I was happy to see this beautiful project again this weekend at Archie's shop (as he was kind enough to host the NIFE club meeting there).
It's going to be a sweet looking car (especially with that Chrome S&P TPI intake!) - any chance you'll throw a layer of gray primer on the whole car? It'd sure be easier to photoshop it then
Personally, there is one small change that I'd like to see (and few of us discussed it and agreed). Have you given any thought to modifying the chin spoiler? The rest of the lines flow well, but the way the chin spoiler attaches - it leaves a bit of a "droopy bottom lip" appearance. We were thinking it'd be great to take a small section out and bring the leading edge up to it's more-parallel to the rest of the lower lines. Here's what we were thinking:
I'm sure it wouldn't be the easiest modification... but from the looks of the car - it wouldn't be difficult either
I agree the angle is off a bit.
Just that simple modification would make a huge positive difference in the look.
Good thing you had Archie make it detachable. That mod should not be that hard to pull off.

I don't have a wide body on my GT but I Love the way Staggered wheels/tires look on Fieros (midengine cars). I went with 225/35/18 front and 275/30/19 on the back.
Got to love them..

Troy said a few posts ago, that the only stock Fiero panels were the Doors. Actually every stock Fiero panel on the car has now been modified. Not only that but now every fiberglass panel from the IMSA kit has also been modified.

Hey, those look like stock headlight doors.

Thanks for posting the pics exoticse, and thanks for complement Archie. The rims are HRE 541's with 19 x 8.5 in front with a 2" lip and 20 x12 in rear with a 5" lip. Archie you should have the rims by Thursday and the tires by wednesday. Hopefully you will have all the parts for the next project by Thursday or Friday.....
