There are quite a few hood vent options for the Fiero, however, most of them require a lot of body work and repaint etc. This can get pretty costly and time consuming so I came up with a solution with the following requirements:

- Can be installed in an afternoon (fairly easily)
- Entire installation and product cost less than $200
- Looks aggressive but appropriate for the Fiero
- Functional
- Spare tire compartment remains sealed and unmodified.

I ended up making these custom aluminum vents that flow with the lines of the hood, and fit nicely in the front section to relieve pressure build up at high speeds.







They are made entirely from aluminum and I stock them in black powdercoat or bare aluminum.

You will need to simply cut two holes in your hood, drill the mounting holes, and rivet the vent into place. In this case I used normal aluminum rivets, but you can also find black rivets to make them blend in. The vents actually somewhat match the vents at the back of the car and really do a nice job of letting the pressure out at high speeds.













Price is as follows:

Black Powder Coat: $175
Bare Aluminum: $155

Get them while you can! I have a few of each in stock!

Very cool! Finally body work that doesn't need a body and paint guy!

I wonder although, how this would look if it was mounted from the inside and glued in for no rivet holes

If you can cut the holes perfectly, you could try this. Once you cut the hood though, I'm sure the edges will need rework if you want to mount underneath.
