For sale at my local tire shop...

The nose really lets it down - no separate headlight covers from the louvers, but the proportions are pretty close and the rear 3/4 view is pretty convincing.

The fit and finish of the body was better than I would have thought, too. You can certainly pick apart the details, but I think the overall look is pretty good for a kit car - especially if you fixed the headlight area. And the interior... certainly it's much better than the trans-am based atrocities.

That would fool 99% of people off the street. Buy it, swap in a Northstar and a five speed and be my new hero.

Agree... Overall a good look but its so hard to make up for the 80s GM interior fail.

The whole front end is wrong, it doesn't look right, but it's cool otherwise. I wish a part of kit cars were an interior change, the Fiero interior ruins it for me.

A northstar/5-speed swap would be cool.

Well since we have the kit car critiquers here. I saw this last Friday night (1am) out in front of a bunch of bars:

Is it real?

Whoa, don't think I've seen a Fierro that nicely done, the proportions are always the hardest to get, along with the wheels, I think they covered both nicely...

If it is a kit out a of anything, it would have been a beetle; that's my guess anyways.

To the O.P. sorry for the tread jack.

Wow, that totally would've fooled me. Very convincing kit.

Though, I bet that nowadays, it'd actually be cheaper to buy a real 308 than tart up a Fiero to that level of detail.

If you like it, rock it. Maybe put in a different engine later if you feel so inclined. I'll bet it turns heads all over town.

The Cobra and this car is one of the better assembled cars. Of course, they are all out of my price range. This Porsche is a sweet car.

A Beck Spyder is on my list of cars after the Lotto win. Very cool.

I wanted a 308/318 kit for my 88 Fiero, but for the engine, I wish I could build a 4.0 Aurora with a flat crank to really make it sound right.
