I had forgotten about the 512 bumper...DARNIT ALL!!!! I just bought a Trueleo Intake....ghhrrrrrrr.
wanna trade? haha
guess I need to save up every penny this spring.
Amida - please shoot me a PM with price and details about the lights. also, shipping to Pewaukee, WI, 53072 for the 512 bumper, and the cost for a grill as well too bad you don't make the 355 bumpers anymore. they were much better than the other versions froma couple companies.
glad to see you're still at it though
huh ?? Where did you get the idea he was not making the 355 nose anymore ??
Wonder how this bumper would look on a 2 tone painted fiero? If it would look funny with the bottom part painted a different color to match the factory ground effects.

I would put the color change at the side molding line.
Ya the color change on the body side molding would look good, but that's not how my car will be painted. I see there is a body line about 5 inches up from the bottom of the nose, just wondering if I painted from there down black to match my the ground effects on my gt if it would look good or stupid.
Whats your eta on having another bumper ready if I want another one? I already got one from you that's still in the box but going to be mounted soon so I have the car ready for the Dells Run at the end of the month.

I'm missing something here, is there another car?
I think only the GT nose can get away with that two tone line since the molding goes all the way around the car.
The side scoops with the sloped molding is a good way to get around that.
I own 11 Fiero's. I am building one for my girlfriend now thats a 86 GT. I have no good gt front bumpers so I have to buy one anyways thats why I was thinking of doing another 512 bumper. Her car is going to be pink with lower section black.

I was undecided about getting one of these, but after seeing the pics of one on Bozzie`s car and seeing one in person in San Antonio and the quality and fit I was sold. I have mine ordered, can`t wait. Mike

Mike, I don't remember sending one to SanAntonio. Can you post a pic of it?

I didn`t get a pic of it. I don`t think the owner comes on Pennock`s but I`m pretty sure he got it from you. I know when I had brought up getting one from you he took me to his shop in SA and I saw it. I think he actually lives in Corpus, so it`s hard to say where it was shipped to. Mike

After a lot of thought, I have decided to go with the F512 nose on my black GT. I just placed my order today with Amida. Here is a picture of my 88 yellow t-tops GT, 4.9 conversion with Amida's F355 nose.
Finally getting my bumper test fit. I know its a little last minute, but I wanted it on for the dells since my stock bumper was killed buy a jack rabbit at 150mph.

I would love to see more photos of this thing on stock or stock-ish Fieros, it would be nice to see it form different angles on a car. It looks excellent.
Sorry it took so long for me to post. I did get the nose on my GT and it looks great, we did some cornering lights on the side too. I had the body shop take pictures but I do not have them all yet and the ones I have a low resolution. Here they are and a few I took at the car show the other day. It was the first time I ever won anything against cars that were not Fieros so it was cool. I won second in the open class, which surprised me, as there were many nice cars in my class that day.

Finally making some headway on mine... I know it looks rather crappy still, I've got a lot of work to do yet. I'm just happy to have the car all one color again. Fit is PERFECT, thanks again Rob!
I`m about to start fitting my front clip and was wondering if you can tap into the headlight wires to power the fog lights or is it better to have a separate circuit?

I ran an accessory lead from the fuse box through the grommet in the bulkhead under the corner of the windshield.
Here is a picture of my new F512 nose installed. I ordered with all the holes pre-drilled, and it fitted perfectly. However, it needed much more body work to prep it for paint. After all the expenses (nose, shipping, all extras like drilling holes, cutting openings for the lights, turn signals, foglamps, wiring, body work, paint, emblem, etc, etc) I think the final cost is close to $2K.

Damn that is looking really sharp man. I hope you think it was worth it because it looks great. Peace
jackcastro, what kind of bodywork did the nose need? Besides trimming up a little fiberglass on the edges and sanding down the mould marks the surface of mine looks nearly flawless.
