I hate to say it, but I declined a very generous offer by Doug for the pieces. So, if someone is interested, please contact Doug. I'm pretty sure he will make you the same offer.
With the wheelbase fixed (lots of axle work) and the wheels purchased, I just couldn't use the fenders and they need to be sold as a set with the rockers to properly show them off.
Here are a couple pics I just took of the wing sitting on my 88GT.
As you can see, it just barely spans the trailing butresses, and there is only a small edge catching that allows it to sit there.
There are ways it could be made to work, but the other issue is going to be clearance with the decklid in the up position. Didn't open the lid while I had it on there, but it will hit unless you take steps to limit its travel, which again, if you REALLY wanted to install one of these on a stock GT, could be accomplished.
Anyway, just trying to answer your question. Here's the pics:
Sorry for the crappy pictures, using my crappy phone to take them!
Anyway, bottom line is yes, it could be done, but you could also go to the moon if you had a rocket...

Clear as mud. Kidding... I understand what you're (trying) to say.

No, but that's a neat idea just the same. I've got a Canadian 308 kit called a Stinger (www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/083063.html) that was made from different molds than the Mera and Mera clones (Fejer) so I was wondering if that roof spoiler would fit without too much modification. Still have to go measure my car to see though...
Sage, could you PM me a cost estimate (less shipping) as well? Thanks.
I purchased one about a year ago for the Enterra and Archie and i did not like how it looked on the Enterra or the Chop top so in the parts bin it goes
There ya go Tony! Just talk Troy into "donating" to you for research, won't put you out a penny, unless you have to pay shipping.
We've decided if we make and sell them, they will list for $250 with studs installed, and $200 without, which means the customer can use whatever fastners they want.
As I said earlier, it can be made to fit on a stock Fiero, but my guess is the decklid is gonna hit when opened, but again, if you want it bad enough it can be worked out.
I'm very interested in a roof spoiler. I'm working on an air-to-air intercooler mounted under it. I would need to build a lower shroud to force the rooftop airflow through it and insulate it from rising heat out of the decklid vents, but I think it should work good. Similar to the Ford RS200.

Hello Rick in Wisconsin, whoever ends up with these parts please contact me. I need a front clip, hood, and headlight cover. If anyone knows of a aftermarket manufacture of the parts I need also contact me at rick.zentz@gkn.com or by phone at 608-361-1839. These parts will complete my project to restore my 88, thanks.
I believe that the kit car market has all but disappeared. The Fiero is no longer the cheap sports car that appealed to the youth market, the ownership is mainly getting older and the changing demographics in the next generation cause little interest in hobbies. There are also fewer Fieros to be had these days. The people that own Meras and 308 replcars will surely keep them but we are talking about probably way less than 500 vehicles in North America.

If some enterprising manufacturer wants to make a Prius body kit, that might be a big seller. The Mera and 308 kits are much more of a product of their times.... The 80s.
