What he said.

If anybody's interested in making these scoops I'll buy a set.

Good question. Most people that have non pop up lights have found a dark area just to the right and left of the front corners of the car. I have heard that a set of driving lights installed out front in the scoop overcomes this problem. We bought a set but have not yet installed them.

the mustang hood wouldnt be all that functional on a fiero since it needs to vent air not take more in.

I think it is a good idea. I actually started the same thing, but decided to go with a non-vented hood. I get lots of cooling without it. I think the concept is first rate though, and it will look exceptionally good when finished.

I did the Sunbird vents on a hood, got tired of it, (my flushmounts with the vents was too 'busy' a look for me) and tried to sell it. No takers although one guy wanted to buy just the vents.

Thanks Arn,

I actually started a build thread for the scoop. https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/073351.html I have the plug complete and it is going to Dan, thursday or friday, to have a mold made.

That is by far the best hood I have ever seen on a Fiero. It actually looks like it came from the factory. Definately gives the Fiero a serious look.

However, and I am not sure why, but it looks better on a Notchback in my opinion.

Is this design going to be functional? I would think that the area behind the rise would create back pressure, and in turn actually push air into the vent rather then drawing it out. Similar to the relationship between a pickups roof and open bed. Whe you open the rear sliding windows of a pickup air will be forced into the cab not drawn out of the cab. This hood vent will be on a smaller scale but I would think a similar effect would take place. Just a thaught, I am by no means an aeronautical engineer. Could work great for all I know!

It does create the necessity to run the AC in recirculating mode in the summer if the T-tops are not off because so much heat in near the interior air intake.
