well, any notchback can and does look good. Got photoshop? You can try out whatever you want and see how you like it. Aol hometown wrecks the quality on any picture.
Your car can go from this,

To this,

Well, actually, yours looks hot, just the stock notchbacks irk me a little. The basic design of a notchback seems a little awkward, especially with the pointy noise.

It must be me....but I love my little 88' notch back.

I can remember cruising car lots when the 84's first came out, hoping that one day just maybe.....
Maybe its nostalgia, even though I like the looks of the GT's to me a red notchback IS the quintessential Fiero.
What I wish for now is a notchback that handles like a GT and runs like a Caddie Northstar, the car Pontiac should have built(wink, wink)

I have an 85GT. I like the Fastback better, and have been looking for a clip. My real problem is with the small tail lights. I don't mind the notchback with the fastback tailights (aka purple pavement eater). And the blindspot from the notchback part is annoying.

I could do without the bigger "blind spot" the notchbacks have; however, I just did a survey, and the results are as follows:

"3 out of 4 Fieros surveyed (i.e. - mine ) are notchbacks!"
...so I must like something about them!

BTW, FieroX, thanks for posting the rendering of the "gusseted notchback," (or whatever it's called). I have wondered for a long time what that sort of treatment would look like on a Fiero. Now I know. Nice job!

Interesting.. some of you dislike one of the styles, I thought it was natural to love'em both cuz I sure as hell do!

the notchback everyone knows its a fiero and everyone thinks its a 4 banger..

the fastback on the other hand you get these looks like

next one I buy will be a fastback V8/N* and my formula will have a built 3.4
