Years back the aftermarket for custom and standard Fiero parts was a decent size. As the car grew older the parts market became more specialized and some vendors dropped out of it. Judging by the activity on this forum it appears that there is still a market for Fiero parts. I started this post to give vendors and potential vendor a idea of what might be needed. In short the title should be "I'd like to see"

My suggestions:
One piece C4 taillight panel.
Mecham style side scoops.
Swap mounts for the LFX engine and 6T70 transmission.
Custom axles for the above.
Plastic Glovebox re-run.
Bracket for trunk mounted battery.

Add your idea's and if there is a demand, perhaps someone will make the parts.

Swap mounts and axles for the F40.

Edit - R.T. is doing mounting brackets. Still need a simple axle solution.

Yes, a more sturdy version of the PISA glove box would be great. Or, a revisit of Paul Vargyas' glove box. Either way, it needs to match the interior better.

I just need parts other than the seats.

I'd like the center console also. I think that would sell pretty good for some one.

These exist: https://www.fierostore.com/...px?s=52514&d=260&p=1

Or do you mean something different when you say "Pontiac Style"

If I was going to make something, I would make a bolt-in HVAC fan resistor replacement; one that doesn't get hot and catch leaves on fire.

That said, I'm trying to get my Fiero running before worrying about these details, so if someone wants to make and sell one before I get around to it, I'd buy one.

I would just be happy if someone started making stealth wing stands again!

And while I am adding to the wish list, someone to buy the Fiero Fiberglass molds (especially the side scoops) and start producing them again!

Let me add aero nose smoke and clear turn signal covers!

I know these are not 'new' ideas, but these items are currently not being made and used ones are a hot commodity!

As I have said before, a correct GT side window that has the correct curves AND the GT Logo clear w/ a slight green tint to the window itself, not the one now available via TFS. I want it just like the originals... period, not just close. I believe if the rear taillights can be done, the GT side windows can be done also.
