Hehe. That idea is currently...99% DOA. Thanks anyway for 4.9 photoshop help which aided in aborting that pipe dream. That's why it's better to have "input" from others vs. doing mods in total secret. You can stick to you're dreams but, sometimes a persons judgemnt can become cloudy, hehe. In the meantime, "Archie and the Crew" have moved onto the Eclispe window.

it's too bad the contours of both the spoiler and third brake light don't perfectly match. Are their any plans to make modifications to the original design (of the picture above)

The Caddy LED is going into the Camero bow-tie wingie. There is more of a flat surface to work with. Archie and I wanted to see were the "ends" are on the stock wing's lenght and if it's too long.

They are not finished yet but here are a few pics of the driving light relocation project.

I didn't care for the looks of this conversion when it first started. Now I have to say that this Fiero looks like its on steroids or somthing. It looks really, really good. I commend all they guys at Archie's. Well done.

Thank you. Archie, The Crew, & me are very happy that project: Arch Rival is nearing it's completion.
A quote from Alex (wide body guy): It's my golden rule, hehe.
"Anyone can make a copy of something, it may look good but it ever is the real car. Make something from your imagination, something unique, something nobody has, anything is possible and, ideas can be a reality."

Hehehe you weren't the only one,..there were quite a few people who had negative opinions of the car when it first began, but boy it sure has gotten quiet !
And they aren't done yet folks !

please don't take this the wrong way but looking at those pics a second time there are only two things i hope get changed IMO. where the top of the fender line meets the top or the door line... way too high. alot of newer cars are doing that and i think it looks like somebody was too lazy to make it streamlined. it's one of those things that would make or break a sale with me. the front tire needs to be thinner or the back needs to be thicker...right now it looks like the front has a larger circumference. again, not trying to be an a$$ just giving my opinion. the car overall looks great other then those two points.

Constructive comments are always welcomed. As for the rears, I was going to use the 325 but like a frighten little girl....I was too scarred. Maybe on the next batch I'll go 325/25/20? As for the fronts----I'm keeping the 255's. The same situation happened on #011. Once the 225 finally wore out, I opt'd for the 235 to even out with 275's.
Streamline? I've noticed it too. But that area is on the back burner. I may address it once the window and C-shaping of the C6 flipper is performed.

first off my photochopping skills aren't all that great and i don't have a decent side pic to use.... but this is what i was thinking on the fender "problem"... it's hard to see but it is different.
i'm starting to think those scoops on the front bumper remind me of something... but i can't put my finger on it...

4.9 is way ahead of you. He's doing a photoshop as [we] read.
