Looks like one of those ridiculously over the top Japanese drift cars... I kinda like it!
The mixture of curves and straight lines on the side seems a little gaudy, but it's not finished so it's far too early to tell. I'm sure you've got some creative ideas that'll make the whole thing really pop.

I especially like the design from the A-pillar back. The front is not my favorite (but obviously it doesn't have to be) due to the headlights (boring compared to the rest of the design) and the hood (the scoop makes it look like a front-engine car - WHY?). The bumper looks great and the side lines match up very well.
Love the direction you went with. My vote goes NO CHOP! The proportions look great now and I would be a shame to lose the T tops.
I agree, Chopped Fieros do not sell good at all. Some like them but most do not like them. I would rake the door to give it a smaller side window affect.

I don't know if you can say that for all choptops, Archies choptops seem to sell in a timely fashion when they go up for sale. But most Archie choptop owners tend to keep them. That being said I think this car should keep the stock top for the T-tops.

I'm not really sure you can say Fieros sell good at all, even. They sell ok to other "Fiero people" but not necessarily to the general public, who are oft misinformed about their abilities of self immolation.
The only reason a chop would be harder to sell, is because someone looking to buy another Fiero is probably looking to make it their own, and having a chop means a lot more work to do if that person wants to change the roof or rear clip. And most of the chops seem to have a fair bit of other body work done already as well. Depending on what the shopper is looking for, it could just add up to more work than it would be to buy a stock Fiero and go from there. It all depends on what the shopper and buyer want. Even brand new SUVs haven't been selling well the past few years, despite the number of SUVs you might see on the roads.
sorry guys theres no updates have had no time or shop space to work on it. it sitting in storage for the moment i don't think i'll be getting to work on it till spring time where i can work on it outside just need to wait for warmer weather.

Came up an idea. Only thing that I thought looked a little weird was how the new headlights matched up with the front bumper. Here's what I thought of. What if you kept the stock bumper, but made it stubby. Something like this...
