Maybe I just need taller tires. LOL

Actually the gap may be just a bit bigger. I have done a few burn outs and I'm sure the tread height is smaller now.
