Hand-laid hood vent of my own design. A friend saw mine, & said it was the "best looking hood vent" he'd ever seen on a Fiero, & I should pull a mold (so I did). Others have told me the same thing. Pics of one/other info can be seen in Scott Kimball's installation thread: https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum2/HTML/079950.html Production is limited to making one when I make other molds/parts & currently I'm out of mat so it'll be a while before I build another. I just got one back from a "friend" that never paid. I've contacted two people that *said* they wanted one but they have not gotten back to me. First person to email or PM me gets it: $150 + $20 shipping - MUST be a POSTAL money order. You can email me at ImThaDriver at yahoo. Thanks, ~ Paul aka "Tha Driver"
I'm not a complete idiot, some parts are missing.

Saw Ryan's Angel Vent on his car on the GARDEN STATE FIEROS website and it looks excellent so far. I might get one down the road for my other Fiero but first I want to see Ryan's vent after it's all painted and done. Hope to do business with you down the road.
Here's the link if anyone wants to see the angel vent on Ryan' car.
Thanks for that. Witrh my lousy alltel-windstream dialup the pics didn't load... (maybe I'll get them later). Do you want me to put you on the list for when I start making parts again? ~ Paul aka "Tha Driver"
Some people are like a Slinky, not good for anything, but they bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
I could make one extra thick around that edge, & grind the ridge off. But it wouldn't look near as good IMO as well as most everyone who's seen the vent. Everyone comments on how the ridge gives it more style than most. Also, it will be a while before I make another one 'cause I have very little mat left & can't afford another roll for a while. I have *one* made if you decide you want it with the ridge. You *can* fill the back of it yourself & grind the ridge off while you're installing it... Thanks, ~ Paul aka "Tha Driver"
Last hood vent is gone. I'll let everyone know when I get more mat & can make more. If someone wants to be put on a waiting list. PM me or email me at ImThaDriver at yahoo. Thanks, ~ Paul aka "Tha Driver"
yesterday I drove out to Paul's to pick up another hood scoop for the new 88 as I am collecting parts for a few body mods this winter.
Paul makes a great part but he is a little hard to get in contact with so I told him I would help out on that part of it. I have one person that wants a scoop already but we would like to do a run of 5 or more at one time if we can. they are 150 +shipping. PM me if you are wanting one. Dean
Com'on Dean, I'm not that hard to get ahold of. I answer emails & PMs several times a day. But, folks, I AM rather busy & Dean & I may be working together to produce my vents & other parts (like the door panels, & my other custom designs once I get molds off of them). For now I'm still making them myself on a per-order basis. ~ Paul aka "Tha Driver"
This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead. - Adolf Hitler
I've had some folks say they want a vent, but then none of them have gotten back to me to say they sent the MO. Rather than PM all of them, just thought I'd mention it here again....first come first served. It takes two or three days to make one (drying times)... ~ Paul aka "Tha Driver"
If guns cause crime, then pencils cause misspelled words.
Just so you're aware: The door panels are not "bolt-on" pieces out of the molds. I made them without molding grooves for my custom car, so that I can make further mods. They are still "wavy" like the plastic skins I pulled the molds from (although I tried to stabilize/flatten them as much as possible). Out of the molds they don't have the clips for the torx bolts to bolt them on, & don't have the top lip that pops over the edge to keep the top straight (since they are fiberglass they may not need it - I haven't finished with them on my car to see). In short, you'd have to do quite a bit of work to use them & make them look really good. They are not for the person that wants to bolt on an aftermarket part. (I build custom cars & am not really in the business of aftermarket parts.) Having said all that, I can make a set for $300 + shipping. Doing all the other work myself will add to the cost (& I don't have the torx clips to 'glass into them, or extra door frames for a jig to do so). Thanks, ~ Paul aka "Tha Driver"

Still 150 shipped? What type of resin do I need for installation? What do you think the added material cost would be for installation? Suggested brands / quantities? I'm collecting supplies between now and the 1st of the year. After that I will be ordering one of your vents. Thanks in adavance.
$150 + $20 shipping. You'll need Vette Panel Adhesive/Filler to bond it on & finish it out. I use Fiberglass Evercoat part # 870. Not sure if you can buy less than a quart, but you might as well buy a qt. anyway as you can use it to repair all of your SMC panels. ~ Paul aka "Tha Driver"
