I made these a while ago but i figure i should put them on this forum as well
I drew up the two types of clips that hold the black stripe trim onto the door and fenders. I've uploaded it to thingiverse
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4917631
they work pretty well, i've been using them on my fiero and theyve held in alright.
I hope this proves useful to someone. Might be cheaper and faster than getting them shipped from the fiero store if you already have a 3d printer.

This would probably be the first thing I would print, if I had a 3D printer.
Still haven't decided what 3D printer to get. I'm paralyzed because of choice overload.

Generally, the ender 3 is the best choice for beginners if it meets your needs. I personally have an anycubic 4max pro because i needed the larger build volume, but I don't recommend it because its potential for upgrades is limited.
avoid the anet a8, it catches fire[This message has been edited by az4521 (edited 02-25-2022).]

Watch the plastic type...
While this part is not in Direct sunlight...
Heat, Ozone and "water" will cause problems w/ some plastic types.
"" means Polluted Water w/ road salt, oil, and worse crap.
OE ones die for same reasons and go brittle and snaps easy bumping the trim or try to remove trim after just 5-10 years.------------------

Hey thanks for posting on here too! I'm surprised so many Fiero things are on thingiverse actually. And pretty neat things too. I plan on printing some caps for the arm rests on the doors, where the 2 big holes for the screws are.

Just for the everyones information... if the part is going to be in sunlight, print with ASA. ASA has the same mechanical strength as ABS, but with better thermal and UV resistance. PLA should never be used for car parts IMO

I have the Ender 3. Its a great printer with great parts, but really badly assembled. Once you get everything dialed in, it prints just as good or better then printers 4x the cost.[This message has been edited by Xenoblast (edited 03-19-2022).]

ASA is a good choice. PETG is also a good choice. I've made many parts for my Fiero, including the reading light lens from clear PETG that amazed me how clear it was. Tricky to print clear but it does work better than not having the lens. FYI I used LEDs for the lamp because of significantly less heat than incandescent.

True that. I have the Ender-3 Max and had many problems with it after I just got it. After tightening all screws, replacing the Bowden tube (with a Capricorn tube because the original crumbled to pieces inside the hot end within days of use) and adding an extra Z-axis, it prints damn near perfect. I still want to replace the Bowden setup for a direct drive extruder so I can print with more exotic materials (like TPU).
