BTW I ordered the new tail lights today... Don't tell Lisa ......



Ok so I did change the sail panel a little but I think I got it all that you were asking for?

Thanks looks good, but I will wait to see what the boss (lisa) has to say.

I agree with all that. The side vents in particular stood out too much when black (as pictured). Makes them look "stuck on". It would probably look fine though if just the "hole" in the vents was black (if the holes aren't actually cut out).

Terry, could you do a version as Troyboy mentioned, but do the side panel I've pictured all black (as opposed to part of it as you've done). I'd like to see what it looks like as sort of an "extension" of the side window.






Thanks for clarifying that, Here you go I like it too!

She's looking pretty good!

This may be nit-picking, but I prefer the sail panel glass the same shape as you originally did it. IMO the rounded rear corner doesn't match anything else on the car. I much preferred it "pointy" (although if this actually becomes a glass window, that in itself may contribute somewhat to whatever shape the end needs to be fashioned).

Nice photoshop skills man. I gotta say that the black faux sail window whether or not they decide to make it real does nothing for the car. It actually makes it look like a firebird or something. The rear end of that car as it was made from the factory, while it probably does not do much for the blind spot area, is part of what makes it interesting and also what ties it in with the Fiero history even more. With the large black window there it almost makes me think people will be looking to see who is in the back seat LOL..... The whole large decklid and wing ties in with the flying buttress 80's exotic look rear end somehow for me it takes away some of that with the black window.

Also can you make the wheel inserts or spokes white like the picture is of them Troyboy posted or am I remembering it incorrectly..... Peace

To my knowledge, no one has ever tried to look through the factory sail panels of my '86 GT to see who's in the back seat.

Anyway, it's great to be able to see (through Terry's skills) what this car might look like one day. It's fun to dream up stuff.

Pete Matos DEC 18, 06:49 PM
Yeah well just because you did not SEE them looking for that backseat does not mean it did not happen....kinda like the tree falling in the wilderness ya know....LOL

I just dunno man, everytime I look at that picture with the big black window in it, fake or real it screams firechicken. Without it you get a rare car that nobody knows what it is and it retains that exotic look somehow. It really is an unusual looking car especially from the back. You had something going with those quartering away shots from the rear with the black bumper and different taillights. I think that second one with a large black panel would really wake it up. I am also curious as to what these folks intend to do with that interior, I hope it does not look ANYTHING like a fiero inside it when it is done. I love the fiero interior but the car here needs something to set it apart. Peace

Sorry, but I don't see the connecton.



Hey, we've all got different tastes in cars and design. The Enterra will be great no matter what.
