Theres some thin metal webbing in the middle of the intercooler that blocks the air form the supercharger. When you cut all that out it will improve airflow.

update...
I had some spare time today so I went to take a look at the new painted parts and geting them on the car...put the windshield/sunroof rubbers in place (the interior is pretty soaked by yesterdays weather ). Almost all parts are painted, just some minor touchup in a few places. If they or I find some issue they take care of it...! Rearbumper installed:

frontbumper...some dirty work on the back:

Why worry about the FRONT end?

With the 3800sc all they will see is the tail lights !! so worry about the looks of that !

p.s. I cut out that center piece you told me about on the IC , seems to flow much better now !

I am not worried about the lights because its pretty easy to change to a different looking set..but first I will put all the pieces of the puzzle together and then see what needs attention. (btw Revin this vid was taken shortly before a drive around the block, with no front and sideskirts/scoops so people only got to see the rear )

all parts are pretty dusty but it hardly shows...lol..headlightdoors back in place:


shaved the -pontiac- from the headlight door already a long time ago...
I am still debating on using a custom logo, a pontiac reference or just no signs at all..

You're really trying hard for the "Best Fiero in the World" award, huh? I like it. Big thumbs up from me!

It's looking really good clean as it is now. But, on the other hand, one Fiero emblem between the tailights or in the center of the grill could be really classy and exotic-looking. It would bring the look of the car together IMHO.

Kinda Ferrari-esque. I dunno if you want to use their signature feature though.

I like that!.. I figured a fiero emblem wouldnt be suitable after all the mods and butchering it, but I would be proud having it there...
