Looks good - I've always been curious to see how a set of the sunbird vents would look molded in.

Did you use anything special to mold them in? I spy a can of bondo fiberglass jelly & a tube of 3M Putty (possibly "Pirahana Putty"....

I'm normally not a fan of those types of vents on Fieros, but those look pretty good. Must be because they don't look tacked on like most. Good work.

What do you plan for the decklid?

I used 3M SMC adhesive to glue it to the under structure, the fiberglass jelly to fill the gap and putty to finish. It was alot of hand sanding.
I am sorry but the deck lid is going to have to be a secret for now. There is nothing like the one I have now( I have a small video but no way to show it) The one I am working now I have been working on in my mind for about a year now and one day on lack of sleep it came to me, I just have to make sure that it works before I give it up. It will be very original. I hope to have it done by August for the show in Osage Beach.
