Hey Crazy Dragn where did you get the front headlights? I don't like that style on C3 vettes but they look very cool on your Fiero.

The center caps look like the emblem you wanted IMSA GT to make for you. Did he come through?

If you decide you want them out of your way, keep in mind there is a starving school boy across town who needs tires!

Wasn't your paint a sprayed on Rustoleum job? ALL of that has to come off before a re-paint with automotive paint. You can't just "prep" it. It won't work chemically with other paint so it won't stick.

Yep, plan on sanding down and re-primer-ing it again. Got a Mustang 99-04 scoop coming in for the rear deck lid. Wanting to get a rear "camaro lip" spoiler for the back. Going to bondo all that in - primer it.
Then I'm going to have the engine out and the 3.8 in before painting it.
So, I'll have a grey car for a while, then it's on to Rosa Corsa RED!!

I now have slot and drilled rotors,



I have also painted the break caliper,



and here you can see whereI have low profile lowbeam headlight up. (the other will be able to come up when I get the triangle piece from fiero factory - I also have the rear of the car up on stilts so that why the front bumper is so close to the ground)

Mine look similar except for one thing, the FERARRI EMBLEM in the center, LOL
They actually have a different close-ness in the spoke pattern. Mine are faced at 38mm.

Very nice though

I purchased a "d" clip for both side (which you should get with the fast back conversion if the person was honest) and then you need a rear trunk seal. I'll post pics with in a day.

Here is a picture of my new Grandson!!
Cooper Gregory
Born: 2/27/13
Weight: 7lbs 9oz
Length: 21"
Has my broad sholders and big feet!
