This was going to be a surprise for the meeting. However seeing as my car won't be at the meeting tomorrow. (A huge thank you to JohnJohn for waiting with Lisa and I for the tow truck till almost 1am) There will be a thread in the Tech section about the car.

 The first 3 pics are of what it actually looks like at the moment.  The last 3 was a friend in Seattle that did some photoshop for me.

Well, that will extract all that HOT AIR, but it looks to much like a
"FUNNY CAR" (lower it some), mind you with 4.9 it goes like one!

I personally don't think it looks good at all but I'm more of a subtle modifier I suppose. I think perhaps it comes up a bit too high and just plain gets in the way of driving which can be dangerous in certain situations.

Good luck on the mod though, looking forward to seeing the build!

I am going to glass it in and paint it black.  I may shorten it a bit when I glass it in, I have really not made that decision yet.

maybe put some guages under it so you don't have to look down at the guages

as the average human male life span is around 72 and I am now 36 can I officially consider my fiero as my midlife crisis car?

LOL, I just searched for this thread to copy the pics over to the other photo shop thread and the 87 thread.
