Yellowstone, how did you fasten the mesh on the scoops and what kind of material did you use? Also, did you use the same kind of stuff for the nose opening?

I used fiberglass resin mixed with hardener. I'll take a pic of the backside in a few days for you as I'm going out of town.

Putting the antenna under the wheel well is a great idea. I think the first person I saw do it was Skitime and I believe that Fie Ro did it also. I'll be doing it also. Check out their posts for more ideas.

Wow...looking great. Those side scoops really go well with the bumper. It's a mod that is a subtle diffenernce but one that creates a big visual differnence to anybody who is used to fieros.

Changed your mind on the tail lights huh? If you put the scoops on the side, the five-spoke rims,a nd the "euro" nose on a car. The tail lights are only part of the natural progression of "the look"..

I´m the "body guy" ;-)

I ´ve used a two part epoxy commonly used for flexible and stiff bumper repairs.so it´s not really epoxy,it´s polyurethane.
I don´t know if this stuff is available outside europe,the manufacturer is PYRMO/DINOL/DINITROL/CARLOFON and the product is named SKIM FIX.
after the initial glueing I used fiberglass putty to ensure a smooth transition and good bond.
the parts fit good but not perfect.this is not a job for a first timer.

If you have further questions,I´ll be happy to help.

Whadeduck, that depends on your ability to attach the rockers. Mine are slightly warped so I'll be using the help of a fiberglass profi to help get them straight. Then then door skins have to be filled and sanded. The gluing of the rockers needs to be done with 2 part epoxy designed for plastics because the plastic is flexable. I'll be doing mine with the door skins removed.

LUD, thanks for the info on the manufacturer of the glue and the skim fix. Any chance you might be in the Frankfurt area any time soon?

@ whadeduck
yes,I recommed going to an experienced body shop,or atleast ask someone before you start.
Ít´s easier to sand panels flat when they are screwd to the door,everything before can be done without door.but be sure to align everything correctly.
