I would like to have parts only when I need them and piece by piece.... I have special things that I do to my parts.....
The price would need to be a little lower then the 3,500 for the whole kit.... some of us only want some pieces to make our own custom cars.... I also own two Fieros and both are notch backs.... so when they come out I will be more interested then....


Let us know

Download Pennocks Image Poster (PIP) and you can post the pictures you want. There's a download link for PIP at the bottom of this page.

Thanks again. Next comes the lambo-door conversion, front bumper, and rear. Still working out he final details, The pics need to be updated a bit. but thats soon. It is also missing all the black molding that would go around the car. (Part of the details.)

The finish Date is by the end on the summer at latest, but hopefully early to mid July.
The actual kit is 4 inches wider than existing body panels where the rear quarter panel is, that whole car has wider fenders etc. I'll post some more hopefully. I still can figure this PIP thing yet.
The kit still doesn't look good because its missing all the little things. (black molding etc.)

Leave them off ! I think many here love the "shaved" or "smoothed out" look better than the black molding

I'm just scared it'll look too clean with few details. This is my problem, I want to keep the stock fiero lines and notable distinguishing marks, but not all, or too much of them so what do I keep and what gets tossed? The cool thing is If you look on the actual car pics you can't see the door handle. On the underside of the new part of the door there is a large indent that goes up and surrounds the door handle which give it enough room to pull on the handle and open the door. So with that I am iliminating the need to more the door mechanisms , and giving it the shaved door handle look at the same time.

The "smoothed" fieros I have seen do have a small "hump" where the body lines were / are. I will look for a shot of one...


EDITED:
Here ya go!


By the way... I am NOT telling ya how to make your stuff. just a thought from me! maybe the generation II version

I know you are not and I want to thank you for the advice and ideas etc. They will surely help.
We will test fit it with and without them (moldings) and decide. I'll test them and post the both ways and see what kind of feedback I get. Thanks again.

Hey, cool. We can always use new products for our cars.
You weren't kidding when you said wide body. 4 inches! One thing I'm going to suggest: bring the fender lines down a bit from stock (can't really tell from the pics if you have or not). It seems just about everyone lowers their Fiero because of the gap between tire and fender.

You're right to make the kit more universal we will lower our car with coilovers. to get the look you are talking about. Good Idea though.

Alex ,
Thanks and keep comming with ideas.

Thank you NotAFieroAnyLonger, Thanks to all for feedback, but where is the pic of the hump on the body lines?
Can you guys post one so I can see what you mean?

"hump" = body seams ( the replacement of the black molding things)

Look at the middle of the door in the silver pic I posted

I kinda like that silver one. It's different! I wonder if the hump is necessary though ... ?

*most humps Steve has had in a while*

Yeah they can be removed. it is to keep the "bodylines" looking like a fiero.
Body work is in the eye of the beholder.( or the guy that is doing it ) do what makes YOU happy, and what YOU precieve as good looking it is ALL either fiberglass or bondo and CAN be redone if it turns out not the way intended
