Thanks, I was in traffic one day and looked over at a newer bug's rear bumper and saw those plate lights and thought they would be just what I needed. The bumpers are 100% fiberglass, not very flexable. I wish I could make urethane bumpers.
man i love the look of a freshly painted car... i wish mine still looked like that... Kansas City drivers ruined mine... good thing i'm back in good ole nebraska whew...
looks awesome man, you know your probably gonna have to make a mold of those two bumpers... or someone will pry hunt you down... lol
I am also quite interested in these front/rear bumpers. Looks even better than the dietmar front/rear and he's got a long list of people waiting 4 months to pay about $400 for each side.
I bet other fiero ownners would buy them as fast as you can make them. I know I'd want the front/rear fascias if you were to make another set, and I'm sure I'm not alone here.
I've been tempted to put an order in with Dietmar, but the tales of months of delays and ill-fitting parts, high prices, and customs delays has scared me off.
am I the only one here?

This month has had more rain than any month in Seattle history (and it's not done yet) Today was finally nice enough to mount the front bumper after work. I took these photos in the dark.

Since the front bumper is a 92-95 civic you should get a carbon fiber front under lip, it would look sweet, be one of the very few fieros with carbon fiber on them, and you can get one for like $300. Just my 2 cents. What color are the stripes? They look great

Thanks, A carbon fiber lip would be cool, but the lips sold for the Civic wouldn't work unless I did like FieRo and just used it to make a mold to make one that is longer on the sides. It would fit the front but not be long enough on the sides.
As for the Silver Color, the paint shop handed me a DuPont book and I picked the color from samples of like 60 different Silvers. Each color only had a part number not a name.

The Macco on 1st Ave in Burien is very good as far as Maccos go. I have a friend who has had a few cars painted there. I once went there to price a cheap paint job for my Chevy Truck. They said they have painted Fieros before. They gave me a tour, even showed me a 355 Spider Kit car they had inside which they were about to paint.
Huddleson's Auto Color World is expensive but they do quality work.
