It's all up to personal preferance. If you like it, go for it. If you don't, don't.

Personally, I am not a fan of aftermarket body kits. Well, not one's like that.

OMG!!!! You've got to be out of you mind, do you really think that looks good!!??? Would you, being a Fiero Enthusiast, rape the beautiful body of your Fiero?? That front end you pictured looks like a damn Catfish sucking up river sludge!!!

Just joking with ya! What ever turns you on, it's your car.

If you like it... Then get it, BUT.... I think you need to ALSO do hood vent's for it to look good!!!!

I think you need to consider the whole package. One this car it looks good as a complete package. Will it look on a Fiero without the rest of the bodywork mods?
On the mr2 it looks nice, not so sure on a Fiero. That's just my opinion of course, each to their own.

I'd rather just get the MR2 rather than try to modify it for the fiero. Keep the GT nose... looks better than that "rice" nose would on the fiero.

Well if you dont get the rest of the kit itll look like crap (i think the whole kit looks like crap anyways but thats a personal preference) But i friend of mine has a very simlar nose to that on a early-mid 90's MR2 and he has JUST the nise, it looks very cheapy and out-of-place

In my opinion, that Shogun-styled kit is extremely played out. But as with everyone else, that's only my opinion. I live in california, and every 3rd eclipse and civic have that.

I'd like it with the outer scoops shaved off,and just contoured to meet the center opening.Looks like you'd need to add some filler to get the "bubble" that the Mr2 has going,so it'd fit ok.
Would look good in green.

That is one sweet looking MR2, but I don't know about that nose on a Fiero. And like another post said, to make it look right, you really need to get the entire body kit.

Ok to fit this it wont be much and it looks great! ,i made to custom steel braces to bolt it right from the bottom to the frame of the front of my fiero , the top and sides are an easy fit mostly a little stretching and about 20 bolt's including th botton and top where the hood meets the nose, it does not look bad on a trial fit but it will look good when painted and installed properly , if i sell my fiero i will try this convertion on a 87 fastback im awaiting , i will post pic's when it is done , the total cost is about $250 cdn "used nose" , the brakets i drilled and welded myself so that was free , actually the body lines don't look so bad when matched up to the fiero , the orignal wing with 5inch wingstands will make a nice touch.

I've been considering doing an Mr2 bumper on mine as well, that is if I end up not selling my Fiero. Here are a few of my choices.

This one's a little more extreme but I kinda like it.

I wish I could some how do the whole TRD widebody kit, but talk about alot of custom work to fit that on a Fiero. This is by far my favorite and my *dream kit*.


If your dong a front end conversion, good luck finding MR2 euro-clear corners for less than about $117, and that's the starting bid on ebay! I think I'll just do some DIY smoked stock turnsignals. The *Veilside* style kit at the top of the page uses less expensive 93+ Supra lights I believe. Anywho, good luck.
PS...mind sending me some of those custom brackets you said you whipped up??? Name your price$$$

I have a nose almost exactly like that that I am fitting to my 85 notch back. It is alot of work. If you are good in fiberglass, go for it. Mine is for a Honda accord. I had to narrow it by 6 inches to get the same width as the Fiero. I still have a long way to go. If you like, I can send you pics of what I have so far. Lit me know. E-mail me.

e-mail is fine , here's another pic very similar to the front end i may put on

I don't want to blend it in with any body filler , im going to make it so that it fit's exacley without haveing to bond the fenders or anything , i am alo buying a set of these off the the fiero shop ,

That should give the body more of a "far-out" look , if i do a fastback convertion i am also considering an aftermarket wing , but for now those are my plans along with my lime green paint job!

I like that kit on the mr2, and I LOVE those wheels But I just don't think that nose will match the rest of the fiero body :/ Personally I think the best thing you can do to the front of the fiero is cut out the center of your nose like sluppy (I think)
