IMO the square hood scoops don't match the rounded grille openings. Maybe try something more curvey?

How about putting the turn signals where the light strips are and making the grill open with hide-away headlights like the GTO?

What's next..A hood tach with a shift light..?

Its a little more round but just an Idea, the hood scoop may be a one-off

Hideaway headlights would require cutting the crash bar, etc. It would be something someone could do on their own but not something that could be produced in "kit" form.

The headlight doors are separate from the bumper. Not everyone will want those. We have to have a solution that everyone can use. We're still thinking about turn signal placement.

Just a thought... you should be mocking up the designs on a stock fiero, not a choptop, or other modified body. This could skew the look and feel.

The lights on the opening of the headlight... will that work, as I would think you would need to cut back a lot so as to make them visible, otherwise, they won't be visible straight on, unless you are looking from above.

i like it but think that the holes should be a little more rounded but not functional. the air should be allowed to flow up from the rad through the add on and out up by the window allowing for great air movement on the rad instead of forcing air down and causing the nose to want to rise at higher speeds. don't you think?
i love the fact that you guys are allowing us to be part of the planning and input our thoughts and ideas. also making sure that the finished product is more to the liking of a larger buyer group... very smart on your part!!!
keep up the great work!!!

I agree, it looks somewhat different on the White car on the first page, as that car has a stock top and it`s not lowered.
But maybe that would be more incentive for choptops and lowering components.

Maybe, but a bolt on nose is a lot easier than chopping the top

We are working off of a stock Formula parts car of mine. It is straight with no damage to the fenders or hood. We will level the car before we begin sculpting. It isn't chopped or anything. For a more "average" view. Look again at the black and gray car. It has the stock height roof.

I don't think the headlight doors will be a problem. I think the photoshop is very realistic. I may not modify the stock doors, I might make new ones.
