Answer located here: https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/050437-2.html

One is in IL and (4) are in CA. As you know, no Fiero is every considered......"finished."

I just talked to Trends. Hood vents are mounted! Now let's move onto the front fender flaring.

Sorry. No pics.

Just curious "WHEN" are the fiero vendors going to wake up and somebody splash a mold of these hood vents (Fiero redux):

and this widebody rear (Choptop #15) ???:

Curly has offered, but so far no takers !?? I know of a few people would buy these babies in a heartbeat !

New stuff from Madcurl.

#15 gets it's trademark curly vents !

Still to come front fender flares, custom chin spoiler, and ????

. . cool . .

FUNCTIONAL? Hehehe.

The Firebird hood vents are finished. I sent new pics to Exoticse he might have time to post. These are perhaps the best ones so far? There're nice and straight. In two weeks we move onto the front flaring. Stay tuned.

hehe.
This is the diagram I used:

Here ya go !

They are looking good.

Hmmm not so sure,...If anything to me they look higher.

I know for a fact they are wider on this car and on the Redux than they are on the silver chop top.

quote Originally posted by mr.tourismo: these are functional scoops right?

As you can see, the deck lid is functional as too, the front vents on #11 (no pics). The #15's front scoop have not been cut opened....yet. However, just like #11 they too will sport the openings.

Now that number #15 has settled in back home in California (after a multi-month florida stay) madcurl has picked up the pace towards getting her finished.

His latest,...Operation Beefcake !

Just like he did on the rear, curly adding an extra front fender flare to the front to bulk things up to cover the massive front rims.

Making some progress !

Flaring out the front also to meet the soon to be modified nose.

No time yet for the nose !

I am guessing it is just residue from the matierals they are working with.

The wheels are obviously covered up to protect them.

They are cloth wheel covers. That is a lot of paint build up on them. Lots of years of experiance and painting will do that to them Very nice madcurl

Thanks Tony for posting pics.

OPERATION BEEF CAKE:

It took two days to complete the task. The first day was prep and trying to decide as-to how the beef was to be sliced and glazed onto the fender rack? I used a aluminum 90 degree 2x2" four foot long piece from Ace Hardware for $8 bucks. One can of long Kitty hair ( forgot to take a pic of the product). Reuben (Trends) was working on the glazing as I hook-up the beef. Also, if you've noticed....less beef was used for the fronts vs the rear.

Hang-up: Once we figured out how to bolt and rivet the beef we then needed to make a bracket for the Corvette side marker lamps. Although the area isn't finished and shaped to the actual size it will no doubt be a great location with need bolt-ups to support the fender. The front side nose will sport the F430 vents. This will allow for two bolts to be placed between the two metal brackets once the lower portion is made.

I now have to design and aluminum piece to hook-up with the top fender brace and for venting too. As Tony noted, the front will sport the IRM Fiero Warehouse spoiler. That will no doubt be last on the list. Front 255's are now wrapped by the beefie flares.

Edit: I got four front fenders for $10 bucks a piece.

absolutely amazing. and just like your rear flares, this has gotten me thinking a lot. but i think i'll leave mine as be, considering it's already at the shop being prepped for paint.

keep the pics coming, i have a feeling this will be my dream fiero i show everybody that thinks "fiero's suck"

Operation Rhinoplasty !

Mock up of nose flaring, which will include side vent.

[This message has been edited by exoticse (edited 01-26-2006).]

OOooooook Madcurl is back in Bakersfield working on #15 !

Here is the continuation of the Rhinoplasty operation ! Take notes, some very good do it yourself photo-ops here !!

The prep.

Nose cuts made.

Side of nose bowed out.

The inner lip.

A new wide track (side) !

Another shot of things being bowed out.

Shot of the underside.

Rhinoplasty complete, too dark for pics however, hopefully more tommorow.

The result,..the bottom was moved out 2.5", while the top mimmicked the work on the
