The underside is looking good. Skipping out on finishing the job would have been a major failure. It cost me an extra $400 bucks, but I'm happy and I can sleep at night. IMHO that's what counts.





While I was inspecting the hood I notice they forgot to paint the inside of the radiator vent black.



However, I told the shop to bypass the area between the headlight and were the Audi driving light are located, because this area is blocked by the lights. I hope not to go back and repaint the car again, but since 99% of the Norm's C6 flipper is now smoothed out-I won't have any issues unless Bambi runs into my car.





From viewing the pictures I believe the red headlamps aren't same color as the paint. Thus black wins be default.

or...you can do what MADMODS did with his Solstice...black with color matched accent rings:

Depending upon which set used I got my meats this week from the TireRack. These tires are for the fronts since I used the old PRosso's on my work car.






The rubber isn't as hard compared to the PRosso's and they are a bit cheaper. The 255/30/19 are IMHO the best side for 8.5-9" front wheels for a Fiero. I like the 235's too, but these look better.



The shop up north is a bit better at mount custom wheels. The guy who mounts them is off on Monday's so I left the wheels at the shop.

I got the fronts chromed at New Wheel in Anaheim CA. I like polish wheels and all, but the clowns here in CA out lawed the wheel cleaning agent I commonly use. I'll get the rear's chromed too once the car comes back from the paint shop.

Nice suggestion but I already have a set of Audi driving lights (the same as Troy's) so it it's already lighting up like a Xmas tree.

I've voted for black headlights since you chose the red paint color.

The red lights just get drowned with the rest of the red.

At first look I liked the red but black stands out more or you could always go red and smoke the covers.

Okay, black it is. I gotten the same response from exoticse and 4.9fiero too. Red is nice, but not nice enough. The SEMA Corvette too had black, but in Carbon fiber. Those are 1k and I'm not going there.

Victory Red. The color is known by other names as well.

Same gas station in both pics.



Five hours later:













The Chopper was out of gas and the battery was low. We finalized a few details and called it a day. Gas price this was $4.45 earlier in the day and when I got back it was $4.65. The gas jumped .20 in three hours!
