At the risk of receiving negative ratings, I don't care for the retro front ends at all. It looks totally out of place.
I admire the hard work being put into the project(s) though.
To each there own I am a bit retro maybe ? I want to keep my bumper pads and put a GT conversion on the back but I am here to do what ever Ideas that you all can think of with the Fiero so let me know what ideas you have and I will give it a go

I was not completely opposite but mostly. I was seeing all of the other front bumpers that were inspired by Ferrari, etc. and I thought THEY looked out of place. I was looking for something to just be different but still look Pontiac. I like to see what kind of mods people do to their cars but too many of them look "over done". Either they don't work with the overall theme of the car or are too under or over stated to fit the car well. Many times they are good ideas but not executed well so they look cheap. A perfect example of this trend is the crazy multi-level rear wings and the over-aggressive front bumpers that are so popular on imports. Those individual pieces don't look bad, it's that they stick out like a sore thumb on cars that weren't modified all over.
This GTO bumper is something that is subtle enough to look like a factory option yet different enough to get noticed immediately. It works with the rest of the car being completely original or it can be the start of a complete custom. That's why I like it so much. Anyone can add this bumper only and never have to add one other thing and have a good looking car with a little twist. That is the whole concept I'm shooting for.
Do you think you could put these on a lowered black SE, a side view and an angle view:
OK I did the SE and the lowering part I could not find a good side shot of a black SE I will do my best to make this one black but thought it looked good with red too will edit when I get it black end
Yes cool! Yes, better on the red car. The black needs some gold somewhere to tie it together. Belt line would prolly be too much but maybe a gold FORMULA sticker or similar?

Found a great picture to recreate the game picture I have as a sig Edit to say how I like the shape of the spokes of the BBS wheels it is similar to the shape of the rear window
OK I was thinking to change the interior to the tan interior this is not a very good photo shop of it but do think the idea is better I did the SE gold I might put a Fiero gold sticker on the side but didn't think Formula would work for it looking SE

I think the tan interior and gold sticker look better.
I was wondering if you could stretch this pic 7 inches in the rear please? Out of curiousity how do you measure that?

I could not figure out how to add width to the border of the photo so it is chopped off a little as for the 7" stretch is close I find something in the picture I now the size of measure it in the program and use that for my guess what do you think of it?
What about stretching the wheel base but not the car. So there would be less bumper on the back. Kinda like the very first post and first image of this thread. The angle of the car make the rear look shorter if I explained that right.

Would look something like this with the last pic I did?
Although I think they look better on the red car, I'm not sure.
