I don't think its that bad. I think it (the car) just needs to be lowered a little bit, throw in a dash of carbon fiber elsewhere near the sides/front to tie things together, and it'd help!

I don't like it. As others said, the curvature doesn't match the Fiero at all. It's too narrow for the Fiero, the double airfoil is too busy for the simple Fiero lines, I personally don't like the look of CF (though it's an awesome material), and worst of all, it isn't functional at all when paired with the Fiero's fastback depression.
If you like it, though, more power to you. That's what matters.
love the fibre...but the curvature doesn't seem to flow...and its too small i think...it should normally stick or at least be even with the fenders. but i love your detail with the CF

Is anyone else jealous of the area that MrBoernie gets to take his pictures? Every time I see one of his photos I am impressed. Is this your yard/driveway?

This is/was one of the cleanest fieros ever. However, I would like to see the factory wing in CF. It is the best wing for the fiero. Use TLG's stealth stands and it would flow very nicely.

I really think it all looks nice. Spoiler & the scoop. Then again I'm the one who sees no problem wearing a plaid pair of pants and a yellow & black striped shirt.

Wing looks fine to me except the screws on the sides. I don't know.......................maybe paint them black? The wing isn't overpowering like some I have seen.

It's your car - I say if you like it, who cares what others say - but you asked so here's my opinion.
I never liked a scoop that was not molded into the hood/deck lid. It's too easy to go to Pep Boys and buy a "stick on" scoop. However, the carbon fiber look of the scoop is nice. As for the wing - not happening for me. First it looks like a cheaply made wing - bolt together and where the bolts are looks unfinished. The dual wing belongs on something other than an American Classic and the curvature nowhere near fits the lines of the Fiero. It simply looks out of place to me. To me, it looks like something you could buy at the local fart can store and stick it on and be street racing old ladies in Lincolns in a mtter of minutes. Sorry but you asked!
The Fiero looks great though!

I like the wing too it suits the fiero in my opinion.
(What annoys me because of the ricers that put super car parts on japanese cars eg carbon fiber and alloy trims on civics that even cars that warrant super car parts are now rice in people eyes for using parts originally designed for real super cars.)
Not saying that we drive super cars but the potential is there. Fiero's warrant the parts more than any fwd hatchback could ever.

Thanks everyone for your opinion. My inspiration for a black wing on a red car was something like this:
Btw, it looks like a Fiero wing
Let us face it, the wing on the Ferrari (and on my Fiero too) wouldn't fit but i think that is simply spacy and heavy. That makes a change!
The wing and the scoop are on a second decklid so i can change it back whenever i want (at that the double wing are not legal on german roads).

Thanks No that's not my yard. Its a small road aside the Autobahn A8 near Munich. The road is only for a farmer to get to his growing area/estate. So there are no other cars or people around so it's perfect to make some good pics.

I absolutely love the wing! It is awesome. It gives your car a more European style and it looks like a Fiero, not like another wanabe car on a Fiero chassis. Where did you get it? I want one for mine.

I don't know the manufacturer of this wing. I get it last year from a local tuning store which was got insolvency. Looks like a individual component for a racing car and not industrially produced.

There is nothing wrong with fwd hatchback hondas, I myself have 2004 Civic si with carbon fiber side skirts. Carbon fiber is not about being a super car its about saving weight. Oh and "ricer" isn't the car , its the person driving the car.

Eh. The JCW carbon fiber parts for the Mini are pretty tasteful for the most part. Beyond expensive though.
I'll probably use some CF on my Fieros. Not sure all where at though. The custom air boxes I build will probably be CF.

A mid engined fiberglass RWD car justifies carbon fiber more than a metal front wheel drive car and i stand by that statement. You don't need to justify to me why you are using it. The publics perception of a ricer has changed like the word hoon A ricer can't be that driver without their rice car http://www.urbandictionary....efine.php?term=Ricer A hoon once mean't a fast driver it now means hooligan or lout evolution of the urban dictionary i guess thatsrice and other websites were dedicated to the cars.
