as far as the term DAMN!! ill use it as well but i think in differant terms, as in DAMN!!, thats Fugly
The only thing that I dont like abotu that car is the spoiler. If you can find some front and side views of it, its just a wide body GT, with purple metallic paint. It's actually quite nice. I agree, that picture makes it look pretty fugly.

Yours is definately up there, I dont know if I would go best though. That scarab fascia sure adds alot, not to mention the rims, but other than that, what else is on the exterrior? I havent really seen many pics.
The interrior is wild! I was going to vote for you on best stereo, but I didnt realise you were even close to being finished.
I'd say that one I saw on ebay with the convertable and northstar engine...I don't have pics but someone posted it before...Does that even count as a fastback?
But I think skitimes also is overall the most well rounded modified fiero.
That convertible Northstar is another Chris Moore creation and it was a fastback before it became topless.
And Archie's chop top definitely needs to be on the list of sweet fastbacks.

Thanks soup! :: pats on your back :: She's coming along nicely. I'm going to get the parobolic headlights when a kit is available. I am one of the first in line for Aus's hood scoops. I have Pat's FNF decklid scoop to install. And I plan on Archie's integrated rocker scoops and chop top. Wow, I have a way to go. I hope to get it most of the way there this summer.
I'll keep you guys updated on the progress, Greg

Hmmm....looks like Konig Monsoons. Love 'em, they're the same wheels I currently have in storage for my turbo project.
That's EXACTLY what they are, Ken. 17X7, 40mm offset. I procrastinated on ordering them, then when I finally went to buy them, they were discontinued. I lucked out on this set....they were on a "scratch and dent" auction on eBay from Discount Tire. Had to have one of them repaired, but it turned out pretty nice.
MinnGreenGT's (even in progress it looks good and I love what Reality did with how it's gonna look! can't wait to see that! )
Wild_86_Custom (haven't seen much of it, but love the pic in my calender (bottom left september))
and I LOVE the gunmetal colour chop top, dont know who's it is though.
Chris.
That looks like a pretty good list to me too. I might change a few around I do think SkiTime has the best detailed and qualiy built car that I've seen. It's one of a few cars I would trade for.

oh just so you know that's in no particular order, if I had to put them in order I dont think I could, I love them all so much
C'mon people... Ski's cutting powder and the car is in his garage... Still anxious to see more. Don't be afraid to post 'em... I know there's gotta be other fastbacks that stand out.
Archies Purple Pavement Eater is my favorite, i still like the almost stock looks, and with power to back it up...i wish i had the cash to buy it

Only these three have had enough effort, work, and changes put into them for them to be considered the best fastbacks in my book ...
- Skitime's red car - Simply Amazing *drools* Not much could make it any better ... maybe some different side vents?
- Kameo Kid - It's a beauty Queen for now, but it's getting a freaking turbo 3.4 dohc! Do something with that rainbow interior
- Great Blue Chop Top - Looks great, just needs to replace those TSW blades with someone else.
- Califonia Kid - My favorite so far, tastefully done, and I mean EVERYTHING was tasefully done, not to mention setup for roadracing/autoX, if I was to have anyone's fiero this would be it.

Heck no my ski season is over and I am out working in the garage on some new stuff.

Red 88 GT T-Top 3800 Supercharged White 88 GT Stock Please give me a rating if you appreciate my contribution. History of Skitimes Car
I would have to vote for Skitime's 88GT....just because of the hand craftsmanship that went into it and with the 3800SC powerplant to back up it's sinister looks!
My second favorite (close second) would have to be Cali.Kid's. The engine mixed with a yellow paint job makes it hard not to rate high on my list(the yellow paint job and rims really make this car awesome in my eyes)!
- Kameo Kid - It's a beauty Queen for now, but it's getting a freaking turbo 3.4 dohc! Do something with that rainbow interior
Beauty Queen "yes it is" and that is the one thing that has bothered me about my GT this last year and so I'm out to make some major changes that will make the GT as fast as it looks and still look good maybe even better. Don't worry Azarael the interior is next in line after the engine swap, looks like the cat is out of the back.. The Rainbow "I like to call it LEGO" interior was fun for the first year and a real attention getter but it's not me, so sometime in the near future as soon as i nail down the look i want that will change and i think all will like the new look.
Just want to say thanks to all for the great comments and I'm honered to be considered in a group with the likes of California Kid, Skitime, and the many great cars that come out of Archie's shop, and all the FINE Fieros that are on this forum.."there are many"
Well... I have to agree on the Skitime vote's... But, I guess if I was finished I might have even got a slight mention for effort.. I will have atop 5 Fiero when finished(dont ask when.. lol)
Great Fiero's everyone... Keep up the posting of pic's!!
Well, I like the mildly modded cars myself. Changes that accent the clean styling of the car rather than outrageous mods. Color choice and wheels are really important. Of course, Crazyd has a great looking example, but I also love FieroLisa's GT. It's a really cool color (I call it Viloent Grape )
This pic shows the color much better, but you can't see the whole car.
kmunson56 just one comment and one question. The hood vents are too busy, I think two outlets would look better (just my opinion). I really like what you have done with everything else.
Question, what is that engine? That intake is rather different.
Monza76, I am working on a different hood that moves the vent area back to the rear. Once I did the front fascia I decided the hood vents where they were wasn't working. The engine is a Camaro 3.4L with a custom intake made by Ryan Falconer back in 1988 along with Chevrolet Performance. I have changed the fuel rails from what was originally on the intake. It is similar to a Hilborne intake with one throttle plate per cylinder. I am still getting it tuned in. Just got a Haltech computer to operate it last month. Kris
and I love what Reality did with how it's gonna look! can't wait to see that!
