i wish they would make something that looked nice instead of the "boxy" air intakes that i've seen for fieros...A kid at my highschool had a sweet air intake for his '91 mr2...had nice curves and went with the body stlying "hugging" the car along the side. If i can find a pic i think someone should fabricate something like it for the fiero...

The "Indy" scoop is only one scoop and it goes in the middle. The old "Fi-Air-O" scoops are the ones that went over the grates but I don't think they made them for the fastback. Although the pic of them here:
https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Archives/Archive-000002/HTML/20040710-1-036028.html

Looks like they could be modded to work.

For Coop:
There was also a "Lazy-C" scoop that wrapped around the side which looks simular to the MR2 scoop, But again, It was only for the notchback body style.

They looked like this:

Please remember that the engine vents are to vent air "OUT" of the engine bay. Not in. Air is directed from under the motor out the vents as you drive. I think its the same idea as a wing, a vacuum is created on top of the decklid, sucking air out. If you direct air "INTO" the vent, you will not allow hot air out. Trust me, i have had friends who have the scoops on their car, and they run hot.

They look great, but only use them for shows.

If you have a 1985-1987 V-6 Fiero, Those tubes are to blow cool air across the ignition coil and the alternator. There is a blower motor on the right side of the trunk under the carpet.
They did not use them on the 1988 V-6 cars.
