Only the GTs i think had side skirts but what sort of side skirts look good ?
I have seen fieros with what appears to be BMW skirts giving car a lower stance.
Do you have pics of side skirts on fieros? Have u fitted them?
What have u chopped up to make them?
I am looking at after market something with some more shape to them.
What u got ? what u thinking? What u found?
Pics Please!

This is the car i was thinking when i thought of BMW skirts.
The blue car looks ok too.
There is a green fiero i have seen it is a GT with chin spoilers i noticed it has a different set of ground effects from the photo to the drawing of his car in his sig (a mean green machine)

Although they're not permanently mounted or finished yet, these are the ones Fiero1Fan sells, and the side scoops. The moldings are left over stage II pieces.

Come on there are more side skirts on market. I understand Deitmar isnt ready to sell.
What else is out there. I think supra skirts would look good are they long enough?
Any Aussie considered cutting down commodore ones?

Yup... that'd be me

Here's a few links for you! (there are a couple of "arguments" in one of these... just ignore 'em)

https://www.fiero.nl/forum/A...040710-1-038178.html

https://www.fiero.nl/forum/A...031229-1-031215.html

https://www.fiero.nl/forum/A...031229-1-033274.html

And Some good pics here: https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/063590.html

...I'm still working on getting these produced (the project kind of fell by the wayside). I have the first "production" part from the passenger side mold - I just need to do some test fitting to see how to best mount it - then get the first "production" part from the driver's side and do the same!

Looking for Fiero posters?

Here is what I used. I bought a battle style front and rear bumpers and side skirts for a mid 90s Eclipse. They were longer than a fiero, so I needed to cut out the middle and glass them back together. This is the only pic I could find in the forum, so please excuse the wing on the roof, it was a joke....lol. I slipped them over the GT side skirts so they would have the original bolt on areas.

I'm partial to the kamei kit. Someone needs to reproduce this.



Still looks like a fiero but it gives it a more agressive look.

I think the notchbacks have soooooo much potential if someone were to come up with an aggressive ground fx, chin spoiler, and rear diffuser package.

So many more notchies out there i am shocked no one has taken on the task !

Hey FIEROPHREK.....if that is a Kamei kit, isn't it a kit already??
Or am I missing something. Is that a one-off custom?
Sure looks hot though!!

The kamei kit is a kit but I think its out of production/ no one stocks it. I picked up some components from ebay and from a forum member but haven't got the whole kit. I have the ground effects for the door and all the front and rear fascia pieces. The kit also had a rear wing and some windsplitters for the front hood. I don't have the spoiler or the splitters but even if i did i wouldn't install them. The black car in the pic i posted earlier doesn't have the kits spoiler or splitters either. I'd like to have some molds pulled from my parts, but my fiberglassing skills need improving. I haven't seen any other pics of this car either.

This looks very good. Reminds me of a friend's car. BTW, what is that emblem on the lower quarter? The car I'm speaking of has a similar emblem.

Are you going to add front/rear lips to match up a little bit better? Looking good so far though. Keep it up.
