Norm: from the side view, it looks as if you front end is not quite as long as the original GT front end? Am I seeing (or perhaps more appropriately "not seeing" things) correctly?

Norm, could I suggest you use the MR2 marker lights, they look so much better than the OEM fiero ones.

R Runner: thanks for the pics! I find this nose interesting as well. It's very similar to something I designed on paper and was thinking of building. Being able to buy one ready to install would save me alot of work.

I'm especially interested in the pic that shows the radiator fan. I like the way the radiator exhaust gets dumped right onto the hood. I'm wondering if this requires any modification to the front of the spare tire & jack compartment?

[EDIT] The marker lights look alright to me. I'd want to add a "shovel scoop" between the big air intake and the radiator, though.

BlackTree....

Yes, it does require modification. Norm will be able to give all of the details. I won't steal his thunder.

Hello Fieromar, You have a good eye yes the front is slightly shorter to give less overhang and keeps the front from becoming too long. I suggest that you relocate the battery upfront for your understeer should that be a issue remember this clip makes more downforce for a better grip. The modifications reguired to the sheetmetal are not structual and the clip comes with a tem plete for the radiator vent so as you do not disturb the spare tire location. Oh Im sure you could use those Mr2 turnsignals might be some modification, but its fiberglass so get your saw. I tried to keep as much of the orginal lines of the fiero and keep the styling so thats why I reused those lights plus they are there which keeps the cost down. Great questions, thanks Norm
