The Ferrari style nose for the Fiero , while decent looking really doesn't look like the genuine Ferrari 355 nose. The real nose is shorter, the Fieros much deeper.

my nose was taken off a real 355 it is not any shorter it just looks that way because of the top that mates the Fiero hood to the nose. the 355 hood is farther forward with a small transision strip. to fit the 355 nose to my car I had to cut 4" ot of the center and widen my fenders. it has taken a lot of work to fit it to my car. here are some pic's from when I first got it. D.
Whodeanie: I see what you mean when I compare the original 355 nose to the ones that go on the Fiero. The hood length and slope do play into the appearance. Yours is coming along very nicely and looks great. I also believe that the addition of the grill makes for a better appearance but thats just my opinion. .

The owner of this car did not want a replica, but a future Fiero design. A what could have the Fiero become if GM did not kill it. I have followed this build for many years and the craftsmanship is top notch. He passed away 4 weeks ago and his widow was trying to sell it at the show.
Man! that nose is beautiful. Where did you get that? Is it a complete nose?
HI all
Check out the link below.... When you get there look in the upper left corner for fiberglass parts link, then look for Chin spoiler for 84-86 coupe..... Also, the red fiero with this chin has been molded on..
I've been trying to think of something a little different. I have a bumperpad Fiero and I like the general shape of it, I just don't like the pad appearance. I've thought of filling in the recess around the pad to make them less obvious on the rear. On the front I'm considering cutting them out and putting some expanded metal behind them, making them look more like a air vent. I don't have photoshop, but it would be a mesh were the solid black is.
I'd have to relocate the front turn signal, I'm still trying to figure that out. I've been thinking maybe a long narrow LED strip just below what would become the new vent. Or I could maybe make it part of the rib in the molding above the vent. What do you all think?
Excuse the dust, I've been sanding on her.

If it were me, I'd hide the turn signal behind the mesh to keep the look clean.
COMMODORE_HSV_VE_REPLICA bumper no im not doing it i don't want my car to look like a HSV in Australia but i would do it if i lived in the states to be different.
And here's my PS representation of what the final product may look like. He is going forward with the production, BTW. I can't wait to get mine. (Credit for the original photo that I used goes to member Jrgicehc)
Just a few mild mods, removed center divider, added, extrator scoop and mounted lic plate lower on double hinged bracket -it will fold either way if I back or drive over a speed pump. With car lower and plate that low it was must-have. I hope to get the car painted this summer.
That looks pretty nice. Is that just the top part of a notchie front bumper and the bottom part of a GT front bumper? Thats what it looks like. Looks nice though. Anymore pics of this one? A forum members project?
100% Be original.
