Nice!

I think I would like them better if they were not recessed so far.

BTW - is that wing made out of wood?

i like it. the panel as a whole needs a contour to it though to flow better with car. all of the curves from the decklid and rear stop and the panel is flat. curve that taillight panel and you've got a winner! i'd buy one!

The wing is actually made from aircraft aluminum. It came off of an Oldsmobile Trans Am race car.
Gary is still working on them to get them to look right.

Im loving the recess, but I also think it needs some curvature and the vent doesn't seem to fit IMHO.

Tail lights look fine to me, looks just like my vette from the rear, there just as deep.

* JMO.....lose the wing, or let some Honda guy steal it

It was actually made from an '84 Vette rear bumper cover. As for the wing...he's not gonna take it off.

look a bit too recessed to me.

recesses are stock corvette

Just because the stock C4 Corvette lights are recessed that amount doesn't mean that it looks best on a Fiero that way. I think it would look better if the lights were closer to being flush.

To each his own...i did not make the lights....flush mount style can be purchased from several other places.
Gary didn't like the flush mount style, so he created this version from a 1984 Vette rear facia cover and
lenses from carolinajoe. He's still working on it to make it better. He said he is probably going to fill in the
vent in the middle, but just hasn't had the time to do it yet. As we all know, projects take the back burner
when other more pressing things interferes with life.....

blending it into the surrounding panels would make it perfect

I really like what you are doing. I'd be interested in rear lights like those. Not to be a pain, but where are the reverse lights?

i used an 80-82 vette-like-panel. i took the red reflectors out of the rear fascia and put in reverse lights there. i got them at autozone and they fit perfectly. if you didn't know the car, you would'nt know they didn't belong there.

No sweat... mark me down as interested. But it could use some tweaking.

If the price is right your buddy should be able to sell a few of them here.

i'd like it if the inner lights had a back up light in the center (like white inner). Also, a little bit of curvature would be a +

nice job

This is the rear of my 88 Formula/GT with C4 Tail lights and backup lights from a Pontiac Sunfire mounted were the reflectors use to be.




I also modded a set of spoilers from a Camero and installed a LED Brake light bar in it

Great job Joe,

Does the Sunfire backup lights mount in the original spot or was there some modification to make?
Can you please post some more pics of those with details?

Thanks.

You have to cut the light mounts out of the Sunfire and then cut and match the hole in the GT bumper. I found it to be one of the easier mods to do

This is the Sunfire mount fitted to the bumper as a test fit




This is after I had mounted it with Napa Flexible bumper repair epoxy



The wires for the backup lights were long enough after I had cut the old bulb holders of and spliced the Sunfire bulb holders on.

Like I said this was one easiest mods that I have done to my Fiero

Plus for you Joe, I wanted to do this mod for a while now however I would rather not deal with body work (and paint) so I'll keep looking for a combo backup light that fits the stock location.

Thanks again

You might wanna try the Dodge Stealth combo back up light, but with a half way through the stock place..you still have to do a little cutting and sanding.
