Got all of the 13" Viper rotors installed (Special thanks to Eric @ KitCarChassis) Here are a few shots of how they look. Brakes looks small on the 20" wheels!

You could dress them up with a set of the caliper covers.  I wasn't a big fan of these when I first seen them and worried about the safety and durability with using them.  They must be ok, because there are tons of them listed for sale on eBay which would suggest that guys are buying and using them. 

I've seen the covers with Brembo on them but has anyone seen a set with the Lamborghini script that looks half way realistic?

Actually they don't look bad, I'm sure not up to OEM specs but I can always go back with bigger calipers later

Here is the link to a similar kit that I found

And if I want to go total poser I can just use these

Wont it look a little silly though with big 13" rotors and little Fiero callipers?

I'm actually using a new set of OEM Fiero calipers and good set of pads. I purchased an adapter kit to use the factory calipers. The brake pad contact width area is the same as the Viper only difference is the length contact patch is shorter (2 pistons calipers instead of 3)... The way I look at it is; the car isn't going to weigh much more (or even less) then the original donar car and the donar car stoped great! So more then anything it's for looks and maybe get a little more stopping power ;D

What calipers are you using with the 13" rotors?  Wilwoods? Brembos?

I just got a call from Eric Martin (Chassisbuiler) in Dallas. He has my 13" Dodge Viper cross drilled and slotted rotors done and redrilled with the rotor centeralignment rings done 8) Now I will have all new brakes by the weekend... Now if I just had some axles and radiators mounted, I could go for a test drive with the chassis this weekend :o Anybody have a good reference for getting custom axles made?

You can make the glove box fit but the console wont (for Fiero builds)

Will that console fit a Fiero tub with room for the seats?  I have the G28 center console and that one looks a lot wider in the back.  I would love to have the glove box if it were narrowed to fit my G28 console.  In fact I would narrow it if someone sells one.
Console seems to be coming along good! Special thanks to Digibeam (wish he would make an account!)

Is that a Sebring column in there? If so what steering wheel are you using?
