Okay guys, I'm assuming the front bumper is the 355...but looks better than nearly all others I've seen installed. How come most of them dip off so steeply, yet this one flows with the body lines... THIS IS THE ONE I WANT, WHERE DO I GET IT?

Actually, the nose on my car is similar but not the same as the "Dietmar" nose. You could say that they share ancestry. I never found out who actally made the first mold of this type of nose (the Germany 355 style) but anyways...

There *are* differences - but that doesn't matter since the vendor I bought mine from is no longer in business...

@Pacethis - have a look at http://www.yellowfiero.com/fiero_pix.html for more pix.

You and I both. But I don't dare rush it to the point I don't get it exactly the way I want it. Going to work on getting the doors rebuilt this weekend. The door panels are coming off, the hinges will get new pins, and the power goodies will be installed and tested. I'm not going to put the door panels back on until I get new dew wipes for it. Figure it's easier to replace them while the panels are off of the car.

Sounds like you are making pretty decent progress!
Anxious to see the finished car in person.

Don't take life too seriously -- you'll never get out if it alive.

Got one door completely rebuilt this weekend. Took a little longer than I was expecting. Had to use bolts and lock nuts on the window and door lock regulators instead of self-tapping screws. With the outer door panel off, it made access to everything a lot easier. Tested it all with some leads and a battery charger. Window goes up and down and the door locks and unlocks, so I must've got it right. Hands still got pretty marked up thought trying to fit them throught he tight places. It's progress anyway.
