Yeah, Norm was at Fierorama in Chicago in September... His 'glasswork looked good, and the basic concept of the flip-up front clip was cool... I just think I'd have probably done a few things differently (make the trim "flow" from the rest of the car, utilize more-modern style headlight fixtures, and modify the rest of the car to "balance" the heavy look of the front end).

I'll see if I can dig up a pic or 2 to post

Here we go!

I like the concept and most of the execution except using the boat resin. Coremat and veil are cool though.

I also would have tried to get a more modern looking headlight in there.

The only other pics I have show more detail underneath... I never did get a good shot of the car with the clip closed.

But FireFox (Mark) had a shot from Fierorama with the car in a line (front clip closed): https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/033506.html

I really like it! Has a classic but not dated look with the headlights. All the tiny ones are getting to be so 'common' The spoiler & ducting, especially the hood, look great. The hood opening is just what I want to do to one of my GTs.

I love the flip up conceept & it looks like it's been nicely executed (from the website pics at least). I'd probably get one if I hadn't just bought another flip front car on Sunday (wanted one like it since I was 12) .

Did anyone see how the hinges/flip up structure were done?

Look closely at the last set of pics I posted... one is a pretty good one looking in and down.

Here's a lightened close up for you...

I noticed from the pictures that the headlights and turn signals are not wired, unless he has some sort of quick connect plug. There aren't even bulbs in the turn signal sockets.

His website has good pictures with the front down. http://www.normsfiberglass.com/index.html

Does anyone have experience with his products? He lists 3.4L DOHC conversion kits, HEADERS and exhaust kits. I emailed a request for more info.

Here's a couple more pics from Naskie's Fierorama03.ZIP that I downloaded somewhere along the way:

What I'd really like to see is a well-lit good quality photo of a side profile & front 3/4 view for reference (the one on his site doesn't show enough of the rest of the car).

I like it.
The head lights need to be balanced. If the rest of the car had the trim smoothed off it would flow great.
I don’t like all the front frame you have to cut off, bet your insurance company would have a ball with that.
Over all it looks very nice.

I really quite like the front lip portion, it reminds me somewhat of a Camaro RS front fascia. I do not care for the headlights or the front fender flare line, however. I did a quick photoshop a while back too see what it would look like with the stock headlights and modding the side trim so that it flows into the side rocker FX instead of up and into the fender line.

Very cool. At least two front engine pro street Fieros.
Would be cool to get Boom and his silver beast and the owner of this awesome white beast at a track sometime and see who has the quicker pro-streeted Fiero
Would make for an awesome photo-op
