Does anyone know what taillights were used? I have seen the front of that car, and love it, never really the rear though.

Thanks, these are aftermarket lights for a 97-01 Honda Prelude. At that time the best choice for me, and the best fit, most other taillights were to high to fit in a Fiero to start with..
In my head it looked a lot different from the Fastback, I guess. Kind of like the Audi R8 tail. (the top part to the bottom of the taillights. below the R8 is obviously all different.)
Yeah, I see "rear fliperism" in the back or are my eyes deceiving me?

I figured since I attached the front fenders to the hood, I might as well make the back match. Same goes for the lights. After installing Hella 90mm headlamps, I decided to go for round tail lamps. The round tail lamps wouldn't fit in the stock tail lamp housings (not even close!), so I decided to delete the stock tail lamps altogether. And in the process, the rear end of my car got 20 lb lighter.
Sorry guys it is a photo chop but could be done pretty easy maybe? If you put in a search in the archives you can find what I started with. I to would like to have one :-)
I want to get a flush mount headlight kit... Take the headlight mechanical junk and build it all into my decklid to pop up for reverse lights and or blind effin tailgaters at the flip of a switch!
all the ferarri inspired ones look good. the prelude tail lights are nice as well. the first picture on the first page, anyone have a link to the build thread or is that just a f 430 tail light kit?? keep em coming

Yes, those are made from hacked-up Fiero parts. Although, I had to make the tail lamp section from scratch... for obvious reasons. You can read the details (plus lotsa photos) in my build thread.
[edit to add] I should also mention that I did not hack up perfectly good Fiero parts for my custom bodywork projects. All the parts I used were damaged. It's funny, because I actually had to fix the damaged parts as I was modifying them. It was a little more work, but at least my conscience is clear.

Wow... I never thought designs I made over 2 and a half years ago would still be lingering in people's minds.
I look back on all the time I wasted and all the half-baked ideas I had for my formula and wished I had brought those to a reality. At least now I know that car is in better hands and I have an 86' to start a blank canvas with.
Within the next 6 months, once my house is complete and we close on it; I hope to begin design work on a fiero that will blow minds, visually and perhaps on the track. I may pop in from time to time and throw some new stuff in the ring.
