But, how did you get 3 Big Guys in there?????? LOL



I was wondering when someone would ask that.

Sometimes I say things like that or post a picture that doesn't go with the rest just to see if anyone is watching or reading.

You win the "I'm Awake" award for today. Which gets you nothing except the pride of knowing that you're on the ball.

Also notice that the 3 big guys aren't all that big.

But it was a clever way to get Kris, Rob & Mark's pictures in this thread.

I know there has been many hours of work and many mods changed over the course of the build.
But I think the wing, spoiler, no wing could be that the stock wing and the whale tail spoiler seem small due to the body being wider. Probably an option would be to widen them. This would give the rear view a much better low and wide look. Right now you have a wide body and a thinner width spoiler/wing it seems to take away from the flow of the car. Almost a "stuck-on" appearence. With the wider wing it draws you back to the original concept of low and wide. As for the side view, Moving the wing to the back edge of the decklid would make it seem longer instead of "stubbed" at the rear.

Not sure if it could be done with the whale tail, But here's what the stock wing would look like widened:



Here is the original pic for comparison:



Even though they are the same pic, Notice how the bottom pic makes the car look thinner/taller?

Here is a photoshop of the whale tail widened:



And the original for comparison:




You know, after looking at the rear pics I posted, The stock wing widened looks the best to me. I generally like the whale tails but on this car, The widened stock wing appears to have much better flow.
Of course this is just my opinion.

I'm with troyboy, put that stock wing up a little higher. Need some jazz to go with a really sharp car.

The front looks really nice too.

Please dont raise the wing, its the ugliest thing Ive ever seen and makes me want to vomit every time I see one. Your car doesnt deserve to be treated like that.

The best looking option would be to use the OE wing, add 2" to the width, LOWER the wing 1.5" and move it back 3". Photoshop anyone?

Geezs, there's a lot of ways to go with this latest pipe-modification. I like Orief's idea of the use of cutting out a section of a stock Fiero wing (2-4"?) making it wider (Lf & Rt) but if I may add...I'd use something along the lines of #011 and make it wider or tweek the existing wing by reducing it's height and adding extentions on the ends?

Either way, it's Troy's decision but, like both styles.

The car is looking awesome. Just a question..... is this the final ride height and stance?
The color is what is really gonna make a difference, this is a hard decision because you have a lot to consider. Yellow in my opinion would look good, but be a little too mellow for a car like this. I am a little bias, but I would advice on the pearl orange...hehe .Its my favorite.

Go orange!
