Do you have a way to take the Archie skirts off and see how the nose would look on a stock Fiero?

The quarters & fenders are trimmed underneath. These are the only rockers that I have so I'll have to make something of them.

I personally never liked the archie side skirts, and I love the curves in your concept. I think they will flow quite well, especially with your new bumper. Also, the front bumper guards are quite a nice touch. They look pretty good and better yet, are functional. They don't stand out, I'm surprised it isn't a more common solution.



This yellow notchie is pretty close to my setup. The GT rear looks better than my Formula rear. Looks like I have to do something about that as well.

The WCF springs and coilovers lowered the car about 1 1/2 inches in the back and about 1 inch in the front. I've got spacers in the front because originally the springs were too low and not enough clearance room for city street driving.

Hi Rob,
Everything looks great. You da man

I have not seen Riceburner lately. I take it he's keeping busy?

Later... Got to go work on that wiring...

If you have 17s up front then my 18s are going to be even tighter to fit, but I can't run them with stock fenders anyway because they stick out 2 inches at the front. I'll have to use the stock little 15s for the time being until I get the time to do something about it.

Yaa, I gotta take everything out first, my carpet smells old & musty, gotta change it & I'm re-doing some of the panels in red.

The GT wheels are too small for my 2" drop spindles so I threw in a pair of shorter springs instead. The springs didn't lower the car by much; I'd say it only made it level with the rear now, but it does make a huge difference. It'll look even meaner when I get the new spindles installed. My driveway is sloped so I turned the car around to make it look lower. The front sits just about right in the photo.

Looks better. You say the 18" wheels in front wont fit with the stock fenders? are they too wide?

Porsche 8.5x18 front wheels are too wide for stock. Will have to do fender flares when I get a chance. In the mean time the stock GT wheels will have to do.
