Default Mini me?

Came across these on my daily run on the internet. The car's an 1987 Fiero GT.

Ah you found the correct tail lights for a C7. Actually I like how they work here, the rest of the body kit not so much.

Love those Fiero GTs. I'm more into stock, but that one seems nicely done. Anyway, if everyone had the same good taste we would all drive
corvettes (pick your year) and they wouldn't be so special!

I was thinking more along the lines of the 12 '71 Corvette ZR2 454 LS6s.

I like it. Whoever did it did a good job.

I saw a Fiero with a Ferrari 308 body kit on it. That was a nice one too, except it still had the Fiero steering wheel.

More than likely the ZR2 decal was meant as kind of a joke. Maybe it should have read "ZR 1/2".
