It's definitely not flexed, as it is thick fiberglass. The problem is to make the hole round, I would have to cut material from the top or bottom of the hole, thus removing the lip that curves inward. Then if I can do that sucessfully, there will still be a gap on the left and right, because, as of now, it is already wider than the light before cutting anything. |

Or can you can safely put a shim on either side of the bulb or mount, to keep the gap the same all the way around? I'm not sure.
I would contact Archie, with all that exoperience he'd have some thoughts.

Here are a couple printed out on a vinyl that is made for ink jet printers, that has a peel off backing. I then covered that in a transparent laminate. This gives the stickers a nice gloss over them, much like the factory stickers.
Here is one that goes under the decklid:

I am most certainly not keeping the car "true to stock", but I think replacing the stickers will give it a bit of an extra touch.
Oh, I almost forgot, CaptnDean called me, and we are going to head to the junk yard and browse around. We keep looking for Fiero's, but we never find one. Anyways, he has an idea for some fog lights, available in the junkyard. He says they are a better option for the ones that I mentioned in the previous post. Better quality & cheaper, that's fine by me!

Absolutely! after all the work I have put into these... but at this time I just have the 86' emissions sticker done. Each year is very different, and gonna take quite a few hours to do each one of the others.[This message has been edited by JohnWPB (edited 09-08-2013).]

Yes, I wish we did live closer! As for the stickers, I will be doing all of them! So far I have the emission stickers for all 6Cyl's for 85,86, 87 & 88. I still need scans / high resolution pictures of the 4 cyl's stickers for all 5 years. Just the emissions sticker is the one that changes based on year and engine. (Coolant fill & fan warnings have 2 versions in the stickers I did to cover all years)
You can find the ones I have done for purchase on my website at FieroStuff.com[This message has been edited by JohnWPB (edited 09-16-2013).]
