I have to admit after studying the pics a bit more is that one of the things I like about it is the nose-up attitude of the front end. It's kind of reminicent of the 60's gassers. I bet you don't plan to leave it that way, but you could always change it later! Plus it would save your sweet front end. Not sure how it would look in person, but it sure makes for some sweet photographs that way! I might have a similar rake on my Countach, but not that severe if I do.

front suspension will be lowered 1 inch once the body is complete as for the nose it is exactly as you see it in the fotos no camera trick here

well I made the mould and am waiting for it to totaly harden before I start cutting it up to form the rear bumper ext.here are the progress pics so far
this is the shell I started with
a generous coat of gell coat
then a good layer of glass and resin over the whole surface
they are not side markers they are side signals...
There's a difference?
Whatever those lights are called, it just seems redundant and too "busy" with them installed IMHO.
Bubba, I feel that being critical of anything you've done with this beautiful car is similar to someone criticizing the way Leonardo Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa’s smile. Having said that however, I offer my one small critique (for what it's worth) along with the greatest respect for your work.

your opinion is welcome and I enjoy hereing from everone didnot mean to offend you if I did I apoligise
here is todays progress first off I tapped the area That I wanted to make a mold of then covered the tapped area with a layer of fiberglass makin sure not to go outside ot the tape when semi hard removed the glass form this is now the piece that will be used to bolt to the car
Bubbajoexxx! You are the man!! This is one sweet conversion. Even though I only have a fiero chassis I sure like what you have done! Keep up the good work and boy do I wish you lived near me in cali. LOL LOL LOL
I am hoping to have the rear done in the next couple days and start on the new exhaust tips and finish the rear hatch .Then I will start the extras I have planed for the spoiler then final prep and off to the paint shop
This is perhaps one of the best add-ons on a Fiero I've seen so far.
I'm guessing you'll need to beef-up the rear wing. IMO it's being over shadowed by the diffuser. IMO I'd leave the corners but remove the middle and a whail-tail section in it's place or just beef it higher and fill-in the gaps.

the work I have seen so far on your cars is lookin real good
the rear wing on my car is getting some special treatment I plan on cuting the top out and setting 2 lift motors into it so that at speed the top will lift up to increse down force . It will raise the rear lip 3 inches into the air flow over it and add a wicker bill on the back edge
also the diffuser will extend under the car and attach to the lower section of the vette suspension frame to form a hot air duct out from the engine compartment

Thanks for the compliment. As for your newest idea of using the electric motor to raise the wing....that sound even better.
made the support rib and attaching point for the mesh and for attaching the barge board for the underside of the car that attaches to the rear diffuser
thanks to bobert he saved me some money with the use of an old hood skin to form the board
this will be trimmed flush to the spoiler and cut to match the wheel wells and attach to the rear suspesion mount to funelhot air out of the engine compartment and pull air out from under the car
