I saw this fastback conversion on FB, looks like someone put some work into this at one time. (not mine, no connection to the seller)
The notchback taillights look good.

I did not know that. As a fastback owner, I never would have looked into a conversion.

I really like the notchie nose and tail lights on the fastback, it "fits".

Looking at the PISA gallery - I would swear this is the same car. Same aftermarket fastback windows, looks like the same text on the door panels (I can't quite make it out), same hood vents, and the same color......

There is also the PPG Pace Car conversion for Fieros; It is a rear body fastback but has the Notchy taillights recessed into it- I always thought that looked really good.....

I think the latter one is one of the PPG cars. Not the same.

I believe the fastback conversion that's shown on FB may have been the one using the Pisa kit done back in the late 90's by Joe Wynman of NJ IIRC, it's a bit of work but it looks good. IIRC,as well as using the tail lights, it uses the notchback air grills as well.

Ironically, there was a fiberglass kit recently sold in the Mall that converted a GT rear end to look similar to the PPG car. I cannot find the link but it had the spoiler and side pieces. I should have snagged it.

Edit....found it. It was made by Paul Angel (Tha Driver)

I do like the look of this, and while I can't say if I prefer the look of this vs. the GM fastback (I'm on the fence), I do appreciate this one because it is far more exclusive.

Also I would prefer this to a GM fastback to not be stuck with the $$$ taillights. The taillight conversion kit mentioned above would also accomplish this goal, and result in a unique look.

While it's the same car as in that thread, I wonder if it's still the same seller.
