If you've read my build thread, you'd know how much of a disaster that PISA front end was. I had to modify the thing, just to make it fit on my car! Only about 2/3 of the original fiberglass is in there. And soon, about half of that is going bye-bye. And for good reason. Trust me.
Besides, I really don't feel like building a new front end from scratch.

That would be a neat project for a bumper-pad nose. And if you add on the Fiero Warehouse air dam, you'll have something that looks a lot like the BMW M1 race car.

That's exactly what I was thinking!

Take the Honda civic bumper idea and flip it upside down, using the thing that's usually on the bottom fir the down, after alot if fabrication, customizing. And cuttig I think it could look like a mustang looking front bumper..
to
put headlights in the side parts of the civic bumper too, and use another bumper for the bottom part, or a custom air dam
Here's another idea....
Like ignorant prodigy's build on his bumper, He used an aero bumper for th top part and a civic bumper for the bottom.. He had to cut into the aero bumper in a way that made it look like a new camaro....
Only the one above the camaro pic, u said "pics" so I just wanted u to make sure i was only talking about the one above the pic of the camaro because appearently u didn't rly read it or u would have known. And yes the concept pic and the actual pic are the same idea.. I don't know why u r being stubborn about that, they both look similar and the main part I'm talking about it the top half of the camaro front bumper. The fiero pic that is above the pic of the camaro has a section cut out of it in the to half of the bumper that is 'similar' to the camaro's. Ignorant prodigy didn't have it in mind when he did it, I just pointed it out to him when I saw the pics, but if u intentionally ut that part out to give it the camaro front bumper style I think u could do it and make it look pretty good.
Sorry if I came off defensive, I just felt like u were disagreeing with me just to be stubborn

Not being stubborn, sorry to come off that way. I did read your posts (well as much as I could make out of them... not to knock your written English skills if you have a good reason to be lacking), and you didn't mention that you were specifically talking about the large fissure in his fascia reminding you of the upper half of a Camaro fascia, in which case that part of the Camaro concept photoshop and the real thing do look similar.
I think I see what you're getting at now, but to express your vision better you might want to PS or have someone PS (even a rough representation) of your idea onto a Fiero. It's hard to visualize.
Yeah Iv got soo many ideas that I can only visualize, and sometimes try to draw. I rly do need to get PS! Lol
Sorry for the writing skills lol. I'll try to be more descriptive next time. It's so easy for me to see it in my head, I just forget ppl can't read my mind lol
Ohh and think about my idea for the camaro style front bumper on a fiero with the IMSA rear fastback widebody, and a fender flare/lip on the front fenders (not the IMSA front fenders on). Pretty cool concept, huh?
For the mustang style front bumper idea idea go with fender flares on the back fenders, and fender lips on the front fenders, and side scoops with the tapered ground effect lines front fiero fiberglass
Ex.

Lol, thats pretty close to how I started with mine.. It took a lot of work to get a finished part though..
One lesson I learned after using the honda bumper is it has a round curve where the Fiero has a slight V like split from the middle of the bumper...concluded that these details do matter when you want to blend the bumper to the rest of the car..... btw proportions are important too
Some new custom work recently completed by a forum member.
Man, I love that Munson bumper. I think I'd like it a whole lot more with the original aero nose chin, though, how it was wider at the wheel well and angled in toward the nose. Just seems to flow better to me. Anyone care to photoshop it ?

Loving that. Good ol' recognizable Pontiac.
Madcurl, loving that aero nose on steroids. StAEROid nose... hah, anyway. Also, gotta say that Fie Ro's car is pure orgasm. I'm all about the aero bumper or anything that retains or references classic Pontiac panache, but that bumper is damn sexy.
Fie RO, I never noticed that before. You took quite a bit of length out of the front bumper. Interestingly it actually helped the proportions of the car.
Do you scrape the front end less now, with the decreased overhang, than a stock nose?
Looking real good!
