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.

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

Get them while you can! I only have a few left and I'm not sure I plan to make anymore after this batch.

Best bet is to email me on my website to get a hold of me the quickest.

Thanks!

Just a question; could those be tweaked to shutter open with fan engaged ?

Anything is possible, but it would be very difficult. You would essentially have to mutilate the vent and come up with some sort of hinge system to remount all of the slats. Would be very cool though!

Just an idea that I might try on my gt. Instead of mounting this on top of the hood, why not cut out a hole just for the vents to poke through. Mount it from the bottom maybe.

It's possible but it will require body work... unless you have a really steady hand and can make that cut look awesome! The idea of the top mount is obviously to hide the cut. If you'd like to try it out just shoot me an email and I have a few more vents.

Thanks!
