My brother in law runs a machine shop that makes parts for Boeing. My father in law runs his flow jet which cut out my amp rack. The tail light bracket they cut with a huge stamping machine. I think I still have the drawing I made that they used, PM me if you want a copy
Wiring was simple. Because the notchback tail lights have the brake light shared with the turn signal I had to cut the grey wire on the brake light switch and run a new wire. The sequential turn signals have a flasher system built in so it makes them flash a little random because of two flashers, but it looks fine.

No, it will stay as-is. photoshop mods are free. Though I may have to do something different on the wife's car. We have a 3.4 DOHC engine, just need to find a nice fiero with a blown motor on craigslist for cheap.
Have you tried talking to some of the existing Fiero retailers about reproduction of these bumpers, like V8 Archie, or Pisa Fiero? They already do plenty of body kits, maybe contracting them out would be an option.
Also, I'm not sure if the people you made bumpers for backed out or not, but if they did, for either front or back, let me know... I've got funding for both, but I'm mostly in need of a rear bumper.
Finally, I have to be honest my friend, you have created one of the best notchback mods out there. Thank you for doing something for just us non-GT guys.

That car is beautiful, ergonamically well balanced, it sits corectly and sounds outstanding. I wish to get a ride in it someday. I just had to let you know...
Got a 217 on my first run but they did not have my car tied down well, so the chart had bounces in it.
Nice numbers, what does Lance have done to his speed 3? I have one and am split on building a Fiero or modding the speed. I think I would get more fun with a Fiero...the only time I use the speed is when the wife is with me and she doesnt let me have any fun. Only gonna get worse when our daughter is born. Atleast with a Fiero I'd probably be alone most of the time, and just give her the Speed 3.
That Speed3 was amazing. It only had a FMIC, and put down those numbers!
Look at #7....that was the sickest dyno ever. A completely bone stock Mercedes E55 AMG.....It was completely silent. All you read were the rollers spinning at 155MPH when he hit the speed governor. Looking at his gragh he still could have made more power. Talk about seriously under-rating their car! YIKES

So did you ever engaged on this project? If anyone has the skills to make it happen is you. Needless to say if you ever did made these flares your car will be to me one of the best looking Fiero ever! JG

Hmmm... Is that the same engine you got from me right before I moved?

If you've never seen this car in person, then please believe me when I say that those flares would NOT do it justice... As-is, it's currently one of those cars that you just can't help but stare at... Almost like it's seducing you (for lack of a better way to put it...). And if you have seen it in person, then you probably already know exactly what I'm talking about. Great job Steve! You gonna be at Daytona? -Paul
One of the best looking rear bumpers on the market.
The front too.
Terrific fab work. Really modernizes the look.

Hello Paul, I see in your thread you are keeping busy buying up Fieros to match the fleet you had here. I miss having a Fiero owning neighbor. Yeah the 3.4DOHC that you sold me (thank you) will go in our (I tell my wife it's her's) '87 Blue coupe. Trek to Daytona ? You know that would take me a week each way. Might try to make it to a Cali event someday.. Songman invited me to his Coast Run.
Nice numbers man, lots of torque : If you ever decide a you want a little more out of the 4.9, an RPM based progressive nitrous system, 75-100 shot, would give you an extra 100 HP without exceding the max torque you're already making (no extra stress on the drivetrain or fuel economy that way) Your curve would look more like this: Sweet, sweet ride none the less
This is the one I have http://www.jegs.com/i/NOS/741/15977/10002/-1 it's cheaper because it doesn't come with the handheld programmer, but a laptop works fine and you only have to program it once. Since you already know what your torque curve looks like you could set it at 0% at 3600 RPM and ramp up to 100% at 5200 with a 100 HP shot wet system. Heres a sniper system with a bottle that would match your car http://www.jegs.com/i/NOS/741/07006/10002/-1 Orange Bottle! Now you gotta do it.
WOW!!! I was sorta getting tired of my notchie untill I seen this thread. I have a new love for my car now. I will be making a close copy this summer I think. HUGE props for the custom work. Did you use a pink foam for the skirts for the mold?
So use the foam to make the form and cover it in bondo. Then cover with fiberglass and once fiberglass is set dig out the foam. Does that about cover the basic process?
I should be making some for sell but it will not be in the near future. I have to finish the side skirts - plugs, molds and parts. When I get that done I will have to do my interior - Mr.Mikes Seats and Door panels. When my car is complete I will have time to make more parts. I will keep posting my progress. I have a brother and a friend or two who may want to help, we'll see what happens.
still thinking of making some to sell.. I know its been a long time just asking.
I do not have the time or money to do fiberglassing in my driveway this summer. I have a 3.4 DOHC engine swap for my 87 Blue Coupe to do if I can find the time. I have (for the Coupe).a pair of bumpers that I will prep someday along with a set of side skirts. When they are ready for paint I will make molds or have some made by Precision Plastics.
bump for updates hows the car running made any changes?? and still, when ever you have those molds made let me know how much for the kit and ill start getting money together lol
