............is this the same height as a stock GT front fascia, or is it shorter?



Jeff, Nice build. It looks like you put alot of work into it; nice interior too.

Actually the Fi355 nose sits maybe 1.75"-2.00" lower at the front hence the reason for the skid pads. You'll notice that I've replicated the bottom GT mounting flange that bolts to the bottom of the radiator. In order to do that the wheel arch on the nose was made the same height as the GT, then slopes only slightly up towards the front. The stock GT nose would look so much better if the bottom was more level.

My Formula was a stolen recovery vehicle purchased at an auction near Sedro Woolley, WA. It was picked up by a forklift which crushed the rockers that was on it. The car sits way, way too high, and I Don't know the origins of these rockers but they kick the sides out about 4 inches and appear to sit lower than stock as well. I may put an Enzo touch on it since I don't have any replacement rockers for it.

Thanks,

Personally, I like the XLR mix with the fiero. That would be a body kit that i would enjoy. If i had the time and talent i would take on that project my self, but honestly wouldn't know where to start.

Or, if you have a little spare change you could commission me to build it.

Hello Rob,

Thanks for the reply, the props, and the explanation

I have to repaint the front and rear bumpers on mine (poor paint prep.....thanks Keystone!), so might as well update the looks as well. Let me know when this is ready for prime time. Awesome work!!!

I think Archie rockers have a sharp beveled edge with no side walls. One thing is for sure, the stock Formula rear bumper doesn't work with it. I have a GT rear that I can throw on instead, or maybe I can add somekind of Enzo-like diffuser attachment to it.

You bet. Wheels are off right now, thought I'd see about dropping the suspension first before taking some finished photos. The ride height really looks horrible.

I have Archie rockers and have been thinking about putting a formula rear bumper on my car and then adding a diffuser. Make a bolt on and I will send you a check
Right now I have a GT bumper but don't like the body lines, if I keep it I will have to smooth it or something, it just doesn't flow for my taste.

So, do the rockers on my Formula look the same as yours? Your GT rear bumper still will be better than the Formula. With the bevel cut on the bottom side of the Formula bumper it seems perfect for something to bolt up to it, don't you think?
