This is a sketch of the new GTP type front fascia that I'm currently working on. It'll be a fiberglass replacement for the stock Fiero bumper cover.

Thats a cool idea, I like the fiero like grill/opening. It looks stock but with a slight modern look, works well with the lights.

That's exactly the goal of this design. To incorporate late model GTP lighting & styling cues into the Aero fascia in a way that will compliment the stock Fiero look without having to change anything else on the car. My thinking is if Pontiac designed a new Fiero aero fascia today that this is what it might look like.
This is a variation with top intakes. I haven't decided if I should include them. What do you guys think?

Hi all,
I thinking that the snouts add that more agressive look to it that makes the fascia!! Also, Amida have you seen an extended windsheild installed in a fiero up close and personal like?? I ask cuz I am having a hard time seeing how to keep the spare tire compartment in a fiero sealed.... Have you thought about this at all??------------------
Me, I sell engines, the cars are for free, I need something to crate the engines in....

Looks good Rob. I like the nose snout's too. I was trying to figure a way to incorporate them in my design, but I haven't quite figured out how to make them functional. I've played with adding the Bonny front to mine, but with the weather being nice, I've spent more time in the garage then in the dungeon (computer room in the basement).
keep up the good work...
Bob

Pavo, I will have the windshield in my Formula hopefully in the summer. I'm going to figure out if it will make a feasible conversion kit.
I think the snouts still have a factory look, I could probably just make that an optional thing. To make them functional will definitely require fabricating a passage way through the framework; perhaps a duct that's about 1" tall. Thanks.

Hi all,
This is def. good news!! Please, please, please do a build thread with pics, when you do the windsheild conversion....Did I mention, PLEASE....! I can't remember his name right now here on pff, but there was another member that did add the snout's to an otherwise stock aero fascia.....

You end up with the chassis geometry so changed that you have serious handling issues. The balance of the car is completely changed with increased rear end bias. Good for straight line but a problem for maneuvering. Just my .02

that would be somewhat true if it used a stock drivetrain
i did a few photochops years ago when i was planning to use a longitudinal tranny and engine setup in the mid engine layout - moving the wheels back without doing a stretch would allow it all to fit easily and would actually improve weight distribution over stock.

A longitudinal power train would have a better weight distribution for sure, but if using Porsche/Audi tranny a longer wheelbase would be unavoidable.
