It says it is compat with models through too 89'? Apart from that I think it looks awesome, and it is cool to have more of a selection.

Yeah but his E-bay feedback rating is not so hot in the last 6 months. A few too many negatives for me to be comfortable buying from.

Noooo, I don't believe so. That's not the name of the people I originally contacted and who Songman is working with as far as I know.

Ok This is Great news!!! I have had a discussion with the designers and will be meeting with them to have the kit which actually includes the 1) Esprit Front Bumper 2) SideSkirts 3) Louvers (somewhere over rear quarter windows on GT) and 5) Rear Spoiler. Their shop is 15 minutes from my brothers house and since I am in the area once a month I will take my car (can be searched in archives "FIERO UNVAILING" ) to test fit and inspect quality of product! We will take pictures for an over all view with white gel coat and also close ups to show lines and quality. We will also photo shop body kit and paint match it to show a "Finished Product"! I will be also discussing possibilities for a group buy to negotiate pricing and to get things into production. It would be ideal to begin a list of relevant questions to address when I meet with the designers. I will post when possible but am extremely busy and have no other information at this time. The one point I have at this time is that I will negotiate individual prices and package prices with single purchaser and group buys i.e) single bumper vs. group buy of multple bumpers i.e) single package purchase vs. group purchase of multiple packages= (1) Esprit Front Bumper 2) SideSkirts 3) Louvers (somewhere over rear quarter windows on GT) and 5) Rear Spoiler) I will be looking at market prices of similar 4/5 piece kits for the Fiero, MR2, Integra, etc. to gauge price points all suggestions will be helpful Thank you for your interest and patience. Multiple meetings set for week of Oct. 1-4. Thank you for your suggestions!

PISA corp locally has these parts for sale too. he was making deals with the fabricator/designer (who is from california) to get these sold solely through him... looks like someone beat him to the punch. Otherwise, I saw the front bumper and side skirts ON a fiero and it looks awesome!!!! the headlights are a little bit of an issue (much like the "long nose" F-355 kits) but otherwise, i loved the side skirts. Never saw the spoiler... Oh, and Pisa wanted a chunk of change for the kit, literally four times the asking price on ebay. this was tempting enough for me to purchase!!!!

I don't mind somone making money but when they gouge prices and try to be the only distributor that sucks. Competition is good for the fiero owner.

Greg/nightonfire will work something out well.

Hmm.. a Lotus front end on a Fiero probably does look pretty good. This could be interesting.

Greg don't forget we are 3.4 buddies now.

It looks promising, but i hate the scoop openings on the side by the bottom of each side of the bumper.
They look a little too ricey for me, i wonder if you could request to get those filled in. Overall, it looks like a decent replacement. I emailed them twice about pictures and both times they responded and said its a complete replacement, but didn't send any pictures lol. If you get any more pictures, i would love to see them.

guys, the side skirts are "sick"!!!! The fiberglass that PisaCorp had was awesome quality, and the detail's of the lotus front bumper are not exactly easy to mimic. I was quite pleased with the quality, fit and finish... I think this is a totally winner!

Ok so I met up and took some pics, toured the facility and It is HUGE! . Due to a family emergency they were not able to produce the other parts yet but will be working on that soi will see about coming back up when they are ready for a test fit. I did get pics of the bumper on my car and the fit is really Great! The quality is Great, it is all hand laid.
Ok now i will need some one to host some pictures so we can see what it looks like!

Oh ya regarding the comment about filling in the vent on the side of the bumper im not sure that would be possible unless we have at least 10 to purchasr a New design. This leads to the Designers telling me they are willing to build anything we want as long as we have a group by of atleast 10. I also saw a Ferrari F430 rrear bumper that he said he would make for the fieros, looked very nice like the one from germany! Ok will have some more pics coming soon!

The artistic look (with the B & W pics) is fine and all but is there any chance of getting any pics in color? Also, maybe some with the entire car?

Ya those are not intentionally "artistic" those were taken with a cel in really blinding light! I am going to get some other pics from the camera, and will work on a photoshop to give full color match and pic of whole car!

Can anyone tell me how big are the front wheels/tires on the car showing the bumper? I just need to see how much taller my car is up front than the one showed (19" front wheels). Just to see how much more clearance for the front bumper I have

Thanks,

i know on ebay the price is 400 with free shipping. But down a little in the auction add it says 50 for handling? So is it 450 shipped?

Also, what lights are used? It looks like you could use the stock turn signal lights, but it would be an awkward fit.
