Just gauging interest. I've had this nose project on the back burner for a while, but I can move it up if there is a good amount of interest. It's a 512tr kitcar nose that I may be converting into a Fiero replacement. Unlike my Fi355 nose this will probably be a one piece design to simplify the fabrication. Let me know if you are interested here, or by PM or email at: FieroInteriors@juno.com. Thanks.

That looks very nice!
I`m not in market right now for one but that`s a style I would use.
I know, I bet you get tired of hearing that.

S'cuse me while I compose myself. OMG that is gorgeous! Now I only have to (A) decide which of your's to buy, (B) allocate (find) the funds for purchase. I'm honestly not sure which of the two I would like better.

YES! Set a price, and I will forgo paying the power bill to put down a deposit (100% serious)... I'd need the light holes shaped for round lights (Hella 90MM), but we could work out a panel insert or something for them.

Looks beautiful, any pictures on a fiero?
Would love to have this, but it is probably out of my budget right now.

I hate to say I would buy one without seeing the finished product, but if it is just a finished version of what you started I will buy it. I like the 2 pc idea but if 1 pc brings the price down its a +

I like it can't wait to see your version as your teaser is just that it doesn't give enough detail to what it may look like.

Interested.
A couple of questions, though. What lights do you plan to use to fit this bumper? Also, is this bumper going to be shorter than the stock GT nose?

It'll be pretty much as you see it in the photos, just not as wide as the factory 512tr.
With optional grill

I've been searching for the cheapest lights with the right shape, so far it's 03-04 Ford Expedition fogs for $35ea. Turn signals likely will be Nissan Maxima; they're cheap also. Although I'm starting to like those LED strips. I'm wondering if those can be used as parking/blinkers.
I can't remember if the overall length is longer or shorter than the GT nose, but it'll be as long as my Fi355 nose.

Here I modified one of my earlier sketches to show a side view of what the fi512 nose would look like on a stock wheelbase notchback. It'll be about 2.5" shorter in length, and 4.5" narrower in width than the Ferrari 512tr. Anyone interested in this being made please let me know. Thanks.
Original.

I would buy THAT bumper in a hearbeat.
Talk about incredible, is that a photoshop? I wish we had more aftermarket options of front bumpers in the fiero world, IMO thats the only department we lack in.

The foglight is from the Ford Expedition, very affordable on Ebay. It measures about 9"x3"x7"d . Installed angle seems to be around 15-20 degrees.

The Light pockets will be about 8.5" wide, so you could probably fit in two 90mm Hellas side by side.
