If you want a "warm" but modern interior, installing a 4th gen firebird interior may be the ticket. 3 tone as you described. It has been done, so there is a road map to follow, but it is not a real common swap, so your call would still be unique enough. Throw in the color and you would definately set it off. If you go with sparkle in the clear, maybea a pattern (flame?) on the nose. For an extra kick, the flake in the clear could change color from the fron of the flame to the tip. I would also suggest some chrome pieces in the engine compartment to go with the flash on the outside.
Just thinking aloud here..........
Again, welcome.

Stimpy it aint the leg per say. I'm just saying if the humping of the leg is it for you There is some more stuff that will really get you going. Your post brings to my mind Goofy saying "GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS I wanna love em hug em an kiss em!!"
Anyway I have not seen any proof yet that this is a chick hot enough to make a fiero look good.That cartoon ain't gonna cut it.As a matter of fact I'm still thinking this hottie coming soon attraction is a collaboration of minds.
Really other than good sentence structure and a nice demeanor I don't see any proof of a hottie here.
SHOW US YOUR T....I mean PICS.We are not asking for nude pics here.We should be able to distinguish between man/WOman even if you wear cloths.You can wear socks or leg warmers or even a hat.Just make it a small hat.

Welcome to the forum. It's nice to see some fresh faces in here with some new ideas. I was if not the first then the second on the forum to do the 4th gen firebird swap. It's getting easier all the time as others try it and perfect the technique.
IMO start with the interior. New carpet, leather seats, clean and or paint interior pieces, nice aftermarket stereo, steering wheel to match new seats, headliner ... should keep you busy for while. Technical difficulty not that high either, well exept the steering wheel. You might need some help there. Not tired yet? You got two trunks to customize.

From one fiero girl to another welcome to the fiero addiction
Currently I have an 84 notchback.... not much custom has been done to it as of yet. But I know what I will be doing with it.... I'm going in a different direction than most people do when modifying a fiero. Mine is going to be lifted, and I'm putting a diesel engine in Yeah I know.... I'm a freak
No pics at the moment though, my car is currently white and with all the snow we have it's kinda hard to spot

I have A highly modified 87 GT most of the forum member have not seen it.
I've seen it, back when it was white. It looked great back then, I'm impressed with all the changes you've made. That's what I get for not going to the Fiero Club meetings.

There's lots of reasons why I named my baby "Mistress" many years ago. Most of them would almost sound way to crazy for most people. In a nutshell, "She's, demanding/sexy/expensive to keep/always wants more/curvey/ and most of all love loves for me to ride her hard"!
Sadly, she must depart us in body (chassis) but not spirit. She will live on in many ways (cancer has taken her inside [old Ohio car] beyond help) But soon we will have one of the newer members of our Fiero stable playing with our Fiero friends again very soon!
PS Welcome to the forum and enjoy all the freindship/information and support Cliff in any way you can!!

I've decided that I want my ultimate Babe Fiero to be a combination of classic style but also unique in it's own right. The options that I've seen on the various pic and build threads are mouth-watering, I must admit, but I want to have a car that's definitely all-Fiero, but still a head-turner. Y'know what I mean?
There must be the "classic vs mods" debate that goes on about just how much to change a Fiero and still have it be considered a "Fiero" and not a kit. Of course, you want to maintain the essence of the car--the lines and look that made you fall in love with it in the first place--but you also want to jazz it up and accessorize to make it modern, cutting-edge and cool. I'd never really heard of or seen Fieros until I went to a custom car show in Carlise, PA a few years back and found out that they were the donor cars for alot of the lambo kits. Then I saw some really cool ones at the show and, well, fell in love.
I think some of the "improvements" that alot of people are making to their cars (engine swaps, interior swaps, body changes, etc.) are great. This helps to showcase the versatility of the car--how many other cars do you know of that can be changed in so many different ways, but yet still be ultimately and fundamentally so unique and cool in their own right? Admit it, your cars are a reflection of your personality and are soooo much fun too.
My Babe Fiero definitely is going to become a uniquely feminine, yet classy/funky/curvey/speedster with a slammin' system, killer paint job, 17" chrome rims (love the sample 5-star pic Bazooka) and three-color-coordinated interior and trunk!
(HarryFiero--don't worry, your Mistress' legacy will definitely live on! )

Got to come to the defense of Joe here. Talking to the girls at the show last year, he were not about to make him wear a shirt.
Tina
Tina don't say that, now his head is going to get bigger and he is never going to wear a shirt! And its winter, its hard enough to get him to wear shoes! him and those sandles....P.S. girls, get Joe alone and ask him why he hates to wear shoes and perfers sandles! If your single you what to ask!!!!!!
Originally posted by KissMySSFiero: I still think MissTress is a dude.
LOL...Why is that? Is that some kind of ploy to get me to post a pic? Well, let me put your mind at ease once and for all--No I am not a dude. Have never been a dude in a past life, fantasy or otherwise. I am and have always been 100% Babe-o-rama.
In fact, I plan on being at Carlisle in May (the 20-22, I think it is?). I've been before (like I mentioned). Hopefully I'll get to meet some of you in person. The forum is cool and I feel like part of the "Fiero family" at Pennock's already---I like it. I plan to be an active member and promise to share my progress with "The Hottie" Fiero from beginning to end--complete with lots of pics of course. My goal is to hopefully have my Fiero before Carlisle so I can travel there in it--or at the very least have pics of it and be ready to do some work on it.
Rest assured, KissMySSFiero, when I get my Fiero the first thing I'm gonna do is take a picture of me standing proudly beside my new Fiero baby and post it right here--scout's honor. LOL. Until then I'll keep posting my ideas and keep you up to date on the latest design elements to come........I know this is the internet and people like to pretend to be things they are not, but I promise I'm not one of them. Just allow me the opportunity to get a car first, then I'll post a pic. Deal?

Vonov--thanks for the quick pic. I was thinking about a fastback GT and I hadn't thought about a three-color exterior. I was thinking interior, but now you've got my devious little mind going....how about a three-color fuschia-family body color scheme? Maybe with stripes? (Tina will love the racing stripe idea. ) I'm also thinking of some artwork to set it all off....

Lol, I'm feeling a bit puny this week, but I'll see what I can come up with. In the meantime, if you (or anyone else) use a paint scheme I designed, I will consider it an honor. I enjoy doing it; the Fiero presents a unique challenge because of its lines; the notchback is particularly unusual because of its somewhat conflicting angles.
OMG that was even worse than my "lederhosen and aloha shirt"--and it's an actual photo!
