Unfortunately it doesn't exist. You could try and customize your own kit to mimic the 90. Or if you had the money could maybe pay too have one made. But the cost would be prohibitive to produce a single kit. Part of the reason there isn't one.

MsLoriFiero was working on a kit, but I believe the idea was abandoned due to the whole project being cost prohibitive. By the time the R&D and cost of materials was put into making a kit, the kit's creator would have a hard time recouping their investment.
Although, I'd be VERY interested in a kit if one was ever produced.

It certainly is not beyond the abilities of folks on this forum to do it... Look at Alex's widebody and the creations of Orville, and the Late Alex's Plazma.
The problem is to do it for profit would be difficult. It would take way too much of a person's time and energy then to have to deal with sales, and service after the sale. And after all that was said and done people would complain that it looks too much like a 17 year old car, or a 4th gen F-body.
People with the skills are going to want to create a unique car that doesn't look like anything else on the road. No one wants to spend that much time making a copy of something that already exists.
Now having said that, If I had the skills I would build a copy for myself, and if someone wanted to buy the molds off me I would sell them. But I am no where near talented enough to build one of those myself.

Maybe someday doing the tail lights has crossed my mind. I do like them and the way they are tilted, They dont really look like the tails on the 4th gen F-bodies. Customize the lenses differently and it wouldnt look anything like them.

JumpStart gave me an idea...what if each person did one little part? One person do the taillights, another the side vent, another the rear quarter, and so on. No one piece would be too difficult, and anybody that wanted a 1990 prototype could buy all the peices and assemble?
I could maybe do the dash pod. That is probably within my range of abilities.

ask NASA, or GM or CERN i'm sure we could do it. especially now, with instantaneous communication, collaborative software, and a network of so many of us evenly distributed across this country and up into canada, that no one would have to drive that far to help relay-deliver a part from one place to another, if shipping proved to be too expensive for multi-stage test fits. i would love to help, in whatever capacity i can. i just hope the GTP shape can be made, as it's soooooooo mean and sexy looking.

That's a great idea, and most likely the only way that a 1990 kit would ever see the light of day. For one person to create the kit himself, is a huge project to tackle; but if the work load is distributed among many members, it just may be possible.
If only I had the skills to help, I'd jump in and help whoever would be willing.
The 90 Fiero was hand made so anything is possible Maseratis, Lamborghinnis, Bentleys, Ferraris and Rolls Royce Cars are esssentially hand made. Even the engines are indidually machined . NASCAR car bodies are also hand formed from sheet steel using a forming wheel , hammers, dollys and heat. Sure a custom 90 Fiero could be built but why would you want to devote all that work to a car that has 17 years old styling.
