Fiero designer (Page 1/1)

Hey everyone. I’m still in the process of trying to decide what the end goal for my 85 gt and was wondering if anyone had any apps or anything that I can use to possibly design my own fiero and give it different looks to see what I like best. Thanks all!

Unfortunately the closest thing to a designer was from Andysautosport back in the day. It was a GT shown from the side and you could choose the color, window tint, wheels, wheel size, and choose different options to lower the car. Here's an old screen shot:

What is your main goal? Wider, different panels?

Edit....Big O has a similar webpage

I don't understand what there is to design. Aren't there much better and more reliable platforms with larger aftermarket stuff for this?
Fiero isn't exactly light weight and I am betting TONS of other platforms have arose since these `38 years ago.

I like the stock look. Least favorite being the bumper pad. 85GT was a really sharp upgrade. 88GT being the most classy in my eyes. 88 Formula pulling in the number 3 spot.


EDIT. Post a bunch of VERY insightful threads before Patrick gets here and accuses you of selling us HDMI antennas or aftermarket traction control modules.

Look at photographs and ask yourself if you have the patience and perseverance to achieve the look you desire i can tell you that by the time you finish you are older and think differently.

Building a custom car can be enjoyable and rewarding but you might also consider that you will be building on a budget platform. Say if you put another $15 K into the car; easy to do with custom paint bodywork and engine swap the final value will never equal that. Now if you build solely for your own enjoyment irrespective of final value. then I can see a project as you are suggesting. The other item is that custom fiberglass body parts for the Fiero are now getting hard to find as most of the sources are now out of business. Good luck on the build.

I somehow posted in a different thread.......Anyway, I have owned my 85 SE V6 since new- back around 2010 the paint started to disintegrate so I checked on painting it ($2000) so instead I went to junkyards and picked up a new roof and hood, and also an 88 GT rear clip and decklid...later I changed my front cap to an 87-88 base car nose. The only custom things externally are the scoops (Fiero Warehouse IMSA scoops) and the "B" pillars which I designed and made.



I plan on doing a custom taillight setup; Black out the cavity, then mount Trailer tail light strips (Will look like the old Pontiac taillights) and then cover the opening with hex-grillwork....

Thanks for fixing my stupid words. You can lose tons of hours of your life to it too. Remember Smooth GT? If it is therapeutic or enjoyable I get it, but time, price, value, etc are getting lower and lower with the Fiero.
