Bricklin came first... man I have never seen a kit like that. Kinda weird why would you want a 1985 to look like the Bricklin from the 70s?

I for one love bricklins. But this looks nothing like one. The front...ok a little bit.

i would like to make a set of gullwing doors for a fiero if i ever get another hardtop. i like the look of the gullwing door and think it's just cool. i'd leave the Fiero body mostly stock though.

That's the kind of car that gives Kit Cars a bad name. Nice prop rod to hold the door up. I wonder how hard it is to raise up and down?

It's guilty of not looking like all the rest? I like it.

Well I, for one, think the gull wing doors are innovative. Who else has installed gull wing doors on a Fiero?

But go ahead, keep trashing away.

I'd drive it. Everyday. For the same reason weaselbeak likes it. It's different, either love it or hate, there is no in between. Thumbsup or the bird, take your pick.... I love it.

4,500 RPM in 5th gear is bad?

Just my .02 cents, but,

Turning a Fiero into a Bricklin clone is like painting it ugly.

From the looks of it, they used real Bricklin body panels. Looks ok, except for the rear end.

The Bricklin had electric doors that opened and closed with the push of a button... this ones doesn't appear to have this function.

I really like the Gull-wing doors idea, I had wanted to that to my Fiero before I decided I wouldn't have felt it was safe.

Just my taste, but I always thought Bricklin was uglier than an AMC Pacer, but thats me. I wouldnt want a mint original one, much less make a replica (that dont look like it anyway)

The gull wing doors were the only thing I like about the Bricklin and the Delorean.
The 1977 Aero Vette concept car had the coolest articulated gullwing doors of all time though.

Misprint im sure.

And it looks too much like a kit to me to be appealing.

A buddy of mine has a 1978 Pantera GTS with the Wing installed. That car looks way cooler than any fiero I have ever seen.

Heck that car is cooler looking than even a 2010 camaro or Z06 Vette.
