Yes. the chroming of the metal lense lip would make it "pop." You might be correct about the carbon fiber coating; when your venturing into unchartered territory you can't be too sure. You'll have a better visual of things once your car is painted. BTW, what color are you painting it?

HAPPY HAPPY!

Those lights are pretty sweet on the Fiero.

Comment #1: Any more pics of this beast?

Comment #2: Is there NO WAY to convince FierociousGT to reconsider bringing this C5 fixed light fab to life??

OK, FierociousGT, Have you dropped this idea with the C5 headlights? Has anyone else tried something similar to this also, because as we all can agree to that the stock headlights are about the only think that makes the Fiero look outdated. This is one of only 2 or 3 mods that I really like and I think I would prefer these to popups.I really see no problem with mounting lamps where you want them but I supose the real problem is getting the lexan molded to a shape that fits the stock hole in the hood.

I know that you were tring to make it a direct bolt-in setup but if that is not feesible, It would be nice if we got together on this and found an inexpensive way to make this work.
Any thought on this matter?

Hi JumpStart,

Yes. The reason I dropped the C5 headlights is due to the curvature of the C5 hood vs the Fiero. I'm currently using the NSX GT-One headlights (non-OEM Honda/Acura). The C5 can be used but require more time to mod the hood. Need a set of C5 HL? Anyway to fabricate similar HL I need someone with good glass skills or I would need a hood to work on and some free time (I'm a workaholic, not much free time). The lexan is the easy part once we have the shape made out of fiberglass. Love to chat more about this with you. I see ur in CFL... We have a club meeting on Feb 7, '08 @ 7pm. Here are details on our website www.CentralFloridaFieros.net

I really need to make it back out to some of the meetings but it always seems that if I have the time off ,I have something that really needs to be done and I dont have much free time at all working 2-3 jobs. Anyway from my guessing like I stated before , I dont think it would be too hard to mount any lights that are similar to these into the stock location without cutting anything.

Im not sure what size could be used but it looks like the front hight of the plastic lense would be around 70-75 mm keeping the top of the lense level (perpendictular to the road if you see what I mean) or to give it more room,put some more angle on it (slightly higher in the front than the back of the plastic lense) and /or raise the whole thing a bit more all the way around by maybe 10mm.

Also I think that the lenses should be put in from the bottom if possible and fastened from underneath,leaving them attached to the hood.

Maybe we can find someone that can do the glasswork, as for me im not that good at that sort of thing or I would be all over this.

Thanks, Steve
