Are there any pics of a non-chop fastback with the widebody front and rear? I went back through to page 9 and saw one with just the rear on it I think. I really like how this came out, seems like the perfect start for someone wanting a widebody but wants to add some 'custom flair' to it. Price is right, too
Edit: having stock wheels would be a help, too, as it's hard to get an idea for just how wide it is when the wheels match in width (like an optical illusion trying to compare to a stock fiero)

As you may know HRE custom made the wheels for Troy & Curley's cars using measurements I provided. But yet they refuse to provide those guys with the exact offsets data that are on the wheels they bought. I have taken very close measurements off of those wheels & I will provide that info to those that want it. HOWEVER, it has to be provided under the understanding that I'm not responsible if that data is used to buy wheels that for some reason don't fit correctly.
Thanks

The primer white fastback is also featured, but I'm not sure if someone has bought it, but the Mad-Arch kit (in this case) comes with the car.
Can't wait to see pics of an average person taking on this project. Archies pics are great, but make it look a little overwhelming for the little guy who has no real body experience.
DAMN.....I thought I'd be the first with a widebodied Fiero in Alberta........welcome to the forum!! Oh well......I guess this just means I'll have to work a little faster.
There is one thing I forgot to mention from our extended visit to Tire Rack. The wheels we ended up getting & the final tire size package for this car had to be built from the parts bin. In other words the correct inner & outer rings had to be selected out of inventory & as of now you can't order this combination online. The engineer we dealt with said that once the fitment has been proven out, they'll actually add another model to the "Fiero" online selection. You'll actually be able to order any OZ center section with the correct inner & outer plus tires just as if you're ordering for another model of the Fiero.
Very Cool.
Archie
Did the Tire Rack revise the site application for 19/20 or 18/20 combos on a Fiero?

For those who have not seen Chuck's car or the widebody kit in general, let me tell you we are talking about things of beauty !
It was amazing watching people watch chuck's car as it rolled down the roadways. Jaws were dropping, heads were snapping, and people were simply drooling.
The car really has an exotic look to it,...... very, very impressive, a must see in person.

Don't forget, Chuck's rollers where banging right down the chrome valve caps!

Here are some pic's of my work on my widebody. so far it is fairly easy to install. just to let you know Archie did A great job on the fitment.
thanks, Archie I love the kit and I will keep you posted
I so want one. I would also like to know how hard is it to install? Either way once I finish my degree Archie will more then likely be meeting my fiero for some work.
