Finally got around to finishing my exhaust system. While I had the welder out I also welded a new dogbone bracket, and my front bumpstops. Oh, and I replaced my passenger side axle, whew, busy weekend. Here is what it sounds like now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L654KBdOQv4
Thank you for the pictures! Although I am using a "stock" fiberglass bumper, I'm using the same side scoops. I now regret going with a stock front bumper, although that may change eventually to the same ferrari style now that I've seen it. I'm hoping to see a few more tonight at a car show, where I know there are going to be several Fiero guys present.
I stole your photos and sent them to a couple guys in my local club to do some photoshop work. I'm getting close to paint, so I want to be sure before it goes in how I want it to come out. FYI, your car looks fantastic. This is almost exactly what I'm doing, although I'm going to color match the mirrors and go with a different color scheme.
I definitely would like to see this with the Kahines style lights, camaro spoiler and hatch. (Talk to Jimmy S - he makes a hatch now!) It looks as though you're a bit ahead of my progress. . . hopefully I'll catch up in a few weeks!

Thanks man. I am doing the kahines light panel this winter. Along with the 90mm headlights. I think I am going to make my own rear lip too. I am going to have my wheels in a few weeks as well. Feel free to use any photos you want. Let me know if you want some specific angles. I am going to take some pics when I get the new wheels. For now though I have to put in a new water pump cause I blew mine last night!
Car is filthy but I wanted to get some pics up of the new wheels & tires.
I went with: 215/45 on 17x7 +38mm Front 225/45 on 17x8 +35mm Rear I really like how the narrower front wheel tire combo and higher offset sort of excentuates the wider rear lip. Now I need to get an alignment. Oh, and replace my water pump... and mabey my fuel filter, it never ends!

Not sure yet. I've been working on getting it running good right now. The next thing I'll do is probably the taillights, then headlights. Then your chin, and a rear lip spoiler. Tint has got to go on sometime too. Then there's the interior still. Can you say money pit!
Wow! I really like what you have done with your car! Congrats!
But wait: 355 front, side scoops, lowered, no wing.... ah, now I know why I like this Fiero...

I just got back from a 4 day, 2000 KM road trip in my car. I made it with relativley little drama. I am going to post pics soon. There were 14 of us who all did the trip in different cars/bikes. What a blast! I averaged 30 MPG on the trip too, not bad considering I was in it pretty heavy on some sections.
Great looking car! That nose looks so much better done correctly. I have seen way too many with the line from the fender/hood being like a straight 30 degree angle to the top the bumper and it looks like the nose is sagging and too far from the hood seam. This version that follows the original lines of the Fiero front facia to the top of the bumper looks sooooo much better on a Fiero.
V.S. (sorry Fiero Warehouse... ) It actually dips further at the leading edge which stretches it out too far. And the hood angle does not lend itself to slanting down like that to be flushed with the bumper... it does not have the same curve or angle as a real 355 in the hood and fenders. Notice that the 355 does not dip down in the front.

Here are just a sample of the pics from the 2009 Border run. It is a 2000km cruise starting in Alberta, through Montana/Idaho/Washington and into British Columbia. This is the first year and I think it went pretty good. If anyone is interested in attending next year we are working on a website, but you can email borderrun2010@canada.com and we will get you all the info. This was most of the group there were some mechanical issues that held some people back and others picked up the trip part way through. Had some mechanical issues my self, but the little Fiero soldiered on and made the whole trip, a new axel is in desperate need though. My Dad's new car. This was his first time driving it! 2000km and no issues at all, not bad for a '69 Me and my wife. Dear strike at 120 km/h!!!!!! ????? Second bike down. Gravel patch I'll put up some more later. That's all that was on this memory card. Over all I was really impressed with my little Fiero. My car had blast chewing up the twisties!

Yes, the bumper is two seperate peices bolted together. Then mounted on the car. Look up username Amida, he makes it. And I can attest his quality is bar none.
