bump for the man that brought us the following awesome modifications:
Turbo Sunbird Tachometer with integrated Boost Gauge
Back lit headlight doors
Engine Window with 'mood lighting'
Center Console Homelink integration
Removable rear window pass-through
The Cleanest Engine Bay in a Fiero
And the best thing, A Thread that's lasted 5 YEARS without touching the archives. FIVE YEARS!!!
(all be it that i posted the day before the actual birthday)
While it may be debatable, I truly believe that your style of customizing is the most creative while still being tasteful and true to the Fiero form and philosophy.
I really hope you do not sell this car, not because it should be yours forever. but because the car is likely one of the most well known and well done Fieros on this forum. A triumphant leader of innovation and imagination. An artist in the medium of fiberglass and speed. While there may be many people worthy of owning and maintaining this car, and while there may be many that could keep it covered in a garage, strapped down on a trailer, or sit proudly by its side parked at a show, there are very few people in this community that could possibly continue to raise the bar of Fiero modifications, few that could document it to such a degree, and certainly no one that could continue to transform a car so tastefully into something more, into something better, into something Great and yet something innately and recognizably FIERO.
This car is SkiTime's car, it's your car. I don't think anyone would have enough balls to buy this car and try to continue modifying it. Anyone who purchases your car instantly becomes the curator of "Skitime's car." I can only liken this experience to possibly owning 1 of the 3 Scaglietti Corvette Italias or owning an Aston Martin DB4 Zagato. These cars are individual pieces of art, all minutely different, none exactly the same. To think that you have 1 of 1, the only Skitime Fiero. thats cool.
In the end it is your car to sell, and the recipient will become a truly lucky owner. In the event that you have found some other outlet for your seemingly boundless imagination, creativity, and skill. It is conceivable that you may have grown bored of the car and tired of the modifications. in this case i would suggest moving on to focus upon whichever creative outlet has captured you now as the Fiero once captured it many years ago.
on a lighter note:
In the event that you do not sell your car and continue showing it, when is the huge Fiero gathering in Michigan this year? i have to see your car in person. With some luck mine will be done, and it'll be there too.

And to think I almost didn't look at this thread. Ski, your car is awe-inspiring, a piece of automotive art. And I am sure others can attest to level of disgust that arises when we see how easy you make it look! It is hard to truly comprehend the amount of work and the amount of money it must have taken to achieve such a level of quality. Bravo, you make us all proud. 
P.S. - might there be a decklid grill from one of the MR2 models that would work if one were attempting to duplicate your third decklid vent?------------------
Ninety percent of the population thinks you'd have to be crazy to own a Fiero. I'm in the other ten percent!

Surprisingly it is simply the factory original GM bright red. I love the color and have had several red sports cars in the past.

Wow man, thanks for the many kind words. I was figuring the GT was being forgotten. Guess not. I still have days I should keep it and days I would sell it but either way I love the GT.
