I like the photo shopped pic.. You have the chin spoiler on there now? Is it the closed mouth or open where it shows two openings? Do you drag sometimes being so low. My drop is about the same and I'm just worried about getting it caught on something and breaking. I was looking at The non notched extended GT front bumper from Fiero warehouse for mine... The rear looks like a defuser rear bumper... Very cool.
Cool rims. The detail is subtle and clean. They add a nice look to the ride. Nice tire too... I'm running Falkens 452's. These too are hard to let loose.

Thanks for the comments guys, I can't wait to get them on there either. However, that probably won't be until the spring. I go to school away from home where my car is being stored right now for the winter. A lot of the parts that I'm posting are parts that I've bought and that I've had shipped to my parents house.
I also have one other problem right now.
The tires I bought are wonderful, BUT I have 3 passenger side tires and 1 driver side!! I bought them from a buy and sell forum local to my parents, so I had my dad go pick them up. I forgot to tell my dad to check them because I knew they were directional. Turns out the guy gave him 3 passenger side and 1 driver side  Do you guys think that maybe if I call around to a few places, that a shop might be able to trade me for a driver side? They're still brand new with the stickers right on them.
unboundmo, yes I have the chin spoiler on it right now. Its a closed mouth, and I can drag it on the right driveway. It doesn't happen too often, but once in a while I hear a scraping. Nothing has cracked yet (fingers crossed, knock on wood) but I occasionally repaint it from stone chips as well. As for the diffuser, thats the look I hope to get out of it

I doubt you would notice any issue if you put the A symmetric on the left rear, as long they are correct rotation. who's gonna notice ?

I would notice lol. Sometimes I can be picky about things like that. It would probably stay in the back of my mind and I would convince myself that the handling is off.
Good news though, this saturday I'm having two of the tires exchanged for the BF Goodrich T/A G-Force KDW in 235/45/17
So my tire set up will be:
Front: BF Goodrich T/A G-Force KD in 225/45/17
Rear: BF Goodrich T/A G-Force KDW in 235/45/17
A little wider in the rear

wider in the rear works a lot better .i run 205 front / 245 rear .eliminates the snap throttle oversteer , especially when you have more than stock horse power .really like your new wheels .

Thanks What width rim do you have the 245's on? The rims I have are only 7 inch wide... I heard 235 is pretty much the limit, otherwise theres no performance gain from anything wider on a 7 inch rim.

my rims are 7" by 16" .the 245's seem to fit well.the place where i bought the tires didnt mention that there might be a problem .i actually wanted even narrower tires on the front(185's)but apperantly you need to drop down to a 6 1/2 or 6" rim to do that .the fiero is not that heavy in the front so it really doesnt need that wide a tire in the front .and a narrower tire doesnt follow all the rutts and get tossed around like a wide tire does .i noticed that on my 85 4cyl .the lotus exige uses 185's in the front .

Sounds good to me, makes me feel a little more confident about putting 235's on them. I can't wait to build the rear coil overs

I just tested my new G-Force KDWs and they are really sticky. Even with a V8 and Big brakes, it's a fight to break them loose. And they're not even broke-in yet.
