I could swear I replied to this yesterday!

I have now made rear clear side markers for the bird

You can also see the new flush mounted fender vents in these pics! Now original, but not many have then flushed in and smoothed.

There's lots of custom touches, but those are the original ones that I dont think anyone else has.

So is Mickey Mouse sneaking up on you? I can see him hidden in the fender reflection...

I would be very afraid. He is a crazy little guy.

One thing I forgot to add... chaek the new intake! Custom made by www.trueleo.com ... Previously only made for the Fiero community... we talked them into expanding for the f-body 2.8, 3.1, and 3.4 guys! Mine is the first F-body version and has a few tricks that will not be on the production version! So totally original and custom!

Also added pics to my above post!

Very soon hopefully...just got it the other day! Have to get my Fiero running. Maybe next weekend... have to get the ford TB install figured out though. That is going to be the tricky part. Have to swap sides of the TV cable & throttle cable! Then we will dyno the car to see what gains we can get! Just ran my last dyno run a few weeks back when I installed the 3in exahsut system... gained 15hp and 18TQ from the 2.25 I had originally... all this is in prep for that turbo down the road!

I would say my ZR1 replica 17x9.5 / 17x11 on Rs... but that's been done a few times around here....

And my license plate is original... KNOCKR ... but I don't think that really count....

So I'm gonna go wik my full custom rollcage. You WILL NOT find one that is a tighter fit that retains the interior... for the most part

Transmission: t5, soon to be t56

well, other then the 98 z28 seats, i belive about the only original stuff about my car is the fact that ive painted it, swapped motors (305tbi-350tpi), transmissions(t-5-t56), driveshafts(now aluminum), and rear ends(nonposi drum-posi disk) by myself, without air/power tools (with the acception of the spray gun), and all before my 21st birthday.
oh, its also 100% stock looking outside and other then the seats, stock inside
