They cant get sued because one. It says Fiero on the Side. And Holley wants nothing more to do with the Fiero. They could care less. They have better things to do.

Why don't they just put "holley" on it then if holly doesn't care? Maybe holly doesn't know?
HOnestly, I don't care if they get sued or not, but i'm just surprised. (well not really I've read before that fierostore like to copy stuff...) I might actually go order one!

I'm sure that Holley's patent expired some time ago. It wouldn't be too tough for the Fiero Store just to buy the origina molds and adapt them for another logo. Frankly, I prefer "Fiero" on the side, rather than "Holley."
I'm sure that Holley's patent expired some time ago.
If memory serves me correctly, patents are only good for 17 years - as long as you pay the maintenence fees! That is why Coke & Pepsi aren't patented, because once the patent runs out anyone can "steal" the info and start making their own. I know this because I got a patent once.
Anyways, who's to say that Holley didn't sell off their jigs and someone else is now producing them? (And the Fiero store is buying them?) Either way, $20 is a good deal because that's what the original Holley scoops were. I'm buying a few when I get some extra cash!
I was one the first one’s to receive the scoop from the Fiero Store. I like it looks great I like it that is says Fiero on it. I have not installed it yet because my car is still at the paint shop. But my Car is black and scoop is black so I know it will look good. Any way I give the Fiero Store two thumbs up for it.
