Nice photoshop correction; now let's move onto those replica mirrors. D8 is right around the corner!

Here is a IDEA of the rear deck lid using Ponitac GTO vents. Still work-in-progress.... Ideas are welcomed

OPTION A v1


Here is another one with out the GTO vents.

OPTION B v1

Either one of those photoshop vents will work and will separate #025 from #015. I think that particular style would be the first on a Fiero or at least on a choptop. For option B, try reducing the center trail ends to match the outers. Remember, your front scoops trailing ends aren't elongated beyond a certain point. There isn't a "general" rule written in stones so you do have options. So far, you're on track.

Yeah, that's IMO better and now closely matches your front vents:



The same holds true for #013. If it works for Leroy's, it should work for #025.

Notice the ramp between the scoops.

so far I like this one, but just for fun do the center in a "V" like the nose center.

How about extending the elevated part of the scoop all the way back to the spoiler and actually have it exit on the back side of the spoiler. Then you could vent the decklid further back (over the rear manifold) and possibly improve rear engine compartment cooling. You could even float a thin line third brake light in the opening on the back side of the spoiler for a dual function mod. I would love to see a photoshop of this!

I know what you are talking about. I saw a picture somewhere, where the vent exit was thru the wing tail on the end... It would require modifying the wing, which I want to avoid and it would not match the hood scoop.
