Could someone please help me and put the F355 front facia from the yellow car on my Choptop. I am not that good with Photoshop
Would like to find out how the front looks on my car. Have a front from the same place in the garage and some of you said that the car would look better with the original.
Thanks, regards SHARKMAN

No, that is not the same front. He got the one from PISA and mine is from Germany. The same as the yellow car so if someone are good with photoshop. Please help me to put the fron on my car.
I think there are a big differense in these to F355 front facia´s But his car is a bad as ride.
Have to say I like the stock fiero nose a lot better on that car. I don't care for the ferrari nose, anyone else? I don't understand why people like having a ferrari nose on their car. To each his own.

I think there are 2 types of modifiers, Ferrari-styled or otherwise:
1) Want a Ferrari but can't afford one 2) Like Ferrari styling and think it looks good on "their" Fiero
For my part, I'd like to think I'm 2). My "Ferrari-styling-inspired" front proudly carries a Fiero badge and there's no intention to hide it's true identity. On the contrary, I think it makes it more unique. I'm in the process of building my dream car...
This is no flame or knee-jerk reaction. I actually spent some time discussing with myself if I had a personality problem because I was driving something that looks like an expensive exotic but isn't. In the end decided that I'm sane :-)

The discussion you had with yourself was fruitful, do it more...cus you're right on the mark. I concur, our cars don't need an identity change. Just some slight body mods that bring out a bit of where the design was heading had it been given a chance to evolve... into real beauties like your's and Curly's etc. Your wingless yellow fiero is one of my favs. I wish I had it. I'm considering, since I need a paint job, going with that color. One of the few yellows I can't take my eyes off of. Your car is definitely not a ferrari WTB. Just a better looking front end (IMO) to compliment our GT lines. Sane, very sane!
ps Thanks for all the killer travel pics. We took a cruise through the Greek isles going to Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Israel etc. a couple of years ago. After seeing the places you two have traveled I'm feeling like a chicken in a coop. Its time to get out there again! Great car, great life. Thanks for sharing it with us.

I will get the front on the car this winter and after that we can have a vote here on the thread. F355 vs GT original front facia on my car
I personally would like the fieros' front end much more if they hadn't decided to taper it up. Its cute and it matches the rear up taper but it looks much more like a "true sports car" with a chin that follows the low line of the side ground affects all the way through the front bumper, like yellowstones'. So, be it a F355 type nose or like MinnGreen's added chin spoiler (his fieros' profile is excellent!), I'm all for a high quality nose job.
One vote for the F355 nose. But only if it FITS as well as Yellowstones.
Night!

To each his own and that is why we have a choice some like tall women some like short etc I happen to hate pointed nose Fieros and notchback which my car was an 85 pointed nose car so I went with a aero nose it looked like every one so I just wanted to be different that is why I changed to a Ferrari nose and a fastback and it keeps every one guessing as to the make .

Right on the mark Master Tuner,..while i am not a big fan of the ferrari nose, it basically comes down to what you like Sharkman. Go with your heart, cause in the end you have to be happy with it.
I must say Master Tuner yours is the first car with the Ferrari nose that made me take a second look. Good job. looking good.

If your car will look as nice as yellowstone's front... GO FOR IT!!!
Madcurls was my Inspiration so that is a good grade I think that everyone that knows me thinks I am a FIERO FREAK And that is OK. I love this car. And I am a proud ovner

Hey Sharkman, I talked to Jerry @ XS Custom today. I mentioned to him about some Fiero owners would like to buy the VDC kit but at a lower price. He said they could knock-off a couple hundred bucks. They are also in process of producing a hydrolic VDC kit for the Fiero. He already has the equipment. He just need to take some time for fabrication.
If you get the VDC you'll be the first in Europe!

Stage II I was just wondering if someone have the stage II hoodscoop installed and could show some pics of that. I am going to cut out for my stage II hoodscoop this winter but have not seen this on any car. And they are not on fiero shop web site. Will also install my stage II side scoops this winter.
Work in progress Before the first cut After cut Piece cut out from other side. Should I place this in front of the door? Like this but together with the rest. Like the second pic?
