It is with selfish hesitation I write this, you see after having visited with Norm and seeing his Tilt front end in person, I wish to be the only person with it. That being said I cannot contain my excitement of having seen this front end in person, the words gorgeous, incredible, wicked do not do justice to describe the level of detail, ingenuity and skill norm has put into to the front end.

Initially I was skeptical about the deep well (anyone have a better name) hood scoop. At the 20th I had seen a similar design and really disliked it, I guess when I saw the pictures of Norm’s front end I over layed what I had seen at the 20th with what he did and couldn’t see it looking right. Now having witnessed this work of perfection in person I’m still wiping the drool of my lips. Norm has blended in great aerodynamics, with also of attention to detail and greatly enhanced the front end, I know the stock front end looks good, well Norm’s looks great, most of his changes are subtle so that it really retains the stock hoods lines, looks and feel, yet adds a touch of exoticness to the car. One of my favorite details is how he brought the hood up over the windshield wipers, hiding the plastic whatyamacall it underneath the hood. Spectacular is all I can say and my words don’t do it justice.

AHHH enough already GIMMIE PICS!!!!!!!!

I think it fits the Fiero very well, better than the stock aero front. I never could figure out why Pontiac made the front lower ground effects angle up. Well this kit sure corrects that. I will start saving up for one, hopefully you wont run out by the time I have enough to buy a copy What does the kit weigh in comparison to the stock aero front?

Erik thats a great question the entire front clip weighs just a few pounds more than the stock hood alone. When you remove the hood, popup lights, fenders, front facia and a little sheet metal you save approx 100lbs. thanks Norm

Hope this is OK Norm... Postin those pics you sent me so everyone can see....

Down right AMAZING!!!!!!!!! Factor of 100

Ummm Seeing it in person raises the factor to 10,000

I think that front end on Jordans Fiero would be simply awesome!!!
It would also solve Jordans need for a chin spoiler too

I have to agree with all of you. Norm's front end is simply AMAZING!!! I also want one. you all can get one too cause you aren't from canada. so it wouldnt bother me as much. hmm.

if i were the first in canada if norm would give me a deal of like 80% off. sound good norm? LOL. it could be like sponsoring me. i could put Norm's Fiberglass decals on and such. go to shows. i think that is an amazing idea.

I wonder if it would look as good on a notchie? anyone wanna photoshop it?

Wow thats impressive, I would imagine that the downforce created by the hood vent would take its place to keep the front end down? Did you happen to run it through a windtunnel?

Hello Erik, well I cant afford tunnel time, but my experiance building parts for race teams helped. Plus I built two large wind tunnels for the University of Notre Dame (go Irish). Look in the picture gallery of www.normsfiberglass.com thanks Norm

nice......is there a reason that the corners where the headlight buckets used to be are cut off?........................

I believe that is because of the way the NEW headlights sit into the frame... Another small reason i am talking to Norm about a "flush headlight" or stock headlight version of the same exact hood. Car accident would render me screwed if i wanted to go stock for a short time till insurance woke up from unconsiousness after finding out how much $$ my custom front end that there 16 year old newbie female driver wiped out... hehe

Norm,

That Nose is Awsome, as I'm sure you've heard a time or two by now. Are their any plans to have gfx that match in better with the lines of the front end?

very nice norm!

But I want the rear clip to do that instead ! Well? your thoughts on that???.please

Hello Revin, Youre reading my mind that is what we are currently doing in the design process. A rear flip up with a louvered rear window that can be used to change overfrom a Notchie to a fastback if you like. thanks Norm

Saw this car at Daytona,..Norm's craftmanship and ingenuity was awesome !

I do however have to agree with some comments about the headlights,....they could be styled differently.

Stylewise also the hood seemed too squared. That is just my tastes though, we all like different things.

Regardless of the styling cues, this is a great product !

"A rear flip up with a louvered rear window that can be used to change over from a Notchie to a fastback if you like."

NOW that's what I want! Can't wait to see that.

I definately give that nose piece a "thumbs up" ! We are still on for April 3 right?

I walked out the door of the Holiday Inn in Daytona Beach Shores and saw the yellow car up on the trailer. Looked better than the pictures.

Marianna took a look at it Saturday at the track - liked it.

Sunday Norm was kind enough to drop off a kit for the front of my 87 coupe - heck it looks good in primer. With a little luck it will be at the Florida Fiero Weekend at Daytona 2005.
