Just to see what public opinion is here. ONLY if you are into this kind of thing, what car model kit would you put on your car given the money? I'd love to see a droptop 360 come along or an F60 kit down the road but we all know that won't happen.
By the way, I love the typical fiero body as much as anybody.
------------------ '86 SE - My car is actually a MacLaren F1 with a Fiero body kit; or not.
I'd have to go with the IMSA wide-body kit. Or that mini-Ferrari look-alike that's made by that english company... can't think of the name right now. I like kits that keep the Fiero look much better, but I wouldn't mind an F355 kit.

I used to have the Ferrari Dino. You don't see many of the older classic cars as kits anymore. I love the older Ferrari kits because nobody knows what they look like anyomore (except the experts) and you could get away with alot more mistakes both in shape and interior. The 308 & 328's are a dead givaway with the roof line (at least to me), and so are F40 Kits because of the wheel spacers, but I still love kits! My Dino used to get attention everywhere I went and was actually pretty close to the original except for that damn fiero roof line. It just isn't slanted enough!! I admire guys that go all out on their kits but after owning one I have to ask...After pouring all that money and effort into a fiero you could buy the real thing!! And don't take this the wrong way because I include myself in that statement. All the money I poured into my Dino kit and my Northstar conversion and I could have a nicely used 308,308GT4 or Mondial 8, even a Lambourghi Jalpa goes for about $15-20US. Italians are not as difficult to work on as people think and for the 3.0 & 3.2L Ferrari engine there are lots of parts out there. But I still can't get away from admiring a beautifully done kit.

I'll go with the IMSA look, but I like the original race design over the street design. With the kit they lowered the beltline (the ribbing that goes around the body) I'm assuming the reason was too help conceal the cavernous look the Fiero wheel wells have. If I got the kit I think I'd enlarge the wheel wells to more closely resemble the race design.

It was a joke based on your Screenname.
But no one thought it was funny.

I'd be happy with a different front fascia that actually looked good on a Fiero. I like the rest of the car, but I can't find a nose that has the side trim or just looks plain ugly.
