Needs MOAR black.



Not sure how to make the sideskirts look good in black with the way they are shaped, but the front lip and bottom edge of the back bumper would look great with some black added.

Good stuff Curly, glad to see this vehicle nearing completion.

It was tough decision for it could go either way and the only other car I looked at was the Ferrari F599. I was thinking of only doing just the rear and front and leave the rocker as-is like the F599. Mayby on #015 I hope to change up use more black outs. One thing that Trends said was, "If you use more black outs you're going back to the original paint scheme from 1987 Fiero were the ground FX are grey." Seriously, one can lose their minds trying to make a decision especially standing in 100 degree heat looking at a freaking 25 yr old car.


In other news: Trends can't find the hex bolts that attaches the front flipper to the actuators which means they can't transport the car to the detail shop.

Example of rear/sides black out:

Funny how "trends" go round in circles, isn't it? No pun intended

That's why I kept my ground effects black. If people say it looks outdated I just have to wait a little while. Eventually the trend will come back and I'm ahead of the game!

Either way you choose to go, it will look great. Hurry up and get it back together! It's been a long time coming.

I got a chance to go by the shop and the chopper was already towed to the polish gig, so I turned around and drove over there to see the installed tail lamps.









On Wednesday the cut n' polishing begins. I'm having my work car repaired so I will be drooling at #020 for 2-hrs as they do their thing.

The shop installed the PONTIAC lamps and I think the combination of the Camero bow-tie wing and black out areas go very well with the lights. It appears to make the lights bigger and with definition.

No. The 19's (the one mounted up front) are for my work car's winter wheel or used whenever my cars needs shop repair work.
