It has fixed windows and the rear bumper is attached so it looks sort of funny but I still like the basic lines and stance of it.

I think this car would be fun to drive.

Not a big thing if you want separate parts. Just make sure that you mold in your flanges before you separate the parts. Makes the realignment a snap. F355, I had to go take a look at what you've done on your car. I see you got the good stuff from Joe. He was able to source me some stock axles that are not only longer but stronger too. I'm a big fan of your current project and after visiting your build I can't help taking another look at the chop targa top that's in the mall.[This message has been edited by dratts (edited 12-16-2011).]

This is an example of a replica so badly done you can spot it 100 yards away.
Please tell that this can fool anybody except a 4-yr old.

This might not be a very popular comment, however, I feel that Fiero based kit cars are the best and worse thing to ever happen to our cars.

That is definitely a good example of a bad replica. Fortunately every chop top that has been done has been absolutely perfect.

Yea, Joe hooked me up with the good stuff. I just wish I could find time to do a little work. If I had found a good deal on a good kit in time the car would have been a kit car.

Everything is wrong with this kit. Notice the body, door, glass, A-pillar, mirrors, stock brakes, wheels. However, the owner nailed in on the badges-for everything else can be wrong, but not the badges.

The red one is an IFG body. It was the first 355 out and the worst. The top is terrible. If you will get off the threads about replica/kit cars I will promise not to get on your threads and bash your stuff. (I never did anyway. I'm a car guy with wide interests)

Dude, you're too late. Shawnbag and Pennock's Sucks and Super Tuner forums have beaten you to it. Your welcomed to bash away on my threads for all of my cars are nothing more than modified Fieros and I'm humble enough to badged as such.
Not even close to the original, but the Ferrari emblems are in place to let all know it's a replica, right?

The badges are there for those who don`t know the difference and a good chuckle for those that do.
Hey, if people can mistake a Fiero as a Ferrari then they can sure as heck mistaken something that looks even closer to a Ferrari.
