RacinBob, the car looks real good and I can't wait to see it at the Dells Run it should give the "B-class" V6 coupe a real run for their money, the only thing that I would do if I was you ( if you want to try and win the CASH in your class and be the best V6 coupe) do the following:
1)Go to the Pontiac Dealer or Rodney and purchase 2 new pontiac arrow embblem for the GT side windows, I noticed yours are faded
2) Auto Zone or Western Auto, sell the correct valve cover cap in the help section.
3) I would also change the spark plug wires to red ones like the original ones I think Auto Zone sells them (the cap says 5w-30w written on the cap)
4) Re-shoot the rear grates covers
5) Is your steering wheel twisted? If so look into that
6) I would (personally) get a new egr valve it helps dress up the engine compartment
7) Make sure you fill the wind shield washer bottle ALL the way to the tippy top before the show, it looks better then 3/4, 1/2, 1/4 filled.
8) Plus it looks like you are missing the jack for the car
9) Lastly one last thing to do (personnally) change all the switches with new ones you can get them from pontiac still, power mirror, window, trunk release, rear defrost.
10 Are you missing the seat belt cover for the drivers seat?

I hope you don't think I'm attacking you because I'm not, it's just that after helping run the Fiero Dells Run for so long many people ask me what could I've done to make my car place higher and when I tell them they say: "I wish I would have talked to you before coming to the show so I could have done those things" Can't wait to see you there! Later Fiero John-WI

You know I have never seen one on a car... Sunroof visor that is. As for wires, I might change them back for the show I have the factory numbered pacarad wires and cap (I broke the rotor, com'on it was 17 years old) as for keeping it stock, probably not going to happen. This is my toy, and I like to race, mostly drag but I like the twisties too. Probably nothing big, I thinking a 3.4 built up a little with NOS, the engine shop here said they could get performance parts for any engine. It will probably also get new shocks, struts and springs. Fieros were fast in their day and still are nothing to sneeze at, but it can be better. If anyone wants to "save" this fiero from me, it's yours for $4500, if not just remember it's each to their own. Please none of this is meant as a flame or insult. I do respect people that keep thier cars stock and love them stock but that is not me. A large part of what I love about fieros is what I can do to make it MY fiero. However, my biggest priority is to pay the loan off so untill then it will be 99% stock. The only thing now is the parts I changed for the tune up since the only ignition parts that have been charged were the spark plugs.
