Don't jet fighters have speed brakes that open to slow down the plane? Maybe you guys are exceeding the flight tolerances of your Fieros at 100+ MPH and this is a built in spoiler?

time for recessed lights

OOOPs sorry for snoozing. My vent are the honeycomb mesh thats under the rear deck vents. I removed them from the vents,cut them to shape and glued them in using a two part metalset epoxy.

i glued them in on the inside of the hood its not the prettiest install but they work.
