I have seen several Fieros with mirrors located under the rear deck facing the engine so the top of the engine is reflected off of it. What type of mirror is used that wont melt ? Are there any negitives putting the mirror under there?? Does anyone have any advise and maybe a few pictures?

They're polished stainless steel. You can order the stainless steel panels from Chris Berry in Illinois. He's a nice guy. I met him and his wife and the FOCOA show in Williamsburg in 2001. His email is CBTAZ1@aol.com or you can call him at 630-539-4012. They were $75 plus shipping although the price my have gone up.

It's stainless steel. Hopefully someone else will chime in with who it is that sells it.

OHHHH That makes sence. I do they attach it? I would guess that double sided sticky tape would dry out because of the heat? Is there another way?

I saw this in person when I went to Kickhill.

"Wow" is a MAJOR understatement.


Just beautiful!

That's why I said if it's possible but I think I'm gonna buy a 85-up decklid.

I did a write up a while back when I did this mod, it was here: https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum2/HTML/051255.html but the link doesn't seem to be good anymore. I guess it is here now: https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Archives/Archive-000001/HTML/20041015-2-051255.html
