Man, I totally forgot about this thread. I'm sure you all have seen the photos I posted of my new rear end, but I'll post 'em up in this thread to help keep it alive.
This is a little idea I had, thanks Bernie for the template :P
Pagani Zonda inspired, with a polished aluminum panel in the taillight area, the trunk removed of course. The exhaust would run high, leaving room on the bottom for dual tunnels with diffusers, allowing you to cover the bottom of the vehicle and seal the engine compartment, use side scoops to cool the engine compartment and rear vents to vent the air from the engine compartment, keeping the pressure in the engine bay away from the bottom of the vehicle. All this allows for better aerodynamics and high speed stability, making the car itself a wing, the air being evacuated from the bottom as fast as it can with the tunnels... plus it would look unique and sexy!
Yes, that's me ! Here on Pennock's I'm Car-Lo chopper has gone many changes since that pic of me working on rear bumper
I love that car bro! FYI your Fiero is the Fiero I first fell in love with! I had dreams of going the lambo replica route until I saw this Fiero a few months back. Since then, I have found several that I like but yours I simply drool over. Infact, I showed my wife and daughter that video of your car at the track and told them that this is how I want our car to look and sound! Truly a work of art. I absolutely love that car! Nice work buddy.

What Video? My Favorite too, but don't tell my car....shhh.
If she finds out I won't be running 11's @ the track this spring.
Cant find it ATM. It is a video of him at a time track. Running that beastly black beauty he has. I was quite impressed with the sound. I do however think it was on another video site other than youtube but dont hold me to that.

I'd love to but you see this probably will be a one off. The lights were Yellowstone's, which he bought in Europe. I guess they weren't available in the states. He had to postpone his build with Whodeanie including his lights. He was willing to sell them to me, so now I will be asking Dean to do them for my car while he has it (super secret spy project). Then the car will be traveling to another well known shop for some tweaking. If I have my way my car will be an all-star cooperative project. The tail lights are going to be sick though
There's another post on this car showing the side body mod work done. I cant seem to find it with the search engine. Can someone put the link up here please. BTW: I love look and along with my major engine mods I'm doing that rear look with a little twist and maybe the side build too.
That has got to be the sexyist fiero i've seen in my life. Just beat out curly's silver chop... How do i get a kit for this and how much? Yes i'm serious.

It's a one off, so no kit. Considering he appears to be abandoning it's design and starting over, it may never be available like that.

This is the car that had the post on how he did the body mods, or its maybe another one doen the same way? Anyway I know there's post here somewhere about it, maybe the topic was about rasing the sides instead of chopping the top. Still no luck with the search engine, so anyone?

Was he serious when he said he was done building this car? Or was he kidding?
Yes he is serious (as far as building it in it's current form) and inadvertenly i am afraid i am too blame.
John and i exchange emails regularly and recently i had been sending him some real and amatuer supercar designs i had run across on the net, and several of them really struck his fancy and sent him into a creative frenzy.
Something tells me if you like it now, you are really going to like what he rolls out next !

Absolutely love those light panels. I am likely to go this route.

I realize this is supposed to be a rear bumper thread, so in keeping with the topic, I love both of the custom rear bumpers shown. I'm really partial to the stock rear bumper, but the bumper on that gray GT is gorgeous.
