interesting. although i've always been a fan of a straight edged front bumper, the angles on that one do intrigue me. look forward to more progress

That front chin spoiler... was it originally made up of two pieces from another bumper or something? or is it a one piece chin spoiler from fiero warehouse that you've just cut in half and then cut again to made your design?

Bingo ! It was a fiero warehouse closed mouth chin spoiler. Curly had it cut in two and then had it modded to suit his tastes.

Never will you see him just bolt something on, ..he always has to tweek it and personalize it.

It will really look good when he molds it into the nose itself.

Hmm yeah,

looks pretty cool, but I still prefer the chin spoiler the way it came... I'm sure when its all done it will look awesome though

Thanks Tony for posting pics and keeping members up-to-date on project "Rhinoplasty" and "Phat Lip." I'm sorry I couldn't answer several peoples "PM's" because I was way too tired after working on the project on my days off.

As Tony mentioned, the project was easy to do using simple items found at your local harware store. I choose to use Aluminum cause it's light, doesn't rust, and is easy to bend to desired shape. I have some final pics. If you want I'll send Tony some final pics of the actual shape today---if you want? We went with a larger lip to "test fit" the front spoiler, but as I viewed the pics, I decided to reduce part of the lip for a more sharper look plus allowing for additional 1/2" clearance. After breaking my original IRM front spoiler three times, I don't want a repeat of the past.


I was tring to mimick the 1990 Concept Fiero's front spoiler. Right now it look's "stock" or something made from the factory. I still need some fine tuning of the part so, just like all other parts......it's in it's ruff stages.

Next, Hopefully I'll go back and install the Corvette front or rear side marker lamps in two weeks. Enjoy.

Edit: We pulled out the ends for allow for a uniform look to match the rear and IRM.

And it saves you some money on shipping due to the large irregular size. Since I didn't need the center piece why pay more for shipping....just cut it in half.
