I want to be able to tell the guys which kit would sell more when/if they decide to do a kit for the Fiero.

If possible and to make it easy to count, let's just write BORDER or TOMS in this thread and leave discussion in the other thread.

My vote is for TOMS.

Border


Tom's

Crap, I'm out of Fieros! Time to buy another!! - "Your mileage may vary."

Yeah, I just took those off the eBay ad. But I agree.

Why not just buy an MR2?

Why not just buy a Corvette? Or a Cadillac? Or a Grand Prix? Sure would be easier than putting the engine in a Fiero.

I am assuming it will be modified to a Fiero and bring some of the look with it. No different than putting a 355 front on.

I'd personally like to mess around with the first one.

TOMS

TOMS

not to be the odd-ball but i do like Border's better, but i would really like it the signal lights were either more discrete, in a different location or both. And as of now i am looking for a front bumper, and one of these could be a possible option depending on price.

Brandyn

I'm going to have to go with "Toms". Just catches my eye better.

TOMS - 8
BORDERS - 3

Still haven't talked to the guys yet so keep on voting!

TOMS

I dont think either will look good adapted to fit a fiero.

But my vote would be for the Border kit.

TOMS

I don't think they are talking about adapting one of these kits to fit a Fiero. I think they are talking about which direction to take when prototyping for a Fiero. There are two distinctly different looks.

TOMS - 10
BORDER - 4

Both?

TOMS

Pretty impressive.....

Hey allen did you get my PM regarding the C500 replacement and what you were using on your 3800SC swap?

TOMS!!!!! oh yea TOMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't like the whole gaping mouth look of the first one, so I would choose Tom's kit. Why are the headlights partially up though? Is that how it is supposed to be (I don't like that at all)?

Toms

I'd hafta say Tom's. Just not with the sleepy tuner headlights. The border has too much of a tuner look. My $.02.

Tom's makes it look like an MR2. Border's makes it look like a Nopi tuner car. I like the custom look, so I go with Borders.

------------------

I know they are just a starting point, but personally i don't find either kit to be too appealling, however i strongly support the effort to come up with something new for our cars.

The fiero already has great lines, so if u are going to tweek it, it better at least make the car more exotic or aggressive. i don't think either one does the job.

If they are going to do it, don't do the average tuner, or ricer look, do something unique that compliments the car.

Thumbs down to both.

Let them chew on something like these,....(sorry i am not, nor do i know the artists who crafted these gems, otherwise i would give them credit)





or better yet have them look thru these.

I vote BORDER.....TOMS would make the Fiero look too MR2-ish.....I think there is more "tweaking" capabilities with the BORDER design.

After looking at them for awhile I think I like the Border.

I think I liked the Toms better at first because the picture is taken at a better angle.

Toms looks best..i think a sweet paint job would really set it off..

TOMS, except i prefer that my headlights go AAAAAAALL the way down. What's with that anyway?

TOMS - 17
BORDER - 8

Something completely new - All of us!
I don't know what the capabilities are of these guys but I will show them everything whenever we get together.
Whatever they come up with, it will be nice to have another option.

My vote is for Border. I like the design and the authoritative look of the front end. Both of these designs make the Fiero look more modern. If you like the classic look then you probably won't like them but if you want to modernize they give a new look to the 80's design. In either case its liklely that you won't see anything like this anytime soon. Perhaps just the nose can be made.

As the ORIGINATOR of this possible opportunity, I am now placing TWO VOTES:


TOMS

TOMS


To me, the "Border" style looks too much like a cheesy "add on" body kit which I would prefer to avoid like the plague. I'm not after the "I juiced up my car" look- I want a more integrated "factory" look to it. I see WAY TOO MANY front bumpers like the "border style" on crappy Eclipses and Civics and don't want my Fiero looking like those cars in any way if I can avoid it. But that's just my preference, and if you like the other, cool.

And the whole "why not just buy an MR2" thing is silly. First, this is just a "style," not a replica of an MR2 question. And sorry, but the MR2 had a better looking front end than the aero body Fiero in many people's opinions, and if my car resembles an MR2, it won't bother me because it'll look better in the long run. If you don't like it, don't buy it, and please don't chime in with disparaging comments about something others are excited about. Each to their own in the end.

But that's just my vote! ( :

P.S. HUGE PROPS to Songman for following through and contacting these guys. MAYBE we'll see a result and have something cool in the end regardless!

As I have no measureable amount of "class"

I say BORDER.

Why make a body kit at all if it isn't going to make a big difference in the
look of the car??
