Just a little constructive criticism.
The "Top" of the bumper should have been level with the rest of the body, it didn't flow.
The sides of the bumper were too long, if the ledge was cut down and the sides cut down so the front was flush with the slop of the stock nose it would have looked better, and last its too wide. If you had cut down the two outside vents and narrowed the bumper I think you would have been better pleased.

This was the final look:



It kept more of the Fiero look while still giving it some of the F&F style as well

It is done, however it is ugly lol

I used plywood and wrapped it in some fake cf vinyl sticker crap. It would be a lot nicer if I had a good material to make it from... my plywood one will be taken off until I find a nice black material, and the plywood will be used as a template...

I could take pictures if you want, but you might barf lol

I don't care if it's raw plywood. I can pretend it's carbon fiber.

If you're afraid to post the photos in public, send me a PM.

Think of it on the bright side: you now have a proof of concept, and a template.

Just out of curiosity, how is it attached to the air dam?

The picture isnt bad... in person the vinyl stuff is super cheesy looking though... I would rip it off but underneath its just plywood which would look even worse...

I had it up to about 80mph today and I'm pretty sure I felt a difference... could be all in my head though... regardless, its going to come off in a few days until I get a better material that comes in black or is easily paintable.

First of all, I wish to acknowledge Fie Ro's conept and execution of his beautiful GTR. It is the inspiration for my build of my 84
SE (4.9 Caddy). The pic is Photoshopped off of his GTR. My Photoshop skill are somewhat lacking so please be kind. I'm in the process of building at this point and will have photos available when possible.

The front facia is a Mazda RX7 from raceonUSA $195.00 and it must be Tweaked to fit.
Car-lo is very good at that!

I second that...I bought my Fiero to do a 355 rebody, but now I'm just going to tweak it and keep it a Pontiac concept.

What is Carlo using for the basis of the front bumper? (And what did he use for the back?) - Edit: OK, just read previous post, but what about rear?

85SEnochie, change the HL's, that bumper needs more attitude... Mitsu 3000GT might work depending on the curvature of the hood.



IMO different markers lights too.

85SEnochie, lets give BlackTree a modern look with the Mitsu 3000GT HL again... Since his hood and fenders are one piece is could work... (depending on the curvature of the 3000GT hood)

Those Mitsu headlamps just don't do it for me. I don't like the "angry" look. However, I was toying with the idea of recessing my Hella lamps, like we talked about in the What Headlights Would You Pick? thread. With a fiberglass nose, such a project is much more feasible. Besides, I'm not too fond of pop-up headlamps.

I haven't decided yet if I'll actually do it. But it is a possibility.
