Does anyone know where I can get a hood scoop similar to Norms and how complicated would it be to add to the Fiero stock hood?

Here is the Norman hood. It has not been made for years but shows what can be done with a stock style hood.

They're a British company, but it looks the most like Norm's hood vent.

Humina humina! I found the perfect Fiero front end for me! You say this is no longer available?

There has been some discussion on here as to different ways of doing that look and if your fairly good with fiberglass work one way was to buy a stock scoop like a mopar 6-pack fiberglass hood
scoop from JC Whitney, turn it upside down and mould it into the hood. One big consideration is the bulkhead that is between the sparetire well and where the radiator goes because there is not much room, only a few inches and if you get a scoop too big you will have to modify that bulkhead.

Thanks fierogt3800 but the warberhood is not agressive and besides it's been about 4 weeks and I'm still waiting on my rocker panels from him .

hyperv6 Thats it! Thats what I'm looking for. I contacted Norm about a month ago if he would sell the hood scoop only (n/a) but he never mention he use to have a complete hood. That looks 100% more agressive (better) then the Warberhood. Any more pics?

larini74 thanks that what I'm looking for too.

TXGOOD Thanks for the info. I read on some of the Rice forums about turning the hood scoop up sidedown. Man but Normas would be great!

F-I-E-R-O I agree with you that hood is SUPER! I don't understand why some people install intake hoods scoops on there Fiero when you need to take the air out from under the hood.

Now I will need to bug Norm again. I like his complete front end but I wish it didn't have the headlights. I think those headlight just change the look of the Fiero way too much. I like the Venturi headlight style.

Hi all,

Check out this link: https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum2/HTML/065990.html

You can contact the person who built the vent to find out how he got it, cuz I think he may have made it, but not sure......

Just for clarification, you do understand that "Norm's" front clip & the "Norman" hood are 2 separate people/things? Norm (of Norm's fiberglass) produces the entire front clip that you posted. The Hood vent on HyperV6's car (I too love that car every time I see it) - was actually designed by John Norman (as in the owner of "Obsession") and was sold through FOCOA. HyperV6's is the only one I can recall seeing as of late... I'd still like to see a decent replica or replacement made for these

Here are some good pics from hyperv6: https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Archives/Archive-000002/HTML/20050119-1-044982.html
(it looks like the width of the vent is the same as the width of the area between the "raised" sections of the hood - and extends pretty much all the way to the back line of the hood...

Thanks for clearing up this is the Norman hood not Norm's

I only know of two other cars that I have seen with this hood. One was Norman car but the last time I saw it it was no on it anymore. Also a German Fiero owner in IL had one on a silver coupe with wire spoke wheels.

To clear up this hood in some areas. First the scoop is not cut into the hood. They took the under support from a stock hood and molded a whole new top on it. Only the under support was cut. So what you see on top only the headlighjt covers came from Pontiac.

Second, the scoop curves up but it is stock height back to the window. You have to keep it high up to clear the trunk.

Third, I had to take a rubber mallet to bent the front trunk wll lip back a little to clear the curve of the scoop. A few light taps is all it would take to restore it. It also still seal well.

And finally when I go this hood it was a real piece of junk. It is poorly molded and was not even square. But I was stupied and wanted it bad enough to make this work. It is still not right and in a week or two I have a guy who is going to fix all the flaws that I hate. The guy In IL had the same poorly made hood as I did and had a lot of problems making it right too.

I see no reason that someone could not copy this style as there really is not too much to it. The only mod I made was to french the over flow cap in to make it different.

I think the big difference beween mine and what others have made is they are all trying to modify a original hood vs making a new hood from a mold.

I guess I have stuck with this one because it is what I was looking for and none of the other really hit me. I also wanted something else that no one else had or that you saw often. When I bought this only Norman's car had one and it was gone before I put mine on.

You could just make your own like this with out buying a scoop. I just made cuts where I wanted and pushed the points down and glassed them into that postion.

I have this hood sitting waiting for paint. It's available from Pisa http://pisafierohq.com/ and is called a zr2 scoop.

No problem Just thought it was looking & sounding a bit confusing for those who weren't aware of that...

Of course, that's also why this style didn't catch on more - the size of the mold and the work required to make it nice put it out of the price range of most average Fiero owners... it's cheaper to cut a hole & glass another part in.

Even though I love my JL Extractor vent, I have often brainstormed about making a more-aggressive vent - something along the lines of the norman hood... I'll keep pondering it for now

Who knows, some day down the line I can make a mold off of mine and makes some changes to make it my own. I would like the hood with the ribbing removed and just make it smooth.

The biggest problem I have found while many claim to be good with working with fiberglass few are very great at it. Myself included!

If you can find a good glass man hang on to him. Most seem to be into boats or marine products or race car bodies.

My hood is chop sprayed and not molded and you can tell it adds weight over the stock hood. I wish I knew where the original mold was in Claifornia. Fiero Phil may have it in his piled up items that were going to waste the last time I saw it.

I suspect the same thing myself...

This is the "Fie Ro" style hood scoop.

That is an amzing car.
That hood looks pro.

------------------

Not bad Racer_JT... Maybe not as wide, unless it was one piece. But I do like it, looks agressive.

Brian Lamberts... Too old school. Makes the Fiero look it's age. Not offending, just my personal opinion.

yellowstone it looks like the warber hood, not agressive.
