At the 20th show there was around 400 Fieros on display. Saw some incredible interiors, some awesome wheels, and some beautiful paint. But there were very few that had something unique and different.
Here's a few pictures of some of the things that I saw that were different than anyone else:

Front engine Fiero. One and only on the forum, right?

I've heard lots of ideas to do this, but I've never heard of anyone actually doing it. Side pipes!

This same car did something unique for the headlights too:

This next one is quite minimal, but still, never seen or heard of done before:

Griptape put on the door sills. This looked really sharp. The little things that count right?

Aside from having a crazy deep vent:

This car also had a unique MSD drag racing setup and a custom turbo.

Is this car going to be set up for some sort of racing or is your plan to finish it in street form ? What else is planned for it ?

I'll claim this one as mine. I'm not sure if it's the only front engined car on the forum, but it was the only one at the show!

Thanks for looking at it!!

Saddly, I was not there to see it in person but I think the deep hood looks good.

I thought the hood was pretty sweet, only problem is my girlfriend fell in when we were walking by. Gravitational pull or something I guess... hehe

My first thought on that canyon was Shelby Series One. I like it, but I would put something over it (think cowl induction style) to keep some crap out. Somebody might think it would be funny to drop their McDonald's cup in there if they see the huge hole.

that hood is how the GT40s is done, I like it other than you lose a lot of trunk and the spare.

Don't really care for the apearance of it and seems it is deeper than would actually be functional - but cheers for being unique - if everyone made fieros look the ay i liked em I'd get annoyed at not looking more original

It will be a street car but I plan to do a little racing.
Plans are more horsepower,more suspension mods and a badly needed paint job.

Mine will be slightly different for aerodynamic concerns and we may relocate the radiator a few inches. I can't believe this is the first time I've seen a hood like this, seems like somebody would have tried it someday, nice to see in reality what I saw in my head doesn't suck.

I think another innovative idea at the 20th you forgot to mention was on the red fastback in Kameo Kid's topic, it has an electric antennae on the drivers side rear fender.
