Hey everyone,

I'm new to these forums and also the owner of a Fiero Ferrari F40 replica that I just purchased a few days ago. The car only has 12k miles on it and I'm beyond excited to finally own something like this.

I have seen several pictures of the replicas that use some type of "ferrari engine plate" that goes over top of the fiero block to cover up the lettering. I'm curious where I can purchase something like this, or who makes them. I can't seem to find anything.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks everyone.

I imagine you could get a intake that isn't engraved and have the ferrari logo engraved on it fairly easily. Non-engraved plenums are readily available. Look in the mall section.

What year is your replica? The '85-'86 Fieros with the 2.8L V6 utilized a 'Fiero' decal on the plenum. The decal is easily removable and anything you want could be put there. If it is an '87-'88, then it should have a plenum with 'Fiero' engraved, which is a little more difficult to modify.

Early Style


Later Style


Note that the surface area is not that large on the earlier style, meaning that whatever plate you place onto it will likely be larger than the ridges underneath. As mentioned there are some outlets that offer and have offered replica plates, but some have them custom made.

I will say that the engraved plenum is typically more valuable to Fiero owners than the non-engraved one. I recently swapped my '86 GT's for an engraved one, so if you do have an engraved plenum look to offload it for some cash before you modify it for your replica.

Additionally, if you look above the MAF, you'll notice the brake vacuum hose protrusion is a different size. On the engraved ones, this can be removed as it's threaded. However, on the non-engraved it cannot. The size is a large enough difference that the hoses cannot be switched between one another without issues.
