Personally, the front end does not match the rest of the car. If you split it with a line, both ends look beautiful, but personally not meant for eachother. Loving the sunroof though.
Edit: after looking at the second batch of pictures, I would just change the rear bumper to something a bit flatter and lower to the ground. Does not appear to match the rest of the car in my eyes. Still a very beautiful car.
Edit #2: Any info on that wing?

I thought this was a finished project already, did not notice the crack in the front end. Good luck! You do some amazing work I expect it will be amazing when you are through.
I'd almost kill for a Norms Flipper if I didn't have my vents. I'm not a real fan of blue on Fiero's, but that first pic is enough to convert me. Are you going to be upgrading the lights to projectors? What's the info on the sunroof? I'd almost consider doing something like that to mine if the time, money and know-how ever decided to magically appear.
About the only thing I'm not hip on with this car is the doors. I'm not a fan of scissors on anything but a Lambo, and even then, it has to be a 'vert.

Nice, I saw the quote you posted and haven't had the chance to go much further than that. I'll finish reading it later when I have the chance to actually read it.

Can't agree more. I know is not finished but I have seen some others like that. That bottom line on the car must follow front to back. I see that mistake all the time. You drop one and then you need to drop the whole thing or it will look wrong. You won't find any exotic/factory with that mismatch. Those new wheels look great. How is that intercooler routed? Or is it a turbo+SC?

Guys just forget how the car looks now,...it will look nothing like the current vehicle.
Most of the exterior stuff is going bye, bye.
It will get a complete Redux.
BTW if you like the wheels wait till you see the rears !

That is a beautiful car. I think the color really works on it.
Personally I like the GT style better, but that is just me. There are some great looking Notchies out there and this is one. I also don't like the big mouth look, reminds me too much of the Camaro, but, once again, that is just my personal preference.
However, those headlight are great. That is the best headlight treatment I have ever seen on a Fiero. I don't really care that much for pop-up headlights, to me it's like putting out the speed breaks on an aircraft every time you turn on the lights (although my wife likes pop-ups and doesn't want me to change them).
I followed the link provided about but did not see anything in the thread about the headlight creation. Does anyone know if there is a thread about these headlights anywhere?

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the headlights came like that when you bought Norm's front end. His newer headlight design is different now. Look here

As of this time none of the parts will be for sale.
The headlights you were asking about are just the basic ones that come with the Norm's nose, they are getting changed.
If those headlight covers and buckets are still usable after you remove them I might be interested in buying them. Keep me in mind when you take them out.

Okay, so please let the cat out of the bag - did you buy this one Tony, or is there some other person out there that you are posting for. I remember following the thread when this was built, and really fell in love with the power plant. The flipper front has never been one of my favorites in the stock form. But the engine itself
