Gave the Chrysler swap a good test today with a 750 mile round trip down to Northern Illinois and back. 6 1/2 hours there, half hour turn around time, and 6 1/2 hours back. And I'm happy to say she passed with flying colors. The driver, on the other hand, was left exhausted and crippled.......

To retrieve this:



Anybody ever install one of these? Any tips or tricks?

I'm sure others on this forum know what that is. But I'm not one of them. What is that?

It's an open mouth chin spoiler from Fiero Warehouse.

So what kind of mileage did you get with the swap?

When I installed mine:

With the nose off mounted using bolts and wing nuts. (with the lower nose you will ding it, crack it requiring removal down the road and repair)

I averaged 27.3 MPG for this trip, which has been my best to date. My usual is around 24 mpg mixed hwy/city, but I tend to be heavy footed in my city driving.

OL, thanks for the pics. I was wondering if I was going to have to remove the nose to install it. Did you have to fabricate any brackets?

I did not need to fabricate any brackets, just needed to replace the top bracket under the nose. The original one had some corrosion issues. The wing nuts/bolt attachment has been handy as I've has the chin spoiler off for repair at least three times since I installed it.

While the front was off I replaced the driving/turn signal lights.

What lights did you use?

I bought the ones the Fiero Store sold. The issue was they only sold one side, but it just needed some trimming to get it to fit in the other side. I don't remember which one needed modifying, I think it was the driver's side. Used ones in good condition should be available out in Fieroland.
